Additional info & updates

BYU acceptance came email then snail mail. Full tuition renewable

USC Acceptance came in a big envelope very thick. Later in another large envelope came a scholarship offer of 12k a year need and merit based. I wish they would seperate the two. Although USC is a great school and I am happy to receive the offer it is probably not enough to lure me to LA.

Duke acceptance came in an email then a big packet....$25k a lot of money from a top ten, but I was really hoping for more leaving Utah is going to be tough for my wife and me. I actually appealed my scholarship and it was doubled to 50k over five semesters not bad, but I think I hear UVA calling.......Still, it is tempting because well Blue Devil Basketball is pretty awesome

Virginia acceptance was messed up I got info about the admitted students website before my acceptance letter which came in a small envelope. 3/30 I found out via telephone call to admissions office that I have received a $21k per year scholarship. T his very well be enough to lure me away from Utah. I visited. I loved it, but I will miss Utah for 3 years before I can make my way back.

Utah Acceptance came via telephone call from Associate Dean Reyes Aguillar around 5:30 Mountain Time. Later on small envelope $4500 merit scholarship and $4350 tuition waiver. So I guess that is pretty close to full tuition depending on what they set it at this year.

Michigan waitlist came as a surprise in an email. I guess the moral is don't apply so late, write optional essays, and send in fall grades when your applications are still under consideration. That being said I will say THEIR LOSS

Harvard by phone several days after they called to see if I was still interested........ I received the famous red binder shipped priority a couple of days later..... The problem was a 1 bedroom apartment in Cambridge will run me about 1500 per month.....ouch.... unless financial aid comes through I can't imagine a 100k difference in Harvard and UVA, but maybe I am crazy.

Don't you just wish they would hurry up......

With a 176 why did you even bother applying to BYU and Utah? You should get significant money from Michigan and Duke. Good luck

I love Utah
Wednesday, August 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

I want to practice in Utah. I will probably be able to go to either one for free and that would be nice, but If I get significant money from Michigan, Virginia, or Duke then I would be headed East with plans to return. I would have only applied to BYU, but my wife wanted me to apply to Utah as well so I did, but I won't rule that out at all.

I love Utah as well

If you want to practice at one of the "elite" firms in Utah, (elite-for-Utah firms) then you should go to whichever top ten school gives you ends up being the least expensive. I am a big fan of UVA.

I agree to a point
Wednesday, August 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

I pretty much agree with you that is what I want to do, but I want to keep the option of free law school in Utah open depending on the amount of scholarship/financial aid I am given at the top ten schools to which I have applied

BYU scholarship

I got an email from Dean hernandez saying it was in the mail then it came a couple of days later. Their admissions consider soft factors, but their scholarships are pretty much based on numbers alone. So if your index is lower than a 236-238 you probably won't get anything. Some people with indexes as high as 243 I know got half only.

Utah status

Has your status page changed at Utah yet? When were you complete?

Missionary in Bulgaria?
Sunday, July 10 2005 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on all of the acceptances. What did you do in Bulgaria?

mich WL
Thursday, June 09 2005 at 08:00 PM

so I guess that means you are turning down the wl option?

Probably
Wednesday, August 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

I will probably just not take them up on the offer of the waitlist. I don't like to be excluded from merit based offers. They probably didn't even take time to read my file more than my numbers and my numbers should have been enough, but weren't like everyone else who got waitlisted. Oh well I understand it must be difficult for them.

go to Virginia!!!!
Monday, July 25 2005 at 08:00 PM

Let me talk to you about the benefits of Virginia over BYU. When are you going to visit Charlottesville? Email me.

dude...
Sunday, April 10 2005 at 08:00 PM

you can practice anywhere in the country if you are near the top at byu... and Utah's elite recruit heavily from both utah and byu. And you would have 2 summers to meet them and intern here without having to move.

Congrats on Harvard
Monday, July 25 2005 at 08:00 PM

Congrats on Harvard! So will it be Harvard or UVA?

UVA
Wednesday, August 17 2005 at 08:00 PM

Barring great financial aid from Harvard I don't see a 100k difference you know what I mean? When I ran the numbers it was a LOT to go to Harvard. I sent my UVA deposit in, but if Harvard came through with a good amount of financial aid that would be awesome.
