Scholarship contingency

Yes, my Chapman scholarship stipulates a 2.9 1L GPA and 3.0 for 2L and 3L which is why I am shying away from them. I called and asked what percentage of their students receive a 2.9 or above and she did not give me a straightforward answer and really beat around the bush when it came to my questions about scholarship retention.

good luck with your cycle! hopefully you will get into USC or UCI and Chapman will not even have to cross your mind!

Thanks, kamronabedi, for getting back to me. I was curious about their scholarship retention numbers too, couldn't find anything online regarding stats on them. I have a friend who dropped out of Chapman first semester b/c he didn't find it to be the rosy environment he was led to believe. But...I don't think any law school can be, really.

Good luck!

What's your first choice?

Thanks!

I haven't heard from UCI or USC yet, though I am not holding out a whole lot of hope as my numbers are out of range for them both. I am going on the Chapman weekend and will find out more about the conditions of their scholarships and the likelihood of retaining one.
