Additional info & updates

-4/29/10: sent deposit to Yale, which edged Stanford in a virtual coin toss. Michigan (with Darrow) and Harvard weren't far behind, either.
-4/21/10: Harvard emails to say its finaid offer isn't changing.
-4/19/10: Stanford offers new finaid package of $24,825 in need-based grants per year.
-4/14/10: finaid letter from Stanford. Offer of $10,456 grant per year. Sent Harvard and Stanford emails detailing Yale's finaid offer to see if they would consider matching.
-4/8/10: finaid letter from Harvard. Offer of $18,690 grant per year.
-3/25/10: finaid letter from Yale. Scholarship above (NEED-BASED GRANT) is a 3-year projection. The grant is for $25,450 per year, but since I will likely try to work at a firm during my 2L summer, I expect YLS would offer me no need-based money for my 3L year.
-3/4/10: full Darrow from Michigan
-2/3/10: JR1
-1/28/10: JR1 email
-Submission issue w/ HLS led to the completion delay
-How did people get fee waivers?

Congrats on Yale!

You must have some killer softs in addition to those numbers. Don't forget to send some Cristal to your LOR writers, they obviously sold you well.

H and Y

Yeah thanks. I hope to join you in the trifecta club soon.

Sunday, December 27 2009 at 07:00 PM

Thanks, congrats to you too. I'd love Y but very happy with H or S.

Financial Aid

Congrats on your cycle. Hopefully we'll be attending somewhere together in the fall. I'm in the opposite position on financial aid. Yale offered $19,600/year and Stanford $32,000/year. I've been uncertain about what to do. Do you know if it's taboo to inquire about matching? Have you gotten any kind of reaction so far?

Great scholly money
Wednesday, December 30 2009 at 07:00 PM

Does Yale base the need-based grant on previous year's earnings? If so, the 2L summer earnings might not effect your 3L year since they occur in the same calender year.

will almost certainly be a permanent feature of my resume -- it's about as great an interview icebreaker as you could want. Godspeed with the super-awesome S v. Y choice.
