1/21/15 Wrote GPA addendum. External circumstances neg impacted my GPA significantly.

Additional info & updates

6/2: Charlotte & FC called to offer full ride. FC "Coastal Law Vicennial Scholarship" added $5k stipends, MacBook air, and 11st priority registration. Charlottes Emerging Scholars Scholarship was similar.

3/25: I've paid my seat deposit at Bowen after visiting the school. The program, library, and cost of living fit my needs perfectly

3/19: Mercer went from 10k to 14k with 76 gpa stip. Probably pretty difficult to maintain that GPA. Their tuition is about 38K; so it'd be around 24k not including the 20k cost of living.

3/13: Best schollly offer - UALR. Non-resident & 50% off merit award!! Going to visit soon.

3/10/16: OKC responded to my scholly increase email & upped it from 12 to 14k annual.

3/7/16: Accepted via status checker to Arkansas; nothing said about a scholly

3/5/16: Visited MC and planning to visit Mercer soon. Two things I've noticed - one: be sure to look at the TOTAL debt load after calculating scholarship info, assuming a scholarship is kept all 3 years. two: be sure to VISIT the school. Several are in pretty sketchy locations.

2/28/16: Ahhhh. Checked mailbox & received rejection letters from both schools in my state.

2/23/16: PC acceptance from Charleston; package in mail soon

2/20/16: Withdrew from St. Thomas.

2/15/16: Wait-listed at Stetson
-Rejected from WVU (letter received 2.22)
-Checking UT religiously

2/10/16: W&L, rejected as expected

2/9/16: Call from OK City - going to send scholarship info soon
-Accepted at Mercer

2/5/16: Rejected at Nova

1/29/16 Accepted @ Florida Coastal - 20k/2.7 GPA

1/29/16 Acceptance e-mail from Barry along w/ $15k/2.6 GPA
-Acceptance phone call from Dean of Admissions @ Miss State. She was so sweet!! $15k annual scholarship and I will receive more info soon

1/28/16 Acceptance e-mail from Charlotte along w/ $20k annual 3.0GPA

** I've received fee waivers automatically via email from most schools, and all others I simply requested for merit or need-based waivers and all have come through.

do you know why you were not accepted at nova?

Alitt33 I was offered to participate in the AAMPLE program, so there was a possibility that I would've been accepted pending the result of my participation. Not sure why that was - probably my borderline LSAT & low GPA.

Did you get any warning from Belmont? I got a call on 1/13 saying my app was going to be reviewed and the status checker still says under review.

Yes, the status checker changed to "decision made - letter in mail". Problem was, the letter didn't arrive until 2 weeks after status checker changed - ugh!

Scholarship Email to OKC?
Wednesday, January 06 2016 at 12:55 PM

Hi! Congrats on your cycle! Well done! Can you give me some info on the scholarship increase email you sent to OKC? Specifically how you phased it. Did you leverage your other scholarships?

OKC

Hey finao81! I sent them a basic email telling them thank you, I'm very interested in the school, etc. etc. and telling them a very brief bit about other school offers without going into specifics. Here was their response: "What I ask admitted students to do if they have received other scholarship offers and ask me to reconsider our offer is to scan and send me the other offer by email and I will review it and see if we can adjust our current scholarship offer." Hope this helps!

Did Tulsa outright reject you or did they interview first?

Tulsa

Pretty sure they were an outright rejection.
