I think GWU ran out of money for PMS after the first few, or my letter had a typo. When I first posted, I thought that all the PMSes were the same. Now I feel a little weird. They'd take away my scholarship if the see the "impressive achievement" I just made of a DiGornio pizza in the toaster oven. Did you go to the admitted students reception at Arent Fox last week? I dropped half an egg roll on Dean Trangsrud at the reception. Anyway you're going to have to make the tough decsion between GWU money and top-10 prestige. Mad props for not giving Gtown the time of day :-) Drop me an IM if you want to swap stories. I'm in DC too.
Nah, I'm sure your PMS $ wasn't a typo -- there's someone else on here who got offered $15K back in January, so there must be *some* rhyme or reason to their offers. I didn't apply to Gtown because everyone I know who came out of Gtown Law basically said, "Ehh, it was okay." I'm not prepared to invest $150,000 and 3 years of my life for an "Ehh, it was okay." Sorry, no IM. But drop me a line if you're planning to go to the PMS reception -- particularly if you're planning on dropping any more oily food on high-ranking administrators. I want to watch.
Hmm, i wrote a post but it's not here. You can see my email if you do Edit Account -> Edit Posts. I'm looking forward to attending the PMS night and the preview days, yeah. I wrote some funny stuff about an orangutan too but I forgot it.
hey, what are you griping about gwu for? you want to trade your NW prize for it? If I were a dean, I wouldn't give me a scholarship over you.

Griping? Who's griping? I don't see anybody griping. Do you see anybody griping? Maybe the gripers all disappeared to the same place as the comedic orangutans. Besides, the NW $ is a combination of need- and merit-based aid. Maybe the admissions people decided to take pity on my earnest but pathetic attempt at a savings account.
well, you posted "grr" on my account. Maybe I was presumptuous in presuming the 'ipe" :-) Seriously, if I misread you and mischaracterized you, I apologize. NWU did need aid already? That's cool fast. I assume that savings account against need award. i.e., if we got it, they want it. i was thinking about blowing all my savings on creme brule before filing the FAFSA.
No, don't apologize. There was definitely some "ipe"-ing involved on my part. =) The NW and U.Va. financial aid applications were both due Feb. 15, so I was presumptuous and sent my info in before I'd been admitted. (Hey, it worked in both cases -- maybe I should have sent my financial info to the rest of my schools too.) But yes, I agree -- NW is being cool fast about getting back to people. I've been told by a source -- how reliable a source, I don't know, but he got into Stanford Law so he can't be a complete idiot -- that the only thing law schools can't touch is IRAs. Hmm, what a dilemma -- creme brule now or real money later?
GWU will probably boost your PMS prize with a need-based award too, just like NWU did. I wouldn't be surprised if the PMS staff choose PMS numbers with the financial aid estimates in mind. My 4 yrs 'professional' WE plus employed parents (== no need-based aid) might have created an illusory advantage in the PMS award phase.
Just wanted to stop by and say hi!
Congrats on all the acceptances! You are secretly me with the insight of getting a good GPA before trying to go to law school, haha! E-mail me or IM me some time! Best of luck to you!
Thanks, Dina! Columbia was originally my # 2 choice (after HLS) way back when I was deciding where to apply. Now that I've had time to think about it, however, I'm not really sure I want to move to NYC. I went to NW's admit dinner in D.C., and someone there described Chicago as a cleaner, cheaper version of NYC. I think she had a point. In short, NW's still very much in the running (especially if CLS doesn't give me any $ -- and I'm not sure how much they have left at this point). I'm going to NW's admit weekend this Saturday, so hopefully I'll be able to make a more informed decision after that.
did you decide on Columbia? I think on the whole NW debate, I'm leaning towards NYU... but I called NW and they gave me an extra 5 days to decide (until 4/20/05). How was the admit weekend?
now GWU and UCLA get to spend a few weeks wooing and charming and bribing and befriending you before the Accept's come in from the big guns. stay strong :)
