admissions will tell you "thanks for your note, we've added it to your file"
I know, I've tried both places.
May I suggest going higher up the ladder?

Fwiw, admissions also told me no money and they couldn't increase it. But that was like 2-3 months ago.

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
Yep...I made a formal request and they just said "Sorry, we're unable to increase your scholarship." That was it. I guess I could try again. Worst thing that could happen: I get another no.najumobi wrote:were you given a reason why your request was not granted? like did they say something along the lines of "yada yada yada....no more money" ?? if this is true i guess you could ask again since it looks like they have the money now (or at least very recently) to increase scholarships.2013esq wrote:How are people getting scholarship increases? I already have a pretty big one, but was hoping for more (who isn't?!). I'm a bit reluctant to send my signed financial aid letter back just in case I may be able to get more. I requested an increase and was told no - should I just accept what I have?

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
I pretty much made my decision before I made that thread. I just wanted affirmation about my decision. But it looks like there are split camps. I'm not going to withdraw from the Illinois or Minnesota waitlists either until August. I want to see what kind of scholarship money they offer me at least. Illinois has been giving substantially more to splitters this year, and I get reciprocity at Minnesota, which when added to their typical splitter scholarship, could end up being a substantial tuition discount.romothesavior wrote:JCougar, I didn't recognize you at first with that 'tar.

I'd do anything baseball/softball related. I might also continute to take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu if I can find a good dojo. It's likely nothing will get out law school stress like choking people.NU_Jet55 wrote:Anybody else planning on staying sane/in shape by getting involved in some intramural sports?

I'll probably be in for intramural softball and/or flag football. Also plan to get a group together for racquetball -- crazy fun and really great exercise.NU_Jet55 wrote:Anybody else planning on staying sane/in shape by getting involved in some intramural sports?

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
I really want a tennis or racquetball partner. I didn't play in high school or college, so I'm not a star or anything like that, but I can keep a good volley going. I mostly want to do it for the fun and the exercise... I remember I lost like 20 pounds in Thailand from playing hours of tennis every day.

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
I've lost about 18 pounds in the last 3 months. I have a jiu-jitsu tournament in Orlando this weekend, and I want to make it into a lower weight class so I'm not going up against these behemoths that are on steroids like I did last time.romothesavior wrote:I really want a tennis or racquetball partner.

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
Can girls play IM football? If there's no rugby I'm down for football! I don't really do ball sports that well though, the whole not seeing very well puts a damper on that aspect. I like to tackle people though !romothesavior wrote:I'm in for football, baseball/softball, and dodgeball.

PS- as for scholarships, I'm pretty sure they won't increase your scholarship if you already have a decent chunk of change. It seems like everyone who is denied an increase already has large scholarships. Also you need to email a person directly, not admissions or financial aid, those two accounts don't have the authority to override scholarships and are probably told to say hey there's not a lot more money to give. Just a thought. Also write a thank you after. I seriously think that's what possibly got me my unsolicited increase. I sent a handwritten one.

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
That has been a general observation of mine as well. Not sure what it means though. They may have denied mine because they know who I am and they know I am coming.robin600 wrote:Can girls play IM football? If there's no rugby I'm down for football!

Re: WUSTL Class of 2013
Makes perfect sense. Nice call on the thank you note Robin! I can't imagine that I'd get any increase at this point but I'll probably try anyway.romothesavior wrote:That has been a general observation of mine as well. Not sure what it means though.
