You didn't get the email btw because you are probably eligible for need aid.. Apparently they forgot to mention that not all those who are eligible for need aid get it. On a side note, I think I heard Jamal (or maybe some other main person at the office) has left.. You may want to email someone else.

uh oh...I literally just saw him at the diversity reception in SF. Nagged him in person to but he didn't budge at all. So how do they determine between those who are eligible who gets aid and who doesnt? Bc I'll be frank, I thought I was one of the poorest if not the poorest person applying to law schools haha

Re: UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall) Law Class of 2019
The unfortunate truth, sadly I feel like half the time need aid is awarded for PR purposes. As in you would have gotten "X" amount of aid, but if you're poor they relabel it as need-based.KiltedKicker wrote:Likely given out based on how much they want you to attendmiddleastpeace wrote:skimmilk wrote:middleastpeace wrote:Also just called their finaid department...they are moving to another office so their voicemail said they won't have access to phones from april 21-26....GET IT TOGETHER YOU GUYS wowmiddleastpeace wrote:lolRCscrewyou wrote:All need-based money has been disbursed.

Sad to say I withdrew yesterday. Didn't get much aid from Boalt but hope it finds its way back to some deserving folks here. Best of luck to everyone wherever you end up!

Re: UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall) Law Class of 2019
Please let me know if you hear anything about this. I received my matching scholarship offer this past Thursday and I asked for more otherwise I will have to enroll elsewhere. I'm hoping to hear back within the next few days or I will have to withdraw my application.GrumpyYellowOgre wrote:Has anyone had any success in negotiating higher merit offers? Has anyone tried?

Has anyone received both a matching scholarship and a merit scholarship? I have a deadline this week for a matching scholarship but I'm really hoping I still have a chance at more money through a merit scholarship.

Also sent a couple of e-mails this way and finally received a response - basically urging me to make a decision as things are, since it's a toss up whether I will get any money or not.RationalHeretic23 wrote:I sent it to Kristen and CCed Dean Tom and the office of financial aid.
