WUSTL 2011 Cycle

[JenDarby]

Has anyone had success negotiating for scholarship increases this year or in years past? Wondering how receptive WUSTL tends to be to that sort of thing.

I'm really hoping to negotiate a bit more as well. Especially if my February retake pans out.

I've asked for more money.

We'll see how it goes...

Anyone remember what the login information is for the ASW?

Unless you changed your password, it should be as follows:

Your username for the ASBB is your primary email address.

Your password is the first initial of your first name, the first initial of your last name, and the last four digits of your social security number (or, if you did not include a SSN on your application, the last four digits of the number that was assigned as your SSN on your law school application).

Example:
Applicant, Jane Doe; Primary Email, janedoe@mail.com; SSN, XXX-XX-1234
Username: janedoe@mail.com
Password: jd1234

Yea. It's for them to figure out loans and such. Just fill it out, no worries!

Has anyone else emailed them to negotiate a scholly increase? They haven't responded to my email.

"I’d be happy to forward your request to the Scholarship Committee. However, they are not awarding any additional scholarship money yet."

"I’d be happy to forward your request to the Scholarship Committee. However, they are not awarding any additional scholarship money yet."

You got this when you sent in a scholly negotiation email?

I wonder why they didn't respond to mine

If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about asking for more $. I feel like the scholly I got was a generous gift and that asking would be selfish, but its not like they're going to revoke my acceptance, so why the hell not try for more.

I got it a few minutes ago. I sent in the request a few days ago.

I said that I'd love to attend, I appreciate the offer and would like to be in St. Louis, but the higher offer and lower tuition at UIUC is a bit too significant to pass up. Something along those lines.

"I’d be happy to forward your request to the Scholarship Committee. However, they are not awarding any additional scholarship money yet."

At Saturday's ASD, I overheard an admissions staff member basically say that if you ask for more money, they add you to a list to be reevaluated, but that they won't start looking at this until at least mid-March.

So what I got from this was basically make sure you contact them, that they won't look at it negatively, but that they will go back through and consider you again if you request it. She also mentioned including other accepted schools and their offers.

Hey, quick questions for anyone who filled out WUSTL's own fin aid thing

So I get to the very end where it asks about property/cars/credit card debt I have, and then at the very bottom, it asks,

"What is the dollar assessment of your financial need?"

and

"With this figure in mind, how much will you need in loans to help you meet that figure?"

Does this mean just for 1 year or over all 3 years? Even if it means just 1 year, how am I supposed to know what my "dollar assessment" is for financial aid?

Say my estimated expenses were $65,000 and I have ... $0 (haven't received a decision yet, so no idea if scholarship). Does that mean my estimate is $65,000 and that I will need $65,000 in loans?

I'm a tad confused lol. Any help?

That is how I filled it out.

+1 I filled it out on the assumption that I would be admitted with no scholarship.

[PrayingforHYS]

Thanks. I did the same. W/e -- I guess they'll correct me if need be

Keep in mind that whatever loan package they suggest, you can always take less, and you can usually request more and get it without too much trouble.
