I feel you on the poor standardized test-taking. I've had to fight that my entire life. You should email them about more of an offer once you've figured it all out. Best of luck

I still need to do the FAFSA, but this sucks.. I should be getting something with that GPA. My LSAT is slightly off for the bigger scholarships, but still.. I guess I just need to wait to know for sure.

Not to get anyone's hopes up but I had been told verbally by two different people in their office of admissions that I would NEVER be considered for ANY scholarship because my LSAT was too low. Surprisingly, they've offered me a full-tuition Trustee's scholarship.

By phone? I am not expecting a full one, but something at least. I got a bad feeling about this since I heard nothing on the phone. If my status checker does not update, I will just wait for the mail.

I did receive a phone call (voicemail) and they did say congratulations and that they were offering a full tuition scholarship. My status checker also reflected this but not until the day after.

I guess I have to be patient. I was hoping my GPA would count for something since my school is known to be tough. Maybe anyone under 157 is not eligible for anything?

Well, that's my point. I only have a 155.

Hah and a 154 doesn't mean shit? What is your GPA? URM? Some super soft or something? Congrats! I am happy they overlooked your LSAT. I got into Penn State which is awesome. I doubt I will get much if anything there. I got shutout at a local T3 with only 5k a year but another one with half tuition. It seems rather random. I still have schools to hear from as well as scholarships. I hope something good happens.

Congrats on Penn State. I got into Notre Dame. I'm nothing special. I'm chalking all this up to an admissions mistake. I applied super early and had everything ready to go in August. I'm a non-trad with 6 years paralegal experience. That's about it.

Why oh why didn't I apply!. Wow that is amazing...

No mention of scholarship on the status checker. WTF. If I don't get a decent scholarship offer in my packet, I will not be attending. This was high on my list, but it might now be on the bottom.

wow pleasantly surprised today. says admitted with full scholarship. didn't think it was possible with my 158

Might as well get a tag in this topic too. I applied back around 12/20, but almost nothing has happened with my application since then, it has just been sitting at "complete."

Nevermind that last post.

I received a call today: accepted with a 75% scholarship

Honestly, kind of disappointed. I expected full tuition.

I received my acceptance today with a full tuition scholarship via phone call. Also, I am attending Michigan State currently for undergrad, so if anyone has any questions about the campus or area, feel free to ask!

For those of you who received a phone call today, when did you go complete on status checker? I've been stuck at complete since 1/11

Ah what the hell. How did I get no word of a scholly over the phone when the guy called me last week. For everyone that got the phone call recently: does your status checker say you got a scholarship?

your status checker will tell you - admitted with scholarship.

I got a 75% scholly, and no phone call. teh only phone call I got from an admissions officer was from a school that accepted me a day after i sent my withdrawl notice. Awkward for her, but I told her that my situtation changed, and the school was no longer a good fit for me. she said she understood. doesnt really matter to me though

I guess I really got nothing then. This totally sucks. I am waiting for my admission packet still, but the status checker just says admitted. How do I get into Penn State, but get no money from MSU? I'm not going to expect money at this point. If the packet has any, I will at least be somewhat surprised.

Edit: If I am annoying anyone, please ignore my whining. I am just having a rough go with money at schools so far even at a local T4 I would consider going to with money.

Stupid question but if the checker says admitted with full scholarship does that mean full tuition scholarship?

I thought it did but I didn't receive an email, phone call, or why msu essay so maybe it is something else

Still waiting on some options, but it might be a possibility.

LOL WTF. Still waiting for my packet to find out my case 100% for sure. I sweat this mail man just picks and chooses when he is going to deliver the mail. He never delivers anything on Mondays or Fridays.

Anyone that went complete 1/11 get an e-mail for why MSU or a decision yet?

if you are being considerded for a scholarship you go in review then you get the email.

Still a long road ahead for me here then. Thanks.

So I went complete 1/20... can anyone guesstimate when I'll go under review or anything?
