Question: Are they calling from an SF area code? Or do they have a blocked number? Just so we can all be prepared.

They called at 3:55 and I live in SC. Maybe they're calling east coast first since it's getting past business hours here.martorem wrote:Congrats!

why would you ever consider Hastings over NU even with half scholarship? the difference is like night and dayryemanhattan wrote:steepair wrote:in via phone call from dean of admissions last night! i kinda only applied to hastings as a back up in case i decided i wanted to stay in san francisco (born and raised in the bay area, lived in SF proper for the past 7 years or so), but the more i look at the school, the more appealing it has become. i have heard they don't give much in the way of scholarship money, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed for something. have a couple of nice scholarships from some decent schools, but not sure if i want to relocate to the east coast yet. any 1Ls know if hastings will negotiate?
for what it's worth...164/3.63.
I spoke with Hastings admissions yesterday, as I'm contemplating throwing an app their way. He said, unsurprisingly, that he couldn't discuss my chances at a scholarship, as a matter of policy. He also said that they do give some scholarships but, at most, this amounts to half tuition. I would apply if I could get a fee waiver, but they won't give me one. Already safely in at Northwestern so I would only consider Hastings if I got a half-ride, but I'm an extreme splitter so I do not think it is likely. Probably just going to save the $80.
Complete conjecture: with your numbers, you might get a scholarship, but it wouldn't be close to the half-ride maximum.

Same admit story! Too bad I probably won't go since they offer very little merit aid, but it was a really cool phone call.
3.5/166, chances for scholly?

Accepted via phone call from Dean Canada today. Very cool personal touch as I could tell he really read through my file as he touched on a lot of the stuff I've been involved in and what I talked about in my personal statement. I'm very excited to go up for a visit at some point!

Congrats to everyone who got in!
Beachbum, when I went up last fall to look around, they were an amazing group. The student guided tour was great, and the professors were friendly and really knowledgeable. The students even stopped to talk with me, which was a very pleasant surprise in and of itself. I hope you get a chance to visit!

acceptance letter came today via snail mail. (160/3.9) normal sized envelope... kind of had me worried it was a rejection letter.

Interesting. I guess Hastings is sending out (at least) two different envelope types to keep us all on our toes. On Saturday they sent me a big envelope with "Congratulations!" printed on its outside cover.zx92027xz wrote:acceptance letter came today via snail mail.

Inside of the envelope they sent me was a folder with information on various deadlines and as to when Admitted Students Day is. Also, Dean Canada handsigned one of the letters in it. I liked that touch.

Anybody know if Hastings does any kind of travel stipend to go to ASD?

LSAC sent my CAS reports today. How long does it take for Hastings to send out an email for complete?

Has any LEOP applicant heard back yet? Do we hear back through Dean Canada, or just mail?
