I did something silly today. I sent in my other scholarship offers to UT to see if they would offer me anything... I haven't even received my welcome packet in the mail.

They gave me $15,000 total.

What has seemed to be the best tactic of the following for negotiating with UT:

*About 2/3 of the amount UT gave from T10
*About 8/9 of the amount UT gave from T14
*Slightly better offer from UCLA/USC/Vandy

Help would be appreciated!

Who gave you $15k? UT or another school (if UT was this initial or after you sent in the other offers)?

Anyone else sitting in the airport waiting to fly to Austin for ASW?

Was going to ASW until I realized it wasn't actually on a weekend...anyone else doing the mini version on the 5th? Also, if anyone wants recommendations on good restaurants and stuff in Austin besides 6th Street, pm me and I can hook you up.

TLSing from ASW: acceptable? Unacceptable? Either way, I'm doing it!

UT gave me $15,000 after I sent in my other best offers.

WL earlier today.

Haven't read this thread; what is the consensus on attending UT with zero Texas ties and a desire to practice in CA?

bad idea unless you have CA ties, and even then would be better off at USC/UCLA.

What's up with the alarm? I can hear it from across the street! Did BigZuck burn the place down when they refused to up his scholly at his finaid meeting?

Nah, just watching March Madness before heading over to the Women in Law thing (assuming the alarm goes off). Y'all on the segway tour?

I really want to go to UT but it's so discouraging to hear that it's not worth it without ties. I have no ties there but really want go and now I'm thinking of not.

Note that we said it's a bad idea if you have a desire to practice in CALIFORNIA! AFAIK (any actual law students reading please correct me if I am wrong), if you want to work in TX, going to UT is a tie, esp if you are from a state w/out a big home legal market.
