Aren't the acceptances sent Fedex 2-Day? Or was that just for the earlier admits?luxurylawyer wrote:Here's to hoping for empty mailboxes for all of us the next few days.teiswei wrote:Whelp it's FedEx for acceptance so it wouldn't be in your mailbox anywaysluxurylawyer wrote:It should be an interesting couple of days.

If it was sent on a Friday, it might turn into 3-day shipping. Weekends are weird.RemyMarathe wrote:This also concerns me.letitloose wrote:Aren't the acceptances sent Fedex 2-Day? Or was that just for the earlier admits?

Of the people with 3/1 mail dates, people with similar stats got in last year, in every case. I think we have reason for hope.

I don't see any full rides on LSN. I guess that means those haven't been handed out yet - I wonder if people who already got offers are not out of the running for those.

Well they were something that had to be applied for separately and went to a different committee iirc. So it may just be independent from the regular schollys.danitt wrote:Like will they double back and add on to the award?Crowing wrote:I don't see any full rides on LSN.

I received 90k + the 5k thing. I was hoping for a bit more but it pretty much solidifies that I'll be going to Michigan in the fall (I received 75k there).

From combing through last year's thread, it seems like if you're a finalist for the full rides then you're invited to interview.

What are your numbers?wert3813 wrote:In with 110K (including the 5k thing)
Not sure I can justify giving Vandy 70K for law school.

Mine did too but I sent in my FAFSA/Needaccess at a time that it is unlikely they got it and looked at it enough to use need-base as a motive.jsmith201 wrote:WalkingPlato wrote:I got 75k!! Was thrilled but remembered one year of law school there costs 71K. This was merit based, FAFSA/Needaccess not included I think. Does anyone know how much grants or other need-based fin aid Vandy likes to give (not talkin about loans)?
My letter said "In determining your award, the Scholarship Committee considered both merit and financial need"

Anybody not gotten their scholarship notice yet? I still haven't, and I'm in TN.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
