Congrats! I love that W&M has absurdly fast turnarounds (for some).

I absolutely cackled at this, because yeah...

Look I can't complain, because I got in after about a week, but it's kind of silly that there are people with better numbers than me on here who have been waiting for months.

Anyone know if W&M offers travel stipends for ASD?

Anyone know if W&M offers travel stipends for ASD?

I was wondering the same thing, but I didn't see any sort of mention about it in the admitted students packet. My guess would be that it'd be advertised in their acceptance packet if that was an option.

Granted, I am really surprised they don't, because they seem to be very liberal with scholarship amounts and the likes. So why not add a couple hundred to get students out there?

Thanks. Considering asking the admissions office. I'll let you know if I do, and what they say.

In via email this morning! Sent 1/31, complete 2/4, accepted today. So excited! This is my first law school acceptance.

Below median LSAT, above median GPA.

Maybe true.

Thanks so much- it's one of my top choices! I didn't get any scholarship info in the email, just the: "Dear Ms. :

Congratulations! You have been admitted to William & Mary Law School for the term beginning in August, 2013. We are excited with our decision to admit you and hope that you share our excitement and choose to enroll at the nation’s oldest law school.

Information has been sent to you. Please feel free to view the Admitted Student Website - visit..."

It says that my letter was mailed 2/7, but I probably won't get it until early next week because of the winter storm. I'm hoping that includes some scholarship money, but I'm definitely not expecting it! W&M, Wake, BC and BU are my top choices-- have had zero movement on BC or BU, though. I'll be heading to the admitted students day on March 22/23rd to see W&M!

Scholarship info gets sent with mailed admit packet.

Why the doubt? Everyone here I guess is on the honor system but this call out seems a little weird...

See the Wake Forest thread for more info...

Got it, understood. Well to delizabeth either Congrats on an epic day or screw you for toying with people. Lmao, if she's trolling it is very well done, if not, I am jealous, not going to lie.

Got a 23k a year total offer in the mail today. Very generous considering I'm not over their medians by much. I wouldn't have even made the trip down to W&M without it; now I'll definitely at least give it a serious look. If nothing else, it's a very, very useful negotiating chip.

In today via status checker. Had been stuck at complete/under review since 11/6. Just had a visit to the school yesterday, which included a sit-down with one of the assistant deans for admissions. Lesson: If you're stuck in purgatory and can make it there for a visit, you may help your cause.

Thanks. I've had a surprisingly strong cycle given my numbers. I do have a few years of work experience and a GPA addendum, which hasn't hurt. I've got a lot of good options to consider.

Just withdrew my offer of acceptance. Best of luck to all those still waiting

[nba101790]

JW, has anyone had any success negotiating scholarships with W&M?

[kckool7]

In today via e-mail! Woot Woot! Very fast turnaround for me, went complete exactly a week ago.

[ced0007]

For those who are stuck "in review," is it a bad idea to send in an email or letter expressing your interest? Or is that just a bad idea? I would love to be able to visit, but being in Alabama that just doesn't seem realistic right now.

[kckool7]

Solid scholarship offer arrived today with the admissions packet. That'll probably be enough for me to check out ASW; it definitely jumped up my list today!
