Is anyone thinking of Withdrawing soon?

Is anyone thinking of Withdrawing soon?

I think I'm going to just ride it out BUT I did sent out more apps in the hopes of having something concrete. I would like to know exactly where I'm going by summer.

just an update. today UGA sent out emails to all scholarship recipients requesting they fill out this quick form that either says i will NOT be attending uga or that i will/may be attending uga and to reserve my scholarship. i think its supposed to shift scholarship money around but it could impact the waitlsit too

[doubledawg3378]

Thanks for the update. You're right, in sure that'll immediately open some spots. When do you all have to submit it?

For you all that got off the Waitlist, were you called, emailed, notified on Status Checker? Just wondering

Waitlisted via status checker. Letter a few days later. No email.

this information will cause you to neurotically check the status checker but
first the status checker went from waitlist to the congrats thing, emailed the next day

I know. Not sure why I walked into that trap! Oh well. If I don't know by May 1st I think I'm withdrawing anyway. We'll see

2013 is up

Here are the BigLaw percentages (including clerks):

2013/2012

Fed Clerk - 8.9% / 7.4%
State Clerk - 4.7% / 6.1%
Firms 101-250 - 2.1% / 2.2%
Firms 251-500 - 1.7% / 3.1%
Firms 501+ - 5.5% / 11.4%

Total - 22.9% / 30.2%

Emory's employment stats dipped as well in 2013. Here they are:

Fed Clerk - 5.5% / 6.4%
State Clark - 2.7% / 3.4%
Firms 101-250 - 5.1% / 4.1%
Firms 251-500 - 5.1% / 3.8%
Firms 501+ - 10.6% / 14.7%

Total - 29% / 32.4%

that 501+ firm one for UGA i wonder what happened. it couldve been just the particular interest of the graduating class i suppose

The number of people in firm jobs of an unknown size shot up - from 1 in 2012 to 11 in 2013. That probably has a large impact.

Have any out of staters been granted scholarships larger than the in state equalizer plus $12,500? Please message me if you wouldn't mind sharing your offer and/or how you negotiated. Thanks!

I was during last year's cycle. I'd be glad to discuss for comparative purposes, as I was told by the admissions people last year that the negotiation approach is pretty standardized at UGA.

+1...Also offered that and trying to negotiate a higher scholarship. Please message me as well if you have any input/advice!

I was only offered $7,500 (plus in-state equalizer) and tried to negotiate with an Emory scholarship of $111,000 - so comparable tuition + fees. They rejected it because the cost of living in Atlanta versus Athens pushes the COA higher at Emory. The way they phrased it was slightly insulting: "Are you requesting an increase because the total amount of their award is larger than ours?"

But seriously - do they think I'd choose UGA over Emory because it's cheaper rent?

[fjgoffe]

Kind of an embarrassing question...but has anyone not received any scholarship information yet? I feel a little weird that I haven't heard anything.

Mine took about a month and a half from my admission to arrive in the mail.

That's ridiculous.
