Maybe not. They really push that, best value school, thing pretty hard. It's possible they want to try and convince people of that at a lower scholarship amount before giving out more?austinlove wrote:Question - I got a full ride merit scholarship (over $150, 000) to a school in the top 10, but UT barely gave me $60,000 total. Why? Is that lack of interest by UT? Maybe what the other school liked UT didn’t? I doubt it’s Yp or I just wouldn’t have gotten in. It’s just weird especially given i am in state. Wondering if anyone hasn’t insight

About a week ago. For what it's worth, 169/4.0/non-URM. Also, I suspect they're giving significantly less money to in-state applicants.heyduchess wrote:When were you two admitted?JamesBlahDeBlah wrote:Tuition usually. It looks like I've got the same as you. Kind of disappointed given my numbers, but I don't know if myLSN info might be inflated comparing in-state/out-of-state candidates.InvisiblePineapple wrote:No email about scholarship info yet, but I just logged into my status checker and saw it listed at the bottom! $60,000 total, which adds up to a little under 2/3 of my in-state tuition. Is that considered a lot? When people talk about a '2/3 ride,' is that based on tuition, or total cost of attendance?

Received $0, after being told by the person that called me letting me know I was in told me “I should be getting a nice scholarship.” Very salty and not sure what to do.

Re: Texas Law Class of 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle)
I got an email letting me know that I have not been awarded scholarship money at this time. Unsure why they would tell me I’m getting a scholarship, then renege on that statement. I’m all for benefit of the doubt (and rightfully so people make honest mistakes), but if I’m trusting a school with my future I think being outright honest isn’t a bad policy.ltepen wrote:Hold out hope with me that more money will be awarded tomorrow?ATXStudent wrote:Received $0, after being told by the person that called me letting me know I was in told me “I should be getting a nice scholarship.” Very salty and not sure what to do.

Do you mind sharing your stats? I'm at medians and getting a little worried as UT was my top pick....
But not at full boat.

If nothing on the status checker, is it safe to assume nothing?

The scholarship committee and the admissions committee are separate entities. It’s a virtual certainty that the person you spoke to was speaking in good faith, although they probably should have made the subjectivity of the statement more clear, and I understand your frustration.ATXStudent wrote:I got an email letting me know that I have not been awarded scholarship money at this time.

Oh for sure, I know they didn’t have any malice in their intent. Just a little unprofessional is all.

It looks like the email also mentioned I'm being considered for a full tuition endowment. So that's exciting! Should have waited for the email :-p

Re: Texas Law Class of 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle)
I got 0 as well. I assume you're in-state like me? Speaking to admissions people about the scholarships, though, I got the sense that they see in-state kids as already receiving a 60k scholarship. It's honestly a fair outlook since UT is pretty much the only elite school that has an in-state tuition that's drastically lower than out-of-state. Still, I was hoping to at least get the 30k that the ED acceptances got..ATXStudent wrote:Received $0, after being told by the person that called me letting me know I was in told me “I should be getting a nice scholarship.” Very salty and not sure what to do.

I'm OOS and nothing posted yet for me. Do you mind sharing your stats? In-State is at least a nice discount

I got in one week ago and nothing at the bottom of status checker. Is it safe to assume I was admitted too recently for scholarship info yet? OOS, RD

It seems most, but not all, who got scholly notification yesterday were in state. Hopefully a second wave coming for OOS.

I don’t believe it’s quite that simple. However, I believe that UT gives quite a few admitted OOS students waivers that allow them to pay only in-state tuition.usersomethingname wrote:If I'm OOS, will I get In state tuition after my first year?

Scholarship email today, 8k/year + in-state tuition. Not all that disappointed but it doesn't compete with my Mich offer :/
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
