Re: IN AT TEXAS!!!!!!! CLASS OF 2013!!
I AM CONFUSED
I just got an email telling me that my financial aid eligibility had changed and when I logged in, my award had significantly decreased. SIGNIFICANTLY.
I still have my federal loans, but the gradplus is way down. I now have these nifty, "texas public education grants," but they do NOT make up for the difference at all.
I can't afford to pay the rest at Texas myself! I have like 4 dollars! What just happened?

Re: IN AT TEXAS!!!!!!! CLASS OF 2013!!
Maybe that was it. System emails go out at 4am, so maybe they send out the negotiation letters at that time as well. Are you negotiating up from $0?Pearalegal wrote:Not that I know of.

As a UT UG I had some scholarships awarded and it affected my grants and such, but I still think I ended up making $250 more from like $1500 in scholarship money.Pearalegal wrote:Yup.Jericwithers wrote: Maybe that was it.

I guess now I wait to figure out what happened tomorrow. I ran to check my credit score to see if I had somehow plummeted or something.Jericwithers wrote:As a UT UG I had some scholarships awarded and it affected my grants and such, but I still think I ended up making $250 more from like $1500 in scholarship money.Pearalegal wrote:Yup.Jericwithers wrote: Maybe that was it.

Re: IN AT TEXAS!!!!!!! CLASS OF 2013!!
I had no grant amounts beforehand, but my plus amount was much better. The other federal ones stayed the same. I received, "texas public education grants." I'm out of state, so that confuses me.Jericwithers wrote:

Re: IN AT TEXAS!!!!!!! CLASS OF 2013!!
So I just got the phone call today, IN at Texas for c/o 2013! This really stirs things up, considering I was dead sure about Vandy up until I got the call.
As a 168/3.75 OOS, and this late in the game, can I expect any money at all from Texas? Thanks for all your help.

They said they'd evaluate and send me a letter in like 10 days. I assumed they meant possible merit and financial aid, but come to think of it, the lady didn't mention anything about financial aid, so I guess that's encouraging.Jericwithers wrote:I think so.

Re: IN AT TEXAS!!!!!!! CLASS OF 2013!!
Check LSN for people with a 168 LSAT. Whatever offer they get so will you, you just have to meet the 3.6gpa floor. Bank on $7k a year on top of the in state tuition though. Makes me kind of mad that an out of state student with a 168 3.66 gpa gets the same money as I do, but if my alma mater doesn't want to entice me more than anyone out of state (or in state) then more power to the person getting a good deal.rad law wrote:Wow if I got that, that would be amazing.

Good call. Just took a look over there, and my numbers twin got $69k, which ends up being what you talked about, the in-state plus $21k. Looks like I gotta put together a last-minute visit.Jericwithers wrote: Check LSN for people with a 168 LSAT. Whatever offer they get so will you, you just have to meet the 3.6gpa floor.

I'm 167 3.8 and got 45k to vandy and 0 to Texas, even after sending a negotiation e-mail. Very disappointing, but perhaps you will fare better.rad law wrote:Wow if I got that, that would be amazing.
