where are you located? just curious to see when i should be expecting my envelope

i'm in philly
the letter is actually dated 3/4

hushu,

If you don't mind my asking, what are your LSAT and GPA? I am waiting for my packet, too.

Maybe when people start turning scholarships down to attend elsewhere some money will open up. That does happen.

I'm surprised they didn't give you money.

Thanks. Good luck to you, too. Hopefully some money will become available and they'll be sending you another letter within the next month or so.

Got my acceptance packet in the mail today too. No scholarship offered unfortunately

[nick637]

Do you think they gave them all out? Gosh, I hope not, but your numbers would seem to warrant a scholarship judging by LSN. Penn State is really my top choice, but I would go to a higher ranked school if I received no money from PSU. Other state schools offer in state tuition after a year, making them cheaper.

It looks like anyone around my numbers are getting in without scholarship. I was surprised, because like you, I saw people around my numbers who recieved at least some scholly money. PSU was my top choice but def not worth sticker.

So, do you think they gave them all out? It looks like there are people with your numbers who did receive money, judging by LSN. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe your numbers are just below the cutoff for the matrix they might be using. It does appear that there is a GPA LSAT combo that they use to hand them out.

I don't know if they gave them all out or not, but it sure looks that way

Well, I'm probably going to be in the same boat as you then. Hopefully more money will become available later.

[nick637]

Well Good luck to you, hopefully you fare better than i did!

Good luck to you too, Nick! Like I said, people might turn down scholarships and opt for other schools, thus opening the door.

For those going to an Open House...

[j32f]

I didn't get anything with a 3.7 and a 160. That takes Penn State out in my mind so I'll likely withdraw this week.

Hey guys! First time poster on this forum.

I was accepted to Penn State a couple of weeks ago and received my packet last week. They offered me 15k over three years.

Anybody going to the Open House at University Park on the 20th?

[traehekat]

Probably withdrawing soon with $60k, so for those still holding out for money or on the WL, there's a little extra hope for you.

See my post a few slots up...there is a thread for the Open House attendees.

[huskylives]

Haven't heard anything yet, but I applied early-to-mid-Feb. 165/4.0. If I don't get offered a whole lotta money they're off my list.

So...I just received an application fee waiver to apply to Penn State...I have been accepted and received a merit scholarship already. Can I ask for my application fee to be refunded?

+1 except they waived my fee back in December. Oh, and the email says "Last year more than a third of our incoming class were awarded merit scholarships. Your recent LSAT score suggests that you could be a competitive applicant here."

I didn't get any money. Yet.

Also already accepted, fee waived initially in November, and today received a fee waiver encouraging me to apply.

Shoddy work from PSU law admissions

[nick637]

thanks for the second fee waiver penn state.

[bstrunk]

Ask them for the $12 back from sending the LSAC report!
