[rorystewart]

You mean my conservatively dressed adult, barricaded in a bathroom, defending herself from cookie monster tar? Yea, adcomms love it.

[CmonSD]

OMG LOL

Hello Sean,

As of now your file is complete and pending to be reviewed by the admissions committee. A decision may be rendered anytime from now until right before classes start.


Thank You,

Law School Admissions Office

Thanks for logging to check my status checker, guys.

This makes me sad......they don't even pretend to have a timeline in mind? Grrrrrrr

While at work yesterday I got a call from my wife regarding a package from San Diego financial aid office. Turns out it was just the San Diego FAFSA form.

Stupid San Diego.

Don't tease me.

Has anyone gotten a scholarship letter without turning in the FAFSA info? I was under the impression that they were separate Types of Financial Aid.

+1, really want to know if those with offers already submitted these forms. If I'm getting nada from USD, I'll withdraw right away.

I didn't submit financial aid forms yet (though I plan to), and received an $18,000 scholarship (evening honors scholarship or something like that) last night for the first year for the part-time program. I'm local so it was probably sent to me Wednesday.

Not super happy about the scholly being for 1 out of 4 years...but I'd love to keep working for the nonprofit I work for now. Will call the financial aid office to ask about scholarship renewal options (which are mentioned in the letter in a non-commital way).

Are you on LSN? If not do you mind posting your stats? I just received a big packet yesterday but all it was, was the FAFSA forms (I'm also applying PT). I'm assuming that the scholarship letters are separate from that packet.

[Borhas]

So I guess by scholarship information, they meant forms to fill out information that is already on my FAFSA... great

[hopefulincal]

I can confirm that you don't need to fill out FAFSA or send in the financial aid form in order to receive merit-based scholarship.

can you pm me your numbers if you don't mind?

[Zoomba200]

I kind of figured scholarships were independent of FAFSA, but I am just anxious to hear from USD on scholarships. It'd easily be my top choice (mainly because of location) if it were more affordable than my in-state options!

Yep. good.

$110k scholarship via mail today
Haven't filled out FAFSA, accepted back in Dec-ish

[evergirl23]

I also have Decision Rendered 1/29 - submitted 1/7 and went complete 1/22. I am in the LA area so hope to get my decision soon!

[Mosca]

I received a grant today based on my "expected eligibility for need-based assistance." I submitted my FAFSA but I haven't sent in the USD financial aid form yet. Does anyone know if you can receive both a USD Law School Grant and a merit scholarship, or is it either/or?

Stats are a bit fudged but around 3.85 GPA and 168 LSAT.

It does have stipulations though
