Re: U Iowa 2010 App Cycle

Does Iowa give out full scholarships to people who applied later in the cycle, or are these pretty much all used up by the time the next round of decisions goes out?

If current scholarship offers are declined, I know those funds can be made available to new students.tate033 wrote:Does Iowa give out full scholarships to people who applied later in the cycle, or are these pretty much all used up by the time the next round of decisions goes out?
Actually I am fairly certain that Iowa expects most people with the full ride offer not to take it. So the funds would not necessarily be released.JOThompson wrote:If current scholarship offers are declined, I know those funds can be made available to new students.tate033 wrote:Does Iowa give out full scholarships to people who applied later in the cycle, or are these pretty much all used up by the time the next round of decisions goes out?

Did anyone do a Why Iowa statement? Their application seems to ask for a Why Iowa segment in the personal statement, but I would prefer not to mess with mine and just submit a Why Iowa statement. Right now, it's probably my second- or third-choice school. That may change with my February retake, but I would be thrilled to be in at Iowa.
And in response to someone else's question about merit-based fee waivers, I emailed their admissions office, and their criteria are either a 3.85 GPA or above, or a 165 LSAT or above.

I feel like this makes it look phony, though. Like you have your personal statement and you just tacked on a line or two at the last minute to placate the school. I probably could summarize it in two sentences, though. I really want to move back to the Midwest, and Iowa's a great school in the Midwest.sckon wrote: Just tailor the last few lines toward them.

I know that they will, because I have already been accepted and didn't even know about this. But JCougar should probably follow directions and do it anyways.sckon wrote:JCougar wrote:What's with the class rank business on question G6 of the application form?

They wont review your app until your undergrad sends a letter.
What was this call for?sckon wrote:Iowa is putting the full court press and gave me a call today. Anyone else?
Same, I never sent my class rank either, since I was going to wait until after graduation. Much to my surprise, they accepted me without it. However, this may be because of the particular school that CyLaw and I attended as undergrads (another big Iowa public school). Definitely go ahead and get the class rank to them, regardless.CyLaw wrote:I know that they will, because I have already been accepted and didn't even know about this.

You might also want to take a look at your transcripts (as transcribed by LSAC). They list a class rank on that. FWIW, I know that there've been discussions on here about whether that rank is actually your official class rank or just the rank of those from your university who've registered with LSAC, but from an adcomm standpoint, that's the number they're going to see when they open up your file regardless.bhblack wrote:Same, I never sent my class rank either, since I was going to wait until after graduation.
