Waitlisted today. Considering my stats (168, 3.3) To say I'm surprised would be an understatement. Perhaps it's just late in the cycle but I have been admitted to schools in the T20 and several between 20-30, so yeah.... frustrating. The only reason I would consider attending is that my entire family is in Colorado. Oh well, time for a change I suppose. Good luck to those still waiting and to those admitted.

My sentiments exactly...

Ugh. Well, there goes my hope. Guess I don't need to run to the mailbox every evening after work.

Don't count yourself out! I have had a very weird cycle and I think it's because I have a number of uncommon characteristics that some schools embrace while others shy away from. Do not use me as a measuring stick here... I think it comes down to the fact that they just didn't like me. Im sure others will get in with comparable/lower stats.

You were YP'd. No doubt about it.

So I figured out kind of late in the game that Colorado might be a really good fit for me and applied practically at the deadline. However, I REALLY want to go there now. Do you think sending an LOCI pre-decision might be beneficial? I just want to make sure they know that I'm genuinely interested and it's my top choice.

This was my exact situation and it worked for me--I got in.

This isn't meant to sound like bragging, or to be rude to mazzini, but I am in w/better #'s than those.... it's not always YP - it may or may not be, in his case, but perhaps they're admissions office didn't like his PS, or they know their stats and realize admitting him at this point won't really do much to raise their numbers... not trying to prove it's not YP, just bugs me when people claim it with certainty.

At any rate, best of luck to you mazzini, it seems you have some great offers and I'm sure you'll end up somewhere great. FWIW, I visited CU and didn't really like it.

Awesome. Sending in my LOCI.

Does anyone know how soon after the acceptance letter comes that we get scholarship/financial aid information? And how does it arrive?

I was accepted back in January and just received my financial aid "planning letter" this weekend with loan eligibility info.

maybe your spoon was too big?

KmissP: How long after you submitted your deposit did you get the email you referenced below?

My ID came in an email along with the link for CUConnect.

Perhaps you have to confirm before they give you this information? I deposited early, so the email was a combined "thank you for your $200" and "here's your student ID and the website".

Here's the contact for the person who handles this:

I emailed them an LOCI and heard back the next day. My file is in review and I should hear this week. I applied pretty much at the deadline too. Just sharing some info

so general consensus is that CU is open to LOCI? i've been worried it would be look upon disfavorably.

I was worried too, but I applied so close to the deadline that I figured it could only help. I wanted to make sure they knew that I really do want to attend!

What gives you this view? It's crazy, IMO.

Your letter might hurt you if it's rude, poorly constructed, or has grammar/spelling mistakes. But explaining your continued interest will only help you. Especially waitlisters--schools are much more likely to admit applicants they are certain or nearly certain will accept it offered.

mostly because law student wanna-be's are (in general) a bunch of completely neurotic people. i could see how AdComms wouldn't want to get a LOCI from every over-achieving, panicky applicant. please see any thread on this site for an example.
In short, if they didnt ask for it, its not a sure thing they give a shit or are open to your LOCI.

In short, the best way to decide is to call CU admissions and ask if they accept additions to your file (such as LOCIs)

This isn't an open question--they do. It worked for me.

Agreed.

Can I express how much hope this gives me? I have almost the exact same stats!! When did you submit/go complete?
