I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading from last year's thread that they use the open house as a way to get to know you beyond your application and numbers, and then based off that, they decide who to give additional money to. I know last year tchadwick received a study abroad award based off the Scholar's Open House (http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... &start=350 - little more than half way down), but I don't know if they're doing awards other than the Fletcher scholarship.slowmo2385 wrote:Would I be missing out if I went to a later ASD rather than the Scholar's Open House? It would be far more convenient for me to go later but I don't want to miss the boat on the extra money/study abroad discussed earlier in the thread

I don't know to be honest. I think I was the one who posted about the paid study abroad, but I don't know if they were given them at Scholars Open House, just that they had them. Call and ask if you would be missing out if you waited to attend.
Edit: Looked through last years thread and some people did indeed get these. One guy got a study abroad from scholars open house (it was awarded weeks later but he said it came from the scholars open house competition?) and another one guy got a 3/4 scholarship after visiting (not sure if this was Scholars open or ASD).

Re: Wake Forest 2010
Where is the info for ASDs?
Wake never gave me a login for status checker even after i emailed them, although the scholly more than makes up for that
is there an admitted students site?

That has the dates for the ASD's. Your scholarship letter has the dates for the Scholar's Open House.

Re: Wake Forest 2010
I really wish I could go to the Scholars Open House, but I'm in Mexico I'm very pleased with the scholarship offer I received from Wake, but just a bit more would certainly convince me to attend. Maybe I'll shoot them an email and see if there's anything I can do to increase my scholarship.

Re: Wake Forest 2010
does anyone know if there is a Yelp! page or something similar for Wake Law?
Lewis & Clark, for instance, has one... and although there is only one post, its really informative and helpful.
Hopefully the answer is yes, it would really great tool to get some insight

Open House Competition? And what exactly would that entail?

Re: Wake Forest 2010
Any one have any idea or guess when scholarships come out for second wave of applicants?
I want to know if I got a scholarship sooo bad... for me this is almost as bad as waiting for LSAT score.

Re: Wake Forest 2010
The first round of acceptances received scholarship notification about 3 weeks after we were accepted. So, my guess is that they'll try to notify you within a few weeks of your acceptance if you've received a scholarship. But that is just a guess and I have nothing to support that. Hopefully it won't be too long for you.Nicholasnickynic wrote:Any one have any idea or guess when scholarships come out for second wave of applicants?

Me too (3.0x/169) admitted 12/18 - I'm still hoping, but not ready to make any calls just yet. If another round of scholarships come out to students accepted later I might give Ms. Nutt a call just to see.jbrowning82 wrote:I was admitted on 12/18 also but I'm still on Congratulations!

Re: Wake Forest 2010
I would call, you don't want to wait so long that the money is already budgeted out. Or maybe they are considered you for a full scholly, I don't think they have handed any of those out yet.missvik218 wrote:Me too (3.0x/169) admitted 12/18 - I'm still hoping, but not ready to make any calls just yet.

Re: Wake Forest 2010
164/3.4 here and got $18k as well
18k means another 18k of out-of-pocket. comparing that to $5k (or less) out of pocket at USC or UGA and Wake doesn't content IMO...

Re: Wake Forest 2010
That was just their initial offer. You may get one of the full rides they have yet to hand out, they haven't done need based, and if you fall below a certain rank you still get to keep a portion of your scholly. But for a 15k difference I would probably choose one of the other schools you mentioned.
Hopefully UGA sends out their scholarship offers soon.
