This may be a dumb question but I can't find the answer through "search forum." My question: is the seat deposit part of tuition? Since my letter says we require 2 "tuition" deposits before X date, I am assuming that it is. And if it is, wouldn't that mean that if you had a full=tuition scholarship at said school, you wouldn't be obligated to pay the deposits?

Lastly, if all of my assumptions are correct, how would one go about reserving a seat without paying?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the seat deposit is part of Tuition and fees. I would think that you'd still need to pay the deposit. They'll just go towards to other fees outside of not tuition. If your scholarship covers everything (Tuition and fees), you'll just get a refund.

Since my letter says we require 2 "tuition" deposits before X date, I am assuming that it is. And if it is, wouldn't that mean that if you had a full-tuition scholarship at said school, you wouldn't be obligated to pay the deposits?

Thanks in advance.

Seat deposits reduce your tuition by that much, yes.

I would assume for those with a full tuition scholarship that you are still required to pay the seat deposit, but then are refunded once the school year starts. I would contact the school to verify.

Ok word. Thanks, you're more than likely correct because I assume they need some type of financial confirmation instead of "yeah, I'll be there." I will verify tomorrow.

For all my full-tuition scholarships (UVA, Berkeley, Michigan, and Texas) you dont pay the deposit. You just sign the enrollment or scholarship sheet and it counts as both your commitment to the school and acceptance of the scholarship.

It was a matching scholarship, plus another scholarship which gave me full tuition my 1st year (the house party was legit though)

Wow!!

I think you mean your first t6 acceptance Congrats <3

Who else are you waiting to hear from?

Haha, thanks Only waiting on Harvard, Georgetown and UCLA

When did you apply to schools?

I was an absurdly late applicant, 1/30-2/1 for most schools, 2/7 or 2/8 for Columbia (I initially wasn't going to apply, only did because they sent me a late fee waiver LOL), a bit later for Yale and Vanderbilt.

And I very much hope to meet the rest of you guys if I wind up going...still crossing my fingers and holding out hope for Harvard though .

Is anyone going to the "Monday at Columbia" on the 18th or did anyone go to a previous one? I'm debating if its worth it to pick up another absence from my Research Methods class :-/

From what I've heard, Austin is an amazing city. I think it may be even more amazing if you are there to attend a t14 law school basically for free!
