Re: Scholarships at GULC?
For what its worth, I emailed GULC shortly after my acceptance and asked about the scholarship process. The lady (who was extremely friendly, by the way) expressed my interest to the scholarship committee and said I would hear from them shortly. They sent me the application a few days ago. I don't know if I received it because I asked or if they intended to send it to me anyway. But there's absolutely no harm in asking them for it. The worst they can do is say no and you'll be no worse off.MAD1984 wrote:Very interesting, thanks for the link.
Incidentally, the application is due on 2/13, so you might want to get that email off quick, if you intend to ask.

Re: Scholarships at GULC?
I did get a package from them, about a week after my acceptance letter. A pretty nice package featuring a lot of information on the various faculty members.MAD1984 wrote:Thank you everyone for the input. On a slightly unrelated note, did anyone receive an admitted student portfolio from GULC? I've gotten my admission note from Dean Cornblatt, some info on the international programs, and some emails, but never a packet.

Re: Scholarships at GULC?
I have no clue. I guess it was a little presumptuous of me to assume I would be invited to apply for scholarships, but I never heard a peep from the school in that regard. Then, after reading responses here, I emailed the admissions office, which quickly replied with a scholarship invitation and application.LilLindsey wrote:Congrats to those of you who got the email to apply for scholarships. What are your numbers? Also, does anyone know if the scholarship emails are sent out purely on numbers or on a broader basis?

I am very interested in GULC but I don't think I would be able to justify it without $$$. I will give it a go, but to echo some previous posters, if anyone wants to apply EMAIL NOW because the deadline is Feb. 13. Thankfully it's just a short essay, and you can email it in.

Re: Scholarships at GULC?
For the "please describe your current options and the amounts of any relevant merit scholarships offered," did you guys list schools where you have applications pending, or did you restrict your list to schools where you have gotten in?
Thankfully, I have a couple peer schools I can tell Georgetown that I got into. But since most of my T-14 applications are still pending, wouldn't it be to my advantage to let Georgetown know that I should have other options available?

I'm really frustrated as a married independent student though that for the need based stuff you have to provide parental info even though you are an independent student. I don't even know if I can get the info from my parents so if I don't get enough merit $$ Gulc might just be out for me.
Anyone know when we will hear back on merit schollys?

Re: Scholarships at GULC?
The PDF that GULC attached along with the scholarship application said that initial offers would be made on February 23rd (though they emphasize that that is a tentative date). But that's only for the batch that was due on the 14th. Each batch might have its own time line.Elms wrote:I got the invite without asking, 172, 3.63,Roo wrote:Im in the same boat - didn't get the scholarship invite until I asked for it.

Re: Scholarships at GULC?
are you talking about this email?summertimechi wrote:Did anyone else just get the GULC scholarship email explaining how the process will work? I didn't realize we'd have to accept so soon...I was hoping to at least be able to see if I could get off the Hold list at some schools. Sigh. Oh well, no biggie, I probably won't get one anyways.
I am writing to touch base with you regarding our ongoing scholarship consideration review. As you know, we are currently in the process of making some very difficult decisions on how to allocate our limited scholarship funding among an extremely talented group of admitted students. As we near the end of our initial selection process, if there are any changes or updates to your scholarship application, please let us know.
We will be making some initial scholarship offers on February 23rd and we’ll be in touch with all of you on that date. For those of you who receive an offer at this time, we will be notifying you via email and a follow-up letter in the mail which will explain the details of the scholarship award and acceptance process. As a reminder, if you accept a scholarship offer from Georgetown Law, you are required to withdraw all applications and decline all other offers from other law schools.
Some of you may be selected as Alternates. This means we will need to wait and see how many initial scholarship offers are accepted before we will know whether we can make additional offers. Since the acceptance deadline for the initial offers is April 1st, we expect to be able to give you an update on April 3rd.
Thank you again for your interest in Georgetown Law and we’ll be in touch soon.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
