How does one learn about any scholarship offer? Is it supposed to be in the admittance packet??

Look on your Admitted Students site under the "mail and money" tab

[gbpackerbacker]

I did and it says nothing. Does that mean I am not getting anything?

Edit: I just got my admissions packet in the mail today. It was mailed 2/3.

Wait a week or two, then check again.

Haha should I be worried? I know everything is tiered there. I have a XXX, FWIW.

Hi everyone, longtime lurker, first-time poster here. I received my admissions packet on December 17. My stats are 169/3.67, so Michigan was a reach for me. However, it looks like people with similar stats have been offered $30,000 in scholarships. I have constantly been checking my Mail & Money page, but nothing has appeared related to financial aid. Did I miss the boat for scholarships? Money from Michigan would probably end my cycle.

I haven't done FAFSA yet either, does that effect what they put under the money tab?

They give you either need or merit, so it could.

The scholarship letter is usually generated a week later. You should be in line for $45000.

I would do crazy/illegal things for $45,000 from Michigan.

All you need is bout 169/3.8+ I think. If you get a 171 you get $67500.

Yeah. I don't have that.

No I'm pretty sure you need a 172/173+ for the $67,500. A lot of the $45,000's are 170+ with high GPA or 171+ with a 3.5+.

I implied 171(/3.8+) for the 67500. All I know is if I got 1 point extra on the LSAT I would have gotten the 67500. Check out the 171/3.9's.

Retake?

I need to dig through the past years' threads. If we can get extra $ by taking June LSAT, maybe we should. Nothing to lose and all to gain.

seems like michigan has given $ to people with my numbers before. Maybe me being Cuban coupled with luck will land me with a similar deal.

Thank you, r6!

anyone know scholarship situations for splitters with 25th percentile GPAs and above 75th percentile LSATs (like me)? for me as well, money from michigan would have a good chance at ending my cycle.

3.49/173 w/54 k. Another poster here got a Darrow with a 3.5/177. So definitely a good shot.

Yeah you should have a good shot. 173/3.65 here with $67,500.

thanks guys! that's comforting. do you think if i sent mich my fall grades (which they don't have as of yet) which bumps my gpa up slightly it would help? i was recently admitted but havent heard scholarship info yet.

I don't think it word hurt to send your new grades if they boost your LSDAS GPA. Maybe there's a way to subtly suggest that they should consider them when thinking about scholarship awards, but I can't suggest how you should go about that.

Also, I got $54k with 174/sub-3.6 GPA. Kinda pissed off I didn't get the $67.5k, but I know my GPA is ugly.

Not neccesarily true- I'm 3.8/172 and I only got 54

I think I was the one r6 was referring too with the above comment--$67.5K with a 171/3.9.
