Dear Admitted Student,

In the event that you have been accepted to Cornell Law School, and wish to be considered for Financial Aid, you must submit the Cornell Law School Financial Aid Information Sheet. If you have already submitted this form, please disregard this notice; if you have yet to submit it, however, I would ask that you please do so at your earliest convenience. Please disregard the printed March 15th deadline, as we continue to review files.

Thanks very much!
i didn't get this email. interesting.

I got this, too, and received my scholarship letter on Saturday. I think everyone will get this email?

Cornell offered me a big, fat nothing. Looks like I'm heading to Vandy next year. I like Cornell more, but not $100k + more.

Did they notify you of this??

They sent me the snail mail letter and it said "Unfortunately we are unable to offer you a law school scholarship, but here are all of the loans you can take!" It's not so much that they are unable to offer me $, it's that they don't WANT to.

Try negotiating with Vandy's offer.

I will definitely do that, but I don't think they consider Vandy to be on their "level."

Nope they do not.

Are you guys getting these $$$ offers via email or snail mail?

Serett · Post by **Serett** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:40 pm

Still in Wisconsin, still nothing yet

In fairness, I think USPS is still doing seasonal deliveries on Tauntauns up here.

I called to make sure they received my forms.

Oh my gosh I wish I had read this thread this morning - just sent an email soliciting a scholarship this morning. I am going to feel really stupid if there is a scholarship waiting for me in my mailbox!

What was the turnaround between sending the forms and receiving an aid offer?

Sent mine in early March and haven't heard back yet. People who sent them in February seem to be getting info around now.

Thanks! I hope I get it before my first deposit deadline at another school.
