My friend turned down the Toll today (offered yesterday) so hopefully good news for someone will come soon!

Thanks for the info! Did any interviewees get a ding in some form yet?

Thanks for the news. Part of me thinks they've offered to the initial class and we are just on hold until everyone confirms

The sample on TLS will be very small.

Didn't wanna be the first to post about it, but I received and turned down an offer very early last week (they require a 48 hour turnaround). So I imagine they may be rolling out offers and making secondary offers to account for the people who turned them down?

has anyone successfully negotiated?

I believe we are all waiting for the new wave of reconsiderations. Basically they waited for people to pull out to see where they stand so they can up scholarships accordingly. I believe either today or tomorrow we will hear back from them.

Think someone upthread mentioned that a scholarship deadline was 4/15 for some folks, so I also wouldn't be surprised if some folks heard on reconsiderations early next week as well

I guess it's impossible for us to know if anyone has accepted the Toll yet?

Yea it's pretty impossible unless they post here. There were 51 candidates on the doodle which is a small sample. They probably sent out 8 offers so far including the two that turned it down. So they will waterfall out until they have a class :/

Yeah I have that deadline for the wilson scholarship so I guess ill need to call them to ask for an extension? I was told we would hear something by this week so who knows what the day holds.

I was just accepted to Penn 4/1 but was still given the opportunity to apply for the Toll. I inquired about timing and was told they are reviewing my file for it now...not sure what that means in relation to all of this but I'm guessing I really don't have a shot at this point since I didn't even participate in the first wave of interviews.

Is anyone else still waiting on an initial aid offer? There's a slim chance that I'll end up at Penn, but absolutely no chance without any money. Too many good/better offers.

You're not alone..

I emailed my adcomm contact asking if I could expect to receive an offer in the near future. They suggested I send competing offers to the scholarship committee to have my file considered.

I did that more than a week ago, and sent a follow up email to no avail

Am hoping we hear today or Monday..

Today is the deadline for accepting/turning down the Wilson I was offered. I tried unsuccessfully to ask for a longer deadline, which is probably good news for folks waiting to hear about aid in that they're moving fast. I'm declining and freeing up about $110 over 3 years, and hope some of that goes your way!

[JusPassItToWill]

Just officially enrolled! Looking forward to meeting you guys in the fall!

Was on a flight talking to an individual about law schools and mentioned I am highly considering attending Penn over some other schools. Their response - "It seems you always hear a lot about Harvard, Yale, and Cornell. I'm not sure people really talk much about Penn State, but I guess if it makes you happy then you should definitely go there."

Anyone heard about negotiation follow-ups going out?

So true! at ASW Ja Rule called the school Penn State and everyone was so pissed. But for all its worth the people who have jobs to offer are well aware of the difference

I haven't

Do you guys think Aug 22 is too late to move into Philly? I'm pretty sure orientation/classes start on the 31st, not sure if that's crunching too much :/
