just got my scholarship info in the mail and its 50K less than what NYU offered and 20K less than Chicago.... sad

Bummer, sorry to hear that. Do you live near NY?

So, NYU or Chicago for you? Or are you a YHS'er?

[lawdude31]

Called and they said mine was mailed

Good luck! When did you submit your app? I'm disappointed at mine.

As an ED acceptance, albeit with very strong LSAT and GPA, would I have any shot at any merit based financial aid?

Hey all, NYC resident here and got my fin aid decision in the mail this morning! So hopefully yours are on their way to you all soon!

[Leliana]

Work is torture right now. I'm almost certain my letter is only a 20 min subway ride away.

was the package any decent?

I may have to drop by home before heading back out again...

Can't complain too much, since it seems Butler-level. Here's the whole story.

Wow, congrats! I would deposit in a heartbeat if I received that offer.

Congrats. And that small difference in debt shouldn't stop you from choosing CLS. Can you PM/share some secrets of getting 90k?

[Leliana]

Got what I was expecting! Excited to move forward with negotation

Congrats!!! No letter for me yet, hoping it's because I'm in the Midwest (and it arrives tomorrow)

The scholarship process is such a black box.

[texcellence]

Submitted the last piece of my finaid app a week ago, received my letter today. Not in NYC fwiw

[skigirl3136]

ED admit here. Did anyone file for an exemption from including a parent's financial information with whom you don't have contact? I requested one around the beginning of February, heard back 7 weeks later that it was denied but I could appeal, appealed a week later, and now waiting to hear back again. Stressing out because I wonder if all of the scholarship money will have already been allocated by the time they get back to me...

Ugh. I submitted mine before the deadline and live in NYC. Still no letter. This snail mail stuff is killing me.

I submitted mine before the deadline and they haven't even reviewed my app yet. Don't know how they decide the order there. But anyway you may call them and ask about the progress. Your decision may not be made yet.

Now I'm all excited to get home and check my mail!! Hoping there is a letter waiting

[SpikeSeagull]

Any deferred students get their finaid package yet? I'm wondering if they'll even bother to update me...

[ottovon]

I'm having trouble getting through to the Financial Aid Office when I call. It rings for about 15 seconds, then has a dial-up like tone for 20 seconds, and then automatically ends at 36 or 37 seconds. I'm using Skype to call since I'm in Asia. Anyone else having a weird problem like this?

It must be skype. I just called 30 min ago from Canada using my google voice VOIP number and it went right through.

[Thelaw23]

I got all my stuff in by the deadline, but still no letter. Live in NYC.
I called and they said that my fin aid reward letter is complete and I'll be hearing soon, though.

Thanks, AF. Just got through using Viber. They said they've started sending out offers, will continue to do so on a rolling basis, and I'm still in the review process but they'll try to get my package to me as soon as possible. Not too helpful but I requested that they email it to me and they said they would.

[lnsl123]

Just called financial aid and I'm still in review. Perhaps that means I'm low on their priority list. I really hope it's worth this wait and snail mail communication.

[airwrecka]

nada nada enchilada from Columbia for me!

well, I like NYU more anyway so...have fun guys!
