Do I have to apply for Law Scholars Merit Awards to demonstrate interest? I don't have any outstanding softs, there is nothing special about my application that might remotely qualify me for the awards. May I just select on the application that I am not going to apply for these awards. But I am definitely interested in regular merit-based awards.

rebexness, I thought the same thing. Could it be the message at the top that hints at being under review? Not sure if that's new or if I just haven't noticed it before.

Had my interview today, super relaxed and helpful. My alum is actual doing what I want to do and was super excited to share their career path with me. My love for Vandy just went up a ton.

I didn't apply for law scholars initially and got in with no issues. I think you'll be fine.

I basically did that and it wasn't a big deal. Still got in, still got the scholarship my numbers dictated.

It says on my status checker that they sent me a viewbook today. Not sure if that means anything but hopefully it is a good sign.

They send viewbooks to all applicants. I received mine about two or three weeks ago. I was excited to see a fat envelope, only to realize it was just a book :(

Congrats! Nice to see some movement on Vandy front.

Do you mind sharing your stats and when you applied/went complete?
