well they say they don't negotiate but they actually do. I know someone who successfully negotiated an extra $8,000 a year last cycle which brought them up to almost full tuition
Did that person mention other offers or just about how strongly they wanted to attend, despite financial concerns?
not sure, I'll e-mail them and get back to you
I appreciate it!

What does it say on your status checker if you received an offer in the mail. I saw some type of mailing may have been sent out in Feb.

Identical scholarship for me. Nearly identical stats.

Does Vanderbilt have a history of favoring splitters or reverse splitters with their scholarship offers?
Interested in this as well as. My lsat is unspectacular but my gpa is well above the 75th

I'm interested in if it shows up on your status checker that your scholarship was mailed out?

One of the professors is teaching a mock 1L class. The prep materials are here http://law.vanderbilt.edu/prospective-s ... /index.php

And yes I was planning on reading them/preparing.

Should we make a C/O 2018 thread and spare applicants the torture of hearing about schollys and ASW?

Got my scholarship offer in Tennessee yesterday. Definitely got low balled compared to other schools. Dean's Scholarship worth $15,000 a year. Stats- 166, 3.75. I'm disappointed because Vanderbilt was definitely my top choice. Anyone know how to negotiate offers at Vandy/ if it's even worth trying? Also, is there any hope of FASFA helping me out?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
