Emailed them over the weekend and brought up a bigger scholarship at a higher ranked school, and they gave me an extra $10k a year. Incredibly impressed.

Damn. nice. Do you think they would negotiate more for more stringent stipulations? For instance they offered me $12k/year as long as I keep a C average. Do you think they'd raise it if I raise it to a B average or anything?

Emailed them over the weekend and brought up a bigger scholarship at a similarly ranked school, and they gave me an extra $10k a year. Incredibly impressed.

Glad to hear it; I was really sort of surprised when I saw the number--good to know they're playing ball.

They said in the email same stipulations apply.

Same here 11/11

[OklahomasOK]

UR as well. I think I may have a small shot here. Here's to breaking my ding-streak.

[snapdragon]

All antsy now.. getting in at W&M would be a complete game changer.

[rs2004]

wonder if us UR people will get a status change by the end of the day like the initial review folks earlier in this thread. i guess we'll find out either way.

[akili]

Oh snap, mine changed too. (11/5)

WHAT DOES IT MEEEEEANNN? Haha.

[Zarathustraspoke]

Same.

[Pink]

Ack, mine changed too! UR 11/22....

[Kinderby]

Still blank this morning, but when y'all started talking, I re-checked. UR today!

[nphominoid]

accepted via e-mail! online status changed to "congratulations." applied on 1/9/11. was not expecting to hear back til march so a very nice surprise!

[Mpeterson4]

Looks like they are maybe going to actually use the status checker instead of leaving it blank?

[akili]

Cue everyone F5ing the crap out of their status checker...

I'm mad that they started using it AFTER I drove myself bananas waiting to hear back... Oh well. GL guys! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[usernamer]

Mine switched to UR 11/18 as well.

Don't want to burst EVERYONE'S bubble, but I am slightly below lsat 25th and slightly below gpa 75th with better than good softs...so it probably just means they finally figured out how to use status checkers or we are all getting that ding/wl we've been waiting for.

[snapdragon]

I just hope they don't ding me I've made arrangements to visit the school in a few weeks, so it'd suck to be out the travel expenses.

I think I'll just keep F5ing the thread instead of the status checker. Y'all are more fun than a status checker.

+1. Slightly below 25th lsat and above 75th gpa.

Eh. I think they may have just figured out the status checker. Mine changed too. I'm slightly below median GPA but well above 75th lsat.

[Moral_Midgetry]

Mine just went to "File Under Review" today too. How has W&M been doing admits so far?

edit: Median LSAT, slightly below median GPA.

[Kinderby]

I'm like 70th LSAT and way below 25th GPA, Expecting a ding, but at least UR makes me a little more sane than completely blank.
