Has anyone heard from IU in the last few days? If so, how did you hear (snail mail, e-mail, or call) and what was the decision?

[Spoonmanners]

I found the admissions staff friendly and helpful. I applied in January and got the 10 days notice last week. I asked them up front whether all the spots were filled and they told me they were still accepting people. I hope I hear some good news tomorrow........

I was going to wish you good luck before I checked out your numbers. You really shouldn't need any luck.

Cycle over - rejection today via snail mail. Meh.

Withdrew. Can't justify attending without any money. Don't see how anyone could being OOS.
How does IU justify that amount for OOS tuition?

No clue, especially since I don't think you can gain residency for your second or third year.

It is inline with most schools, especially of surrounding quality. Make sure you have the most up to date numbers, as everyone seems to bump their tuition up every year. For instance, check out CA. I'm not sure you can go to law school in that state without paying $45K a year. I think they are expecting tuition to be upward of $50K next year too.

But yeah, residency sucks.

CA has some of the easiest residency requirements in the country though, don't they?

Actually, I'm not sure. I just remember the places I was looking at were almost impossible to get residency, and IU was either very close or cheaper than others. Maybe you are looking at different places than i was, but tuition at just about all law schools will be over $40K a year.

Edit: Actually, California likely does, since Saenz v. Roe. Indiana has just not had a case...

I was accepted by email on Wednesday!

[utswdukie80]

Accepted via email yesterday! Very excited. If they can up their scholly offer a little more I'm in!

Well the ten days has past and I still have yet to hear from Indiana..... It's sad because Indiana is my first choice (for personal reasons), and would accept regardless of scholarship money. I also have already turned down other offers from schools.

Okay, I am facing a dilemma--any opinions/advice welcome. At the moment, I just cannot afford to take out loans to pay for school. I am hoping to defer for a year to save up. As it is now, my husband works in a town in southern Indiana and he commutes from the other side of the Ohio River. If we move to the IN side and live there for 12 months+ before classes begin in 2011 would I be eligible for in-state tuition? By my interpretation, yes. But I know they're tough at IU about these things. I plan on asking them directly but I would like to know somewhat how the conversation will go before I begin it. If I could qualify as a resident after a year, it would make school even more affordable. The deferred year would be very worthwhile. Can anyone shed any more light?

I believe that is the case. I think you need to live in IN for at least 12 months and the primary reason for moving there must not be to attend school.
But definitely check up on it.

I just graduated from college less than an hour ago - now it's time for law school! Bring it on, IU!

All right, good good. I will definitely be talking to IU to be sure.

Congrats! I just got my master's today, too. WOO!

When did you apply? Can't believe people are still waiting.

Congrats, man! I have my last final tomorrow morning, which upon completion I will be "college educated," and my graduation is this Sunday. I'm excited to just be done and turn my attention to law school/enjoying the summer.

Campus here in Champaign-Urbana has been looking particularly nice the last few weeks - you are going to love it here.

Ooh, boy. I do love the campus. Iowa, however, has been rainy and cold lately. Swap you states!

We were supposed to have this big thunderstorm today - never happened. I just hope it's nice for graduation.

[danquayle]

This is ridiculous. I almost fill like calling admissions myself and being like, what the hell is up with you all? You're losing good candidates left and right.

[ChalkyTrouble]

Just out of curiosity, what were some of your allz biggest reasons for choosing Indy/making it your first choice?
