Michigan Law School C/O 2019 Applicants (2015-16) Forum

Well, people from (the state of) Michigan do like turning proper names into possessives. "I went to Meijer's," and so forth.

Of course it's Meijer's... what's this Aeon person talking about? *googles*... OH MY GOD .

[threatlevelmidnight]

E-mailed them and they confirmed I wasn't offered any merit based aid Gonna wait and hear if I get any from some high ranked schools to show them and hope for some type of competing offer

Ditto....

Pretty sure there's zip for me too.

I'm realizing it's one thing to get into a good law school, it's another thing to get money to go there. Really love Michigan too...

You guys are amazing. I'm gonna miss posting with y'all once 1L year starts.

Ha-ha! I definitely grew up thinking it was Meijer's. Imagine my surprise when I actually looked at the sign one day.

Youngins, it was Meijer's Thrift back in the day, and then even though they officially re-logo'd Meijer Thrifty Acres (no ess), everyone kept on with calling it Meijer's Thrifty Acres. Michiganders didn't take sh!t from corporate rebranders, still don't. Acres we acquiesced, b/c they were genuine acres and we'd never seen anything like it.

Russ' messed us up too.

Very interesting. Learn something new every day.

On a related note, Busch's is actually Busch's.

Any deferred ED applicants seen any movement recently?

Just received an email that I didn't get the Darrow, which is a bummer, though I was offered a $150,000 merit scholarship instead.

The money is fairly comparable, though I'm not sure whether (or how much) not having the named scholarship should matter to me.

Hot damn! Well, I think congratulations are still in order!

hey all. Is the full (max) Darrow award full tuition plus a single $10k stipend, or is it full tuition plus a 10K stipend each year for three years?

Bump =\

You get 10k each year all three years! And it's not GPA contingent either!

I calculated the value (assuming you're avoiding interest) at roughly $220,000

worth more than my childhood home..no big.

I currently have Schrodinger's merit aid.
As long as I don't send an email asking, I don't have to know that I'm not getting any.

My childhood (4-22yrs old) home was 20k-40k

[zyxwvut2]

I got an email with my merit offer-- $15k a year. Initially I was feeling a little miffed but per the ABA 509 15k is actually the 50th percentile grant amount so that's something.

I only got accepted a few days ago, I'm guessing the quick turnaround is because I was accepted as a summer start.

+1. Just got an email from Michigan, got all giddy, annnnnd... nope, just informational.

[180kickflip]

Wow. Yeah. 10 stipend each year is crazy.

I can't even fathom some of these fancy undergrad tuition rates. Not to mention law school tuition.
