Negotiation complete! They didn't offer me much, but they did offer me something, so I can't complain. Very happy with how quick the process was.

Was this based off your Northwestern scholarship or something else?

Gah damn cash site doesn't have my fasfa or scholarship info up =_=

My identity don't matter no more, I'm going to UT, schollies are done, and Baylor screwed me over in terms of privacy anyway!

add me and then I'll add you to the cool kids crew

But now, how ever are you going to become a burned-out TLS troll?

Don't you want to sit around for another three years (or more) and say things like:

"Retake, ED UVA"

"Cool" "Story" "Bro"

And become proficient in acronyms and jargon such as "TITCR" "TTTT" and "tl;dr"?

All the while spending WAY to much time on this sight when you could be making friends with the sun?

For you, all this has passed you by... what a shame.

I'm in it for the long haul.

Did anyone receive grant aid in their financial aid award? Or does it come later? I have a 0 EFC and no need based aid. Just my scholly and loans

Sorry if this has been covered but is the scholarship under Tuition Assistance.

Nothing in CASH.

This, in addition to hearing nothing from UCLA yet, and the upcoming seat deposit are making me think I will not have a chance to negotiate or do the matching program.




W&M doesn't count as a peer school, right?

they literally did mine in a day.

I got into Texas a month or so ago, but assumed I wasn't going there with them only offering me a $9.5K annual merit scholarship. Well, after coming home today from a long law school road trip (which DIDN'T include Texas), I came across a letter on my desk from Texas offering me an additional $48K NRTE scholarship. Blindsided, to say the least.

So you used W&M and they got back to you in a day and it worked?

oh sorry, let me rephrase: I was worried that I was running out of time for negotiations, but when I finally got it all in, they replied in literally 22 hours with a (small) increase.

William and Mary was a part of what I sent them, but I sent them everything just to be sure. I think it was more about WUSTL/GW/USC $$ that did it for me, but I also think if I had done it weeks ago i might have gotten more money out of them.

All I was trying to tell you was you could most likely push a response to the seat deposit until the last minute (PROBABLY) because their financial office is very quick.

All that being said, don't go to UCLA even if you get in.

I see, thanks.

I'm stressed because I only have the W&M offer in. I'm waiting to hear back from UCLA. And since I can only send in the request once I wanted to wait until I hear from UCLA. But I'll probably send in only the W&M offer tomorrow because I'm running out of time.

It's probably impossible to get anything from negotiations after sending in the seat deposit, isn't it?

UGH! I'm poor, I need more money, UT!

If I were you I would ask if paying the UT deposit precludes your ability to send a matching request. If not, you should pay the UT deposit on time and wait for UCLA (When did you apply?).

Obviously, it's your choice if you want to send the W&M money, but I don't think its going to do you ANY good by itself. (Unfortunately harsh reality).

[lilmissallyful]

Just sent in my deposit!

The deadline at Texas is April 15th, right?

Yes, I have thought about doing that. But then I get stuck on how the hell to word that request....

Phone Call. "I was just wondering if paying the first deposit precludes my ability to send a scholarship matching request."

[msblaw89]

Very hard decision, but I just withdrew. I hope that one of your gets my spot and scholarship money. Chose to withdraw mainly because of the "regionalness"...and I'm not sure I will be practicing in Texas

[eaper]

Finally got CASH fixed (two phone calls later). Chick I talked to was pretty rude, but I got some need based aid (not much, but some).

[ASAP]

What do we need to do after we pay a deposit?

I know we need face picture and letter of intent but that's done in the summer right?
