No you are mistaken.

They provide $300 for travel expenses. They provide the lodging free. I think when you register THROUGH WLU, they get you a room. So you don't have to pay diddly squat for lodging.

For travel, on the other hand, you pay first, and they reimburse you later...

Edited to mention that if you want a single room, they will take away $50 from your $300 for every night. I'd rather share..

I just googled "bars in Lexington, VA". Wow. Not too many.

cherry, do you have a lsn account or would you mind pming me your stats, if not that's cool too? I feel like were applying to a lot of the same schools and am just curious how your cycle is going. I'm hoping for W&L too, but have yet to even go UR..thanks!

Don't worry about not going under review. I went from application complete to decision rendered.

[politics]

Is anyone else still only complete? If so, what are your #'s?

Yikes, how few is "not too many?"

I will be at the March admitted students day as well.

Just got acceptance letter. It was sent on the 17th.

W&L acceptance letter makes me happy.

W&L tuition makes me cry.

My professor from UG is from there... it is literally a VERY SMALL town. You will not find much to do there AT ALL. Is there even ONE bar? You gotta make your own fun over there, lol.

WLU sounds like it would be the suburban life.... which is why I'm extremely hesitant actually going to it (and which is why I want to do ASW to see for myself). It's a whole 'nother thing after living in NYC most of my life, lol.

I hope this means that mine is an acceptance too.

I went to undergrad at W&L. Lexington really doesn't have a "bar scene" to speak of -- undergrad social schedule revolves around greek life and law students tend to go to house parties and social events put on by the law school (kegs on the law school lawn, occasional socials at Lexington restaurants, hotels, etc.)

There are a few bars -- the Palms and Macados are fairly unremarkable college bars, and the Southern Inn is more upscale and attached to a restaurant with Southern cuisine. Bars in the Sheridan Livery and Bistro on Main restaurants aren't frequented by undergrads or law students.

Hope this helps.

On your status checker does it say the decision was rendered 2/17 as well?

Yes. I live in central NC, so I think I got my letter relatively quickly.

Helps in terms of providing information. Not helpful in terms of me getting drunk.

Ditto, In from 2/17!

WI here.

But that tuition..... anyone know if schollies come with acceptances or later?

[MBZags]

You'll probably find out about scholarship money in 2-3 weeks.

[dlf9210]

Waitlisted from 2/15. Any advice on what to do now? Supplemental statements?

[SpaceDawg]

In!

cool cool

i'm excited, totally didn't expect to get in! i'm the only non-URM outlier, lol

[exitlane]

decision made 2/15. URM-Mexican,Lsat 157, GPA 3.75 double major Bus-Econ and Psych (completed entire psychology major in one year despite major disease-received special award for my scholarship) from UC. Good personal statement. Any hope?

[lawlaw2010]

My decision was mailed today. Since everyone got in this week, is it safe to assume that I am in the rejection batch?

Yes. Sorry.

[sarlis]

Waitlisted... but it was the most promising WL letter ever! haha, they have a WL student visit day and interviews, nice.

I think it's safe to assume that you should wait for the letter

Who knows what happened this week, I had DR earlier this week and I expect a rejection or possibly waitlist.

Time. Shall. Tell.
