Has anyone gotten in who HASN'T had an interview?

I'm also interested in this.

Yes. No interview, accepted on Saturday. Went complete mid-October.

lz06 also got in without an interview. She has good stats as well.

Is that award full tuition + stipend? That would be a sweet deal.

No, I actually think it varies and goes up to full tuition (without a stipend).

From what I read on the Merit Scholars site, all of them are full ride with 5,000 a year stipend. Normal merit scholarships outside the special scholars ones are in varying amounts.

I (happily) stand corrected.

I was going through the giant box o'stuff today, and I have to say I'm impressed with the book of faculty profiles. It saddened me to see that there wasn't a gender/sexuality scholar on the faculty, but it's nice to see a school focus on their faculty assets in the materials they send.

Agreed. I thought that was a really cool feature. I sort of wish other schools had sent me the faculty facebook. The student-authored "survival guide" type book was pretty informative too. Vandy wins for publications.

but do they send a t-shirt? I think schools should send a t-shirt.

I totally agree. I need more "______ Law" t-shirts to wear to the gym.

Agreed, but they'd all have to include a place on the app where you indicate your t-shirt size.

I'm willing to accept that trade off.

I have this aversion to wearing clothing items from a place I didn't attend. Especially hoodies. Those are only for the alma mater(s). T-shirts are a little different, I suppose.

I'm sure LSAC will argue that adding that question justifies an additional $3-4 per school processing fee.

No one should ever turn down a free t-shirt.

but to be fair, part of the processing fee will include facebook stalking you to double check the size.

Tend to agree with you. Did Emily Post ever address this?

Ha! "Pshhh... Size Small? Maybe in the 8th grade. Put her down for Husky."

I wish. That would really help me either (a) get over my indignation or (b) entrench myself in my anti-random-college-paraphernalia beliefs.

I use a Bama Law t-shirt from last year to do yard work. It's pretty dirty.

[bighead715]

well, their admissions office is extraordinarily nice, which reflects nicely on their school...

[poprox]

that's nice.

[somewhatwayward]

if i requested an interview, will they hold my app until the interview is complete?......and before anyone asks....171/3.9

It appears so, yes. I have similar numbers and requested an interview. I was complete (pending interview) 9/17 but didn't have my interview until last Friday. I have yet to receive a decision but people with lower numbers have been accepted.

argh, i suppose it would be weird to retract my request?
