Not sure - I was accepted in mid-October and have not yet heard about financial aid.
I think if you don't get a Dillard, it takes until February/March?
Not necessarily the case. I didn't get a Dillard but got a decent chunk of money with my acceptance letter
+1

when were you all accepted? really really early on in the cycle or a little later?

also, where in the package did it indicate your scholarship?

Accepted mid november. And it was just included on a letter in the packet they sent. I was casually reading through stuff, read the initial letter, feeling of relief that it was official, flipped to next page... *commence screaming celebration*

Congratulations! Hoping that scholarship movement started after I got my letter... that or I just blissfully skimmed over it. hahaha

I was accepted really really early in the cycle (less than a week after the application opened). They told me about the scholarship offer when they called and told me the news. Then there was an additional letter in my acceptance packet with more information about the scholarship.

Admissions office said yes, everyone who gets accepted has an interview. However, there's at least one person who was accepted without one but that was the first day of the cycle and apparently his stats are awesome. So I think he is an exception, and most everyone else needs an interview.

On the note of scholarships: when I visited, during the admissions panel Grace said most scholarships would be sent out like Jan/feb/march so I wouldn't worry about it yet

I've checked out the spreadsheet w/r/t complete and interview request dates and am getting a little concerned - I went complete 11/16 and still haven't gotten any correspondence from adcomm further than status checker info. My LSAT is at median and GPA is just below 25%.

I know interview requests obviously are sent later in the admissions cycle as applicants increase, and most people who've reported their info on the spreadsheet applied way earlier than me, but there are some people who went complete after I did and have already gotten interview requests (granted, their stats are higher and self-evaluated softs are stronger than mine). There's also no info on in- vs. out-of-state status on the spreadsheets, but do y'all have any insight on whether in-state applicants get a quicker turnaround on interview requests at this point in the cycle? Is my fear of an auto-ding justified or am I just more anxious than usual?

I've been complete since Nov 3rd and haven't heard anything either. I'm out-of-state.

Was the scholarship its own separate letter? Mine just had the whole "we typically send merit scholarships in late February etc etc" in the couple of sheets about seat deposits. Was accepted within a couple of days of apps opening so hoping I didn't miss out

Yup. I believe it was on a separate letter. Sorry, traveling for work so don't have my stuff near me

Just happened to check my status checker. Apparently I didn't flub the interview too poorly because I have been accepted!!! Super excited to have more than one option for next year!

Thanks everyone! There is no doubt that I'll have options. It's just easier to realize with the acceptances in hand.

Also, you still need to change your tar ffs
