Who all is waiting on the part-time program? And/or who is already accepted to the part-time program and attending in the fall at USD?

I will be attending PT in fall. I think BruinsFan as well, but haven't heard about others.

I would gladly give up my USD seat if it means doing so would bump me straight out of Davis's cursed wait-list and into the admit pile!

My apologies if this has been asked and answered already but does USD give scholarships to people accepted off the waitlist? Thanks!

[CmonSD]

I got that confirmation email as well.......

[MURPH]

According to LSN, they gave one scholarship last year and one the year before, none in the year before that. They have given none this year. LSN is self selected responses so you don't know for sure how many they give but it is fair to say "Yes, they give scholarships off of the waitlists." Good Luck.

Also the folks who got the two scholarships didn't have outstanding numbers so it may be need based or something.

I got in off the waitlist and wrote an appeal for a scholarship. I received a $15,000 a year scholarship and I had to remain in the top 50% of my class.

Congrats! You do have good numbers for them though.

If anyone wants to see an example of a scholarship appeal letter, feel free to PM me!

Awesomeness. Got a reply to my financial aid appeal letter. Upgraded from $23k to $22k/year for a grand total of $66k with no strings attached.

Already sent in my FAFSA and Institutional Aid form, but the assis. dean said they're required. I'm guessing he just meant those two are needed to be eligible. This isn't looking so bad at all!

Nice. Sent a request Sunday night. I got an email this morning saying my scholarship amount was "appropriate."

Not appropriate enough to attend! Sionara, SD.

$22k/no stips going back into the pot very soon

Since Saturday.

[BruinsFan]

It looks like they are replying quickly to requests for reconsideration.

Where did everyone send their requests? lawadmissions@sandiego.edu?

[quickquestionthanks]

I sent mine to lawaid@sandiego.edu

response was from gofuckyourself@sandiego.edu, sorry, I mean jdinfo@sandiego.edu

[rorystewart]

These are grants you guys are talking about? So they’re different from scholarships?

How do you qualify? Is it all based off of the EFC? But it can’t be if your FAFSA isn’t required…

[Oakley84]

I think it's time to let some more people in off the waitlist! Probably after June 1st? I'm guessing.

[uwb09]

lame sauce, I got offered nothing, petitioned for something, got offered nothing again

These are officially called grants, although they referred to it as a "scholarship amount" in my response. Basically, if you have a bunch of money, you don't get them. That's the only difference. But since pretty much everybody needs them, they're essentially scholarships.

+1000 I can't imagine PT is full already.
