Did you guys get an email for the status checker or any sort of confirmation after you applied. I applied about a month ago and haven't really thought about it, but I never got any sort of email saying they got the app or giving me status checker info...

Yeah, I got it a couple days after I sent in my app. You might want to call them.

What's the culture on campus? Cooperative/Competitive?

Anybody heard about scholarships that filled out the application from the email that said we were supposed to hear by the end of January? I filled mine out in late December and haven't heard anything.

Seems like a call on Monday would be in order.

Yeah that's what I'm planning on. I took the lsat again today so i haven't really paying attention to my application stuff for the past couple weeks.

Got my scholarship offer via email last night. I called yesterday and they said I should hear by the end of the week. Sounds like most people who filled out the priority scholarship application should find out soon.

I was accepted in early December and got my scholarship award by email Monday night also

We have fun at FSU Law. You should join us.

I got my scholarship offer today. 20K the first year and 10K the second year. Has anyone else seen an offer that's only through 2 years? Even with the choice to become a resident, it seems strange to offer nothing the third year. Definitely something to think about.

Congrats on your scholly ... when were you admitted? Were you invited to apply for this scholarship or did they award it based on your application?

Thanks in advance.

#s? I just got accepted with 3.37 and 165 and was wondering what my chances for scholly were.

I was admitted January 11 I think, and they sent me an invite to apply for the scholarship January 17. Was not offered anything up front. Not sure what the deal is with the two year offer, but I'm kind of turned off by it.

Numbers are in my profile. With your numbers, I'd expect them to send you the application for sure.

[nationalphenom]

for any current students/alumni in this thread, how would you describe job prospects for someone out of state with virtually no ties to the area? (assuming i'm in the median or better)

Hey there! Sorry for such a delayed response but I haven't checked the thread for awhile. I attended UG there so obviously take whatever i say in that context (also, i did spend two years on a research project that had me spending a lot of time in the law school library). Anyways, the atmosphere overall is incredible. The professors are very accessible. I frequently dropped in on them during office hours and they were always glad to chat about any topic or question I brought them. One of these professors ended up inviting me to participate in a research project (mentioned above) and, after we got a large grant for the project, paid all of us researchers a legitimate salary to continue the research. The collaborative atmosphere seems to apply all over campus. For instance, when I was a junior I wanted to do an internship abroad and enroll in a university that FSU wasn't partnered with. In order to do so the faculty and administration from multiple colleges absolutely jumped through hoops to make it happen. Without their help I would have missed out on what became one of my best memories of UG.

My knowledge of the law school itself is from the perspective of an outsider, however students were more than willing to help me locate books and articles i needed for my research. They didnt seem extremely stressed and were able to crack jokes about whatever we happened to be studying at the time. Anyways, FSU has a great atmosphere that extends everywhere on campus. Its very relaxed and nobody is trying to sabotage anyone else to get ahead. If I could do one thing over in my life I honestly would go back to FSU all over again

One benefit of FSU and the law school in particular is that it in right near the Capitol and you can easily meet legislators, lobbyists, etc. I spent a year working for he governor while I was in UG and the law school is merely steps away from the Capitol. I know that my experience there helped me get the position I now hold. Its so easy to meet and get involved in govt in Tallahassee that for someone interested in these sorts of things I can't fathom attending another school where you could only network during your summers off. Anyways, that's my take as an FSU UG. Any questions please feel free to PM me
