Anyone have any advice about scholarship negotiation here? The question is whether to wait for more scholarships to come in for negotiation purposes, or use the one peer offer I have now. UVA offered me a scholarship, but Michigan offered me one which more than doubles it. Still waiting on scholarship info from Berkeley, and Penn, which hasn't been sent out yet, as well as Duke which I should be receiving any day now. Is it better to play the card I have now before scholarship funds dry out, or wait to see if I can get a better overall hand to bolster the case I should receive a match?

UVA's really my top choice, but not sure it's financially viable for me with what moneys on the table

Fret not, there is no such thing as running out of scholarship money

Is the consensus still that UVA lost late November applications? UR1 since 12/2. Sent a Why UVA a few weeks ago. I was thinking I'd get a WL or ding but nothing yet. The wait is killing me. UVA Y U no give me closure. You're still giving me hope.

I'm right there with you. Applied late Nov, UR since 12/9 and sent a Why UVA a couple weeks ago.

How do you guys spell UVA in your letters? I wrote University of Virginia School of Law for the first instance, and afterwards idk if I should keep typing the whole thing out or writing UVA or UVa? I'm so freaking confused, can anyone elucidate?

I spelled it out University of Virginia Law School in my first reference and then interchanged "Virginia" and "Virginia Law" subsequently, and I was admitted so I guess they're fine with that! Also they call themselves Virginia Law in the website so I don't think it'd be an issue.

I spelled it "d-u-k-e" the first time, but then switched to using "U of M" and "Berk" interchangeably, so it doesn't seem to matter.

Well UVA offered me about 25% of what Mich offered so looks like it's out for me :/

Just waitlisted via email after UR1 9/22, so exactly 5 months. UVA was my original first choice, so I'll send a LOCI, but not holding my breath.

Also WL today, UR early October. I'll probably just withdraw.

By the way, whats the deal with going ur2 here? The "what to expect" thread says nothing about it

Eta: And are they still doing interviews?

Also WL today, UR mid-Nov. Will be withdrawing. I don't think I could state any more strongly than my original Why how strongly UVA aligns with my goals and how interested I am in the school. My GPA was always going to be an issue, though.

good luck all!

WL an hour ago

Waitlisted just now, UR1 1/17, UR2 yesterday

Well obviously it will be impossible to match the money you got from Mich! How you could you ever turn that down?!

Yeah, use a fraction of that money to buy a coat and enjoy Michigan!

My ur2 buddy! Sorry to hear, but still nothing on my end

[crookedsmile]

WL as well. UR1 11/3, UR2 12/7

[JoshLyman13]

Do interview requests typically come before or after UR2?

[amberb94]

I was accepted last month and I still haven't received any scholarship information. Should I be expecting something soon?
