Santa Clara University c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle) Forum

For those admitted, how did the admissions committee initially inform you of your decision? IE status check, snail mail, email, etc.?

FWIW I emailed an admissions officer about two or three weeks ago she they informed me that they hope to deliver the bulk or their decision by the end of March.

EDIT: I'm in the 'in committee' group from 3/4

i had a phone call

Just withdrew. Hope the Emery Scholarship goes to someone else. $20,500 a year. Hopefully with less tough stips tho. Mine were top quarter of the class.

My status changed today to "Hold for 2nd review", this happen to anyone else?

[GatorNation13]

Complete: 2/19
Status Date Updated: 3/28
Current Status: Admitted
Decision Letter Sent: 3/28

Took about 5 hours to update from "In Committee" and "Decision Letter Sent" to "Admitted". The deposit amounts were 0 for a while and then updated with first deposit ($200) due on My 1st.

[patriots2487]

Last update for me was 2/6 when I was "in committee," but that was before my most recent LSAT score. I emailed the dean a few days ago, and he said they were "very close" to finishing the applications they have received.

I find it weird that SCU hasn't updated my status to complete after the new LSAT when every other school (aside from USD, which just gave me a decision) did update the status checker.

The wait is killing me.

[crossingfingers]

Withdrew yesterday. Good luck to those still waiting!

[JD2013PhD]

Admitted on 3/28, saw the status changed online but don't know if they will give me $$$ to attend

[whsy]

withdrawing, the top 25% stipulation is ridiculous, and their administration really isn't responsive at all... hope the 15k/yr Emery scholarship goes to someone else here on TLS

Has anyone heard anything on scholarship negotiations?

Has anyone heard anything on scholarship negotiations?

I tried, it's not so much a negotiation as it is an appeal. You have to submit the written appeal form explaining on what grounds you feel you should be awarded more $, and attach and send in your other offers as well.

They emailed me back stating that they probably wouldn't be able to get back to me in time for the 4/1 deadline, and they didn't...

I didn't know that. In my case, they simply did not reply. I called about a week ago and they said they would not bump scholarships until after the deadline. I remain interested but I did not deposit (or withdraw). We'll see if they ever get back to me, I guess.

Strange, there was a standard form that they emailed me... I emailed the fin aid office. And I thought the deadline is 4/1?

[alawstudentsometime]

The deadline was 4/1 but I would not attend unless they increased my scholarship. I figure if they get desperate they might get back to me.

I emailed the Dean of Admissions (rather, Enrollment Management). FinAid office said it was ultimately his decision.

[pada2000]

Any movement? Or is Santa Clara one of those schools that never inform you of your rejection?

I got in of the waitlist view email like 2 days ago! It was weird I just got a login code. Then today i got the envelope in the mail.

[lovelaw1]

Would it be worthwhile to email/call the school? This is the only school I have yet to hear from and it's one of the first I applied to.

[patriots2487]

I just called admissions, and they said their tentative date to have all decisions out is by the end of April.

Definitely not what I wanted to hear.

What the...last week they said they would all be out by Apr 15th. What is going on over there?? Seems to me that they are holding a bunch of applications w/out responding till they to see what their first deposits are like...Maybe they will respond once they see how first deposits go? Are they not utilizing a waitlist?

[onionskin]

No someone above just got in off the WL.

I at least expect to have been WL'd... =/

First-time poster after being a long-time lurker. Inquired about my application about a week ago. They said I should expect my decision to be out in a couple of weeks.

Looks like a lot of admits have withdrawn or are in the process of withdrawing according LSN, so let's hope we see some movement on Tuesday.

[stickyboo]

Just got admitted last week. Haven't received anything in the mail yet. Doubt I'll be getting any $$$ but still pretty happy to get in. Hope to see you all in the fall!

[onionskin]

Still nothing except another one of Brian Winkle's newsletters.
