For people asking about scholarships, I asked when I got my acceptance call and the rep told me they are waiting until end of December before making decisions "to see what the rest of the applicants look like."

Thanks!

Got the call today!! Now that its mid-Jan...anyone have any information on scholly info?

They said February.

Whoops! I meant to say "END of January"

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone's acceptance letter came with a hand written "note" in the corner. Bizarre question but I couldn't figure out if it was my roommate or BU.

I had a chance to visit the law building this past weekend and loved it! Hopefully will return in March for ASW

I had a missed call / message today from an unknown number and was disappointed to find out it wasn't BU Anyone have an idea of how they determine the order in which they send out decisions? I have a similar completion date and stats to previous posters..

[janderson821]

Just received the acceptance call! I've been complete since September. I would love to be in Boston if I got the money

Anyone who applied for the Public Interest Scholarship get a ding/acceptance from BU yet? I'm wondering if that might be the hold-up... I'm otherwise an above median/75% applicant for them, but I've been holding at complete since the beginning of December.

I was accepted, and I applied for the scholarship.

Is it too early to negotiate my scholarship offer? If so, when is the appropriate starting time?

Did you get scholarship info already? If so, by email, mail?

I got it by mail in my original acceptance packet. But that's because I'm rolled from ED.

IMO way too early. They're still in the height of making decisions -- I'd hold out until (much) closer to deposit deadlines, and certainly not before the beginning of march...

[agent_hibachi]

Any action today? Been sitting complete since 11/30 and am itching for some admissions movement!

Okay, thanks! Sorry, I didn't mean to offend; I've never done anything like this before with financial aid, and my parents are putting some pressure on me about it. Which basically makes me clueless and antsy, a bad combo.

I've read that admissons officers get annoyed when people negotiate very early on (don't remember where but somewhere in the forums) so I'd wait especially since they haven't given out a bunch of their scholarships so they're still trying to figure a lot out

No problem! I'm a 0L too and first time applicant. I find a lot of this so confusing because law school admissions is so different from other types of admissions like undergrad and grad school. a lot of people try and give advice in my real life which is nice but without them knowing the law school process they're advice is usually bad

Hahaha, this is so true just in general.
