Withdrew yesterday or two days ago, after I'd dropped a deposit. good luck to the wait list.

I'm a current IU-Indy 1L

I can take some more (realistic) questions if anybody has any.

Hi Chitown,

Any recommendations on laptops for class? I am leaning towards a netbook for convenience, but didn't know if it was enough.

Thanks!

Hi! I use a full size (15") laptop and find it to be great. Just get a backpack with a sleeve and you're good to go. The tradeoff for a netbook isnt' worth it -- everybody who uses them in class is always complaining that the screen is so small it's useless. Really, I don't find the normal ones to be cumbersome.

I also would strongly urge you to use a Windows based computer, since we use a lot of software that doesn't play with Mac

Just got a $40,000 scholarship last night. I was accepted 2 months ago. That means the money that was left over from the seat deposits is going out. Good luck everyone.

No, I applied full time. 13k a year. 3.1 to renew.

Congrats! Despite your snarky comment to me about visiting the school, I am happy for you. I do not see your numbers listed in your profile, so what are they?

Thanks Chi! That helps a lot. One more question if you don't mind? Do you feel you were able to go on vacation during fall break? I didn't know if the project load would be to heavy to take a break during that time period. But on the other hand, I might need it Thanks again for your help!

I originally was accepted without a scholarship offer. I sent the admissions office copies of all of my offers from other schools and explained that they were the only school I had not received a scholarship from and that I could not attend without money. I didn't hear back for months but then finally was offered 16k a year. I explained to them that I was thrilled with their offer but that I had still received better offers from other institutions and they then increased me to 22k a year. I will most likely be attending in the fall

Out of curiosity, how long were you guys "IN REVIEW" before you heard anything (good or bad)? I am still "FILE COMPLETE." I am just curious.

Thanks

[colts18]

I was "File Complete" on March 9th. I went "In Review" on April 5th (with it updating the date on the 7th and 9th) and was accepted on the 14th.

Received email on the 04/22 asking me if I am interested in being on the waitlist, I replied saying that I am still interested in attending.Email states that traditionally, most people on waitlist are admitted. Does anyone have any information on the waitlist and the summer program at IU-indy?

I do not have any info on waitlists. I finally went "in review" on 4/27/10. I still want to attend IU-I. We shall see what happens.

Did the email also talk about the summer program or how the waitlist is ranked?

Traditionally, 5-10% of people on a waitlist get off. This year it hasn't even been 5%.

Doesn't look good for me. Got home from work about 7 minutes ago, got some milk, went to check my status......"decision letter sent," no email and no update to my fees. I am sad.

[futurelawyer413]

oh snap! Did you get the waitlist email like the poster above mentioned?

Thanks. I'm wondering also what the summer program is, and seeing as May is in ~2 days, would it start in May or June? The website has absolutely minimal info. regarding this, other than who they believe is "eligible" for the summer program.

Also, does waitlist mean:
1) We are waiting for people to pay their deposits, and those who don't pay one/both after the due date, we'll holla @ u immediately, or
2) Our Fall 2010 class is full for now. The moment anybody withdraws, we'll holla @ u

I didnt an email of any kind. Just chaged over to "decision letter sent." That is all. I am sort of bummed. I guess I need to decide between 2 schools.
