This stuff is such a black box.

Agreed! Scholarships are a VERY different ball game!

Got my email.

Looks like I'll see some of you in Durham next year

As a WLer, idk why I'm cruising this thread still, but I'm like 99% there with you depending on how my next ASW goes

I'm not salty about it, I was just holding out in case I got much more money to NU. Since that didn't happen I'll be enrolling with a smile on my face

Congrats on having an easy answer! I am really relying on my negotiation with Duke coming through how I want

[somedeadman]

Would it be a bad move to cite MyLSN results in a scholarship appeal?

Thanks! My dad has recently jumped on the Chicago bandwagon so that isn't helping

[2000andBeyond]

$75k and I am happy! With my 15x LSAT, I am ecstatic.
Can I ask for just $5k more per year? Do you think that's unreasonable?

Same girl...gonna try to get my shit up to 90k too.

Shoot your shot 2017

[guynourmin]

Wow...roughly half of what Michigan and Duke offered. I really tried on my essays too. This stuff is such a black box.

serious black box. I got nothing from Michigan and 50% here. If I would have received the same offer from Michigan in Jan I would have already deposited!

[mtf612]

120k. Pretty solid, more than Duke offered. Comports with several on LSN. If asw goes awesome I'll negotiate up.

Would showing interest (like attending ASW) be of any help in terms of increasing a scholarship?

Definitely not no. Can't hurt.

are you going to say something like "people with my numbers usually get more money" or something? I don't think that'll get them to move since that doesn't show that they're competing with other offers from peer schools. there's no real incentive for them to increase their scholarship and could show that NU is currently your best option. I guess if you have no other bargaining chips it couldn't hurt.

I'm curious about this as well. Right now for me it's between WashU with no debt vs. NU at almost sticker, so I don't even know what would qualify as a best option.

yeah definitely would not do that, as tempting as it is. you have no idea of the story behind the numbers that you see on LSN - people with your same stats but higher offers could have some merit + need, could have some impressive work experience, other "strong softs," etc. etc. and I think it would come off as presumptuous to reference their offers to try to argue for a higher offer for yourself. and, like protein said, just because they offered more to someone else with your numbers doesn't mean that what they've offered you doesn't make them your best choice.

Same. Withdrawing immediately. Congrats to everyone who got what they wanted

also important to note that the LSN numbers are going to be after negotiations. they very well could have had lower initial offers.

I think a better option would to say "I am very hesistant to take on this much debt but a $X increase in my scholarship would definitely make me commit" or something like that.

Depends on what you want. If you're hunting unicorns then take SLS and don't look back. If you're cool with grinding big law in a big city and don't want academia/feeder clerkship then free is big

[Dr.Degrees_Cr.Cash]

Is there some amount of time I should wait before trying to negotiate?

[somedeadman]

[quote="proteinshake"][/quote]
Alright, I'm going to do that. Might use LSN numbers as a last ditch effort or something, but sounds like it's a pretty bad idea

What are your career goals? If just Biglaw, then NU with no debt is the smarter move. Stanford is more reasonable if you're going for the unicorn things though.
