No. My date changed to 11/15 and that's what my letter was dated. Are you at medians? I wouldn't be worrying yet.

I'm a reverse splitter...below 25% for LSAT and very much above 75% for GPA from a respected state institution. TN resident, good softs, good LORS. I just want this purgatory-like state of waiting to be over!

Thanks! In the mean time, I'm trying to stay sane. UT is my #1 choice.Winston1984 wrote:I know it's tough, but hang in there!

Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today. It's $25K for all three years. I'm OOS so this brings tuition/fee costs to around $38K for me. Anyone else hear anything?

I'm surprised you weren't offered more being above both 75ths.AT9 wrote:Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today. It's $25K for all three years. I'm OOS so this brings tuition/fee costs to around $38K for me. Anyone else hear anything?

Did your dates ever change while you were under review in the status checker?AT9 wrote:Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today. It's $25K for all three years. I'm OOS so this brings tuition/fee costs to around $38K for me. Anyone else hear anything?

Re: University of Tennessee C/O 2017 (2013-2014 Applicants)
I think it's $25K per year, so $75K total. I'd be really surprised if it was $25K total, judging by my other offers. Or did you mean to say that you're surprised I wasn't offered more than $75K?Winston1984 wrote:I'm surprised you weren't offered more being above both 75ths.AT9 wrote:Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today.

Thanks! And I honestly don't remember about the status checker. I was admitted early on (UTK was my first acceptance) and it was a pretty quick turnaround, so I didn't check it often before I got accepted. But good luck, it's still early!kellohitty wrote:Congrats! I'm still waiting...AT9 wrote:Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today.

I thought you meant 25k total. That seems right. I got the phone call today, but I didn't ask for an amount lol. For some weird reason I thought it would be weird to ask haha.AT9 wrote:Winston1984 wrote:I'm surprised you weren't offered more being above both 75ths.AT9 wrote:Got a call today and they said a scholarship letter was going in the mail today.

Haha, I didn't ask either. She didn't say it right off the bat, but I asked some stupid question about the deadline to accept the offer and she slipped it in there.

I received a call today and they said the same. I didn't ask the amount either. I am above both 75ths, so I hope it is a good one. Congratulations to the others who have been accepted and those who got calls today.

Just saw that my date on the status checker changed from 10/17 to 12/5, nothing else changed on the status, no note of any mailing & status still shows review. Has anyone else seen this happen?

I remember reading that the status checker changes dates as you move through the review process. You may receive a decision soon! I applied about two weeks after you, so maybe my decision will come soon as well.Jesse1983 wrote:Just saw that my date on the status checker changed from 10/17 to 12/5, nothing else changed on the status, no note of any mailing & status still shows review.

Yeah. Now that you mention it I recall reading that as well. I'm just getting anxious playing the waiting game.kellohitty wrote:

Is anyone in this thread for sure going to UTK? After receiving the scholarship in the mail, I'm for sure attending.

I also got my letter today; OOS, with $25k per year.

If I get in, I'm definitely attending irregardless of scholarship $ (I'm a vet so post 9/11 GI bill will cover just about everything). Admittedly UTK is a big reach for me considering my stats, but we shall see.

I think my top choices are Vandy, UGA, W&M, and SMU. No offense to UTK, but with a cheaper option at FSU and almost the same offer at UGA, it wouldn't make much sense to go with UTK given my ties and preferences.TennesseeLaw wrote:Congrats!

Once I hear back from my other schools of interest and hash it out with my wife, I'll start withdrawing my applications from other schools. Assuming UTK is one of them, I hope one of you gets my $$!

Those are good choices. You can use your money as leverage to some of those, as well. Good luck choosing!AT9 wrote:I think my top choices are Vandy, UGA, W&M, and SMU.

Received the call from Ms. Carolyn herself this afternoon--I'm in! UT was my number one choice. I'm ecstatic!
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
