In today with 21k/yr (50%) and a >3.0 stipulation on that (top half of the class).

For those counting, I'm >>75% LSAT and <25% GPA.

submitted my app last friday.. did anyone receive a confirmation email? Is there a status check available?

They will send you a status checker email.

How soon do they send that? The other schools I applied to were next day status checker emails

I think it was a day or two, but I hear they're a bit behind on the app cycle this year.

It has been a little over a week now, do you think I should e-mail them?

In just now with 84k provost scholly. Anyone know how open they are to negotiating?

They won't negotiate.

They won't negotiate.

84K is equivalent to two years worth of tuition right?

[whitespider]

Yeah, 2/3 tuition

Edit: No negotiation at all? That sucks. Maybe they'll make an exception because I'm adorable.

They won't negotiate ever, one of a few law schools that won't. If you send them another offer and say XXXX school is giving me $XX,XXX they will basically respond "Wow, that's a great choice and am sure that will make your choice very difficult. Of course if we have additional funds at the end of acceptances we will let you know" But they have never given anyone any more.

In terms of the 84K you received tuition is like 45ish a year so pretty close to two thirds. The will divide it into 3 years though and of course you have to maintain their stip.

That sucks. I got equivalent offers from higher ranked schools and was hoping to use those to negotiate with them. That pretty much takes Denver out of the running for me...

Ditto. I'll still give it the old college try this spring, though. Maybe they'll have to change up their policy this year with apps declining.

In today with Provost 2/3's scholly.. I am happy with it!

[FairchildFLT]

Got a request to apply and a fee waiver. I think it's weird they would send it this late. I got all my T14 waiver in September. I'm already in at Boulder so there is no way I would attend anyway, just thought it was weird.

[ConnorDubya]

I officially sent in my deposit and will be attending in the Fall. Now I just have to find housing!

Congrats! Are you from the area? I think I'll be attending as well, just need to go check the school and area out first. No clue to where to even start looking at to live

Also in with <25% GPA and a 168. Offered $21k/yr (half tuition). Just a data point.
Think 1/2 Tuition at Sturm is a decent bargaining chip for another school (3rd Tier) that also offered 1/2 Tuition?

[pdt1765]

Did you guys get scholly info with your acceptance or did they send it a few days after?

Same email- I never noticed my status change from "Ready for Review" to "Decision"- I'm pretty OCD and check 5x a day sometimes-

[whitespider]

Emailed them to negotiate a couple weeks ago and was told they don't negotiate.

Bumped today to 30k a year.

I got bumped too. Didnt even ask, not attending anyway though.

[whitespider]

Yeah, I wondered if it was an across-the-board thing.

I'll probably be withdrawing shortly as well. Better offers from better schools.

[Falcon3]

Must be running short on applications- bumped to 22,500- COA +tuition is still way too high for their actual numbers (although that can be said about most TTT/TTTT schools)

[joeschmoe]

I was also bumped to $30,000/year a month or so ago. I attempted to negotiate my scholarship, but they said that they weren't able to offer me more money at the time. It is a shame, because while tuition wouldn't be bad with the $30,000/year scholarship, I'm not a fan of the 3.0 GPA stipulation (which they also wouldn't remove). Personally, I don't think that paying that much $$$ and having to be in the top 50% is a good decision for me for their employment outcomes. Unless something changes, a $30,000/year scholarship will probably be available soon. Good luck to the rest of you!

That 3.0 stip is really east to meet. It actually comes out to about the Top 55-60%. I think on average 85% of those with scholarships retain them. Don't know if that helps, but just thought I would throw it out there.
