Mind sharing your numbers?

If talking to me, 3.5 / 167 - fairly modest compared to y'all. I'm old with good to great softs so that's what I'm attributing scholly.

Received the Tuition Equalization scholarship in the mail today as well. Anyone have any idea if it's possible to receive more $$ on top of that? Or is the in-state tuition rate as low as you can go if you receive that scholarship?

Some people get money on top of that, but not many do. Getting instate is easy in Georgia, so it's a pretty good deal.
If you were going to get more money(without having to ask) it would have likely been included in that letter, as I think that was the deal last cycle. Last year, they ran out of money, so getting more by asking is probably not going to happen.

How did the notification come? Email? Snail mail?

Snail mail postmarked 12/23. I'm 60 miles away, so probably one of the earlier of this batch.

Go see Coenen's class if you go outside of ASD. It's probably the best one to see of the list of professors that allow it(though that list hasn't been updated for next semester, he has an open door policy). If anyone wants more detail about who to see/avoid, they can PM.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be pming you. Are classes in session for MLK?

Haha I'm about 3 miles away but I'm home for the break. My mailbox will definitely be my first stop back in Athens

Out of state, got a tuition reduction scholarship in the mail today (one step down from tuition equalization... means I only get one semester of in-state tuition as opposed to two.)

Good luck all.

Sounds like a good reason to go back early! Good luck!

I got the tuition equalization today in the mail and 5k on top of that in the same letter. Looks like on Lsn a few people with 170 lsats got full rides.

This is killing me--- I want my mail to come in

[stlisforlovers]

I got tution equalization, plus 5k/ year. I can't believe how cheap Georgia is for in state! My state school is Illinois and it's twice as expensive!!

[DaveBear07]

Tuition equalization and 7.5k a year here-- very excited to have this option!

Sorry if this doesn't belong, but did you all send in a resume with your application? I don't particularly like how limited the space is on the application for filling in past employment information.

I did.

[NonTradHealthLaw]

Ditto for all schools whether requested or not.

For both of you - did you then bother to fill in the employment spaces (to the best of your ability) or did you just leave it blank? Thanks!

[Kchuck]

Has anyone in the past been successful with negotiating a tuition reduction scholarship into a tuition equalization scholarship?

Feel free to send it in, they do not care. When career services talked to us in November, they read some of the bad stuff to us for lulz.

So glad I checked UGA's status today.

1/1 - file was still received but not complete
1/5 - "Your file is being reviewed by the Admissions Committee" NICE

Ah okay - I applied 12/15 so hopefully mine just says incomplete because i emailed them to wait for Dec score.

I sent in my resume and also filled in the spots for employment on the app. No harm in doing both. I got accepted on 12/7 FWIW.

Just thought this was weird - LSP has me at 16% Deny with my stats. LSAC's official guide puts me at 55-75%.

Wasn't UGA accepting anyone over 165 last year who had a pulse?

I have a 168 and my app was held for further review. I've been accepted to some higher ranked schools, and don't think I made any egregious errors in my app. I think they just don't really like me, apparently my LSAT and pulse aren't enough.
