Hey all! Use TLS'ers need to start figuring out which ASW we're considering and stuff! I think it'd be cool if we could make a big thing of it for us!

I'm leaning towards the one in March.

Same, it coincides with my Spring Break

[LyricsToLitigation]

Ok very cool - and I'm thankful nobody called me on my use-us typo hahaha so thanks for that!

I'm going to the one on Valentine's Day. Man, I miss things like "spring break" and "summer break." Can't wait to have them again

[abrahm]

I'm leaning towards the 28th. March is too close to decision time.

One of them is right around deposite date and if you go you get money off your deposite.

Any word on travel stipend?

[Yazzzay]

Hey, question about scholarships. Right now I only have 2 large scholarships, from lower ranked schools (san diego & penn state), but I'm waiting on (i hope) 4 other school's packages. I got into most schools in a week and live abroad so god knows how long the mail will take...

As per the acceptance email, should I just email the two lower ranked schools offers to Wake now (tomorrow) or wait until I get more? Or should I just let them know of other schools' scholarships as they come?


+1 on the travel stipend too?

Thanks!

Probably from last years' thread. I can't confirm it, but people were saying they reduced the deposit to around $200. Not exactly a stipend, but does make up for a hotel room I suppose.

Application back under review after the video interview! Hoping I receive a decision soon.

For those of you who got scholarship, did you find out in the initial acceptance email or did you find out separately? If separately how, and how long after the acceptance?

Separately. I was accepted a while ago (Nov/Dec) and didn't hear about a scholarship until that batch was released a couple of weeks ago.

Same here. Also, they include a reconsideration form with it (just in case you're going to want to negotiate).

I haven't heard about a reconsideration form. How does it work? Is the form to be included in addition to, or instead of a letter to admissions?

From the email:

"We understand that financing your education is an important consideration and that cost will be a factor in your decision-making process. Our goal is to offer our students a competitive financial aid package that allows them to choose Wake Forest Law because they believe we can best prepare them for a successful future.

You’ll find attached a “Scholarship Reconsideration Request” form. If you have offers from other schools that seem more attractive to you or that you believe might compel us to adjust our award, please complete the form and return it along with copies of the other offers to lscholar@wfu.edu at your earliest convenience. Submissions will be reviewed and considered for an increase to your current offer within ten business days."

My plan is to send an email along with the form. The form is simply school, tuition, and scholarship amount.

Okay, awesome. Thanks for the info!

Accepted via email on Friday (1/31)!

I spoke with the Event Coodinator and it's confirmed: those who attend any ASD will have their first deposits reduced from $500 to $200. An official message about it should be coming in the next few days.

Thanks good to know.

For those of you who completed an interview online, how long did it take for you to receive a decision after the interview?

[upstateboy]

Has anyone received a decision after doing the online interview?

[abrahm]

Hey for those of you who submitted scholarship offers per the request in the acceptance email, did Dean Shively confirm he received the email? I emailed him with my other offers, but he did not respond, so I'm wondering if I should be concerned as to whether he received it or not. Thanks!
