Just got my scholarship email - $75k! Really excited, but facing some tough choices.

I was in the 3/29 admit wave so I'm sure offers are going to be coming out to the rest of you soon! Good luck all.

[jbagelboy]

Got the email too.

Anyone know to what degree Chicago negotiates with (significantly higher) Northwestern offers? I wouldn't expect a complete match but maybe a 2/3?

Thank you! Enough to lure you away from H/S?

Thanks! I probably won't end up accepting it ... hopefully it frees up the aid for someone who really needs it (or I guess deserves it).

Did anyone who is attending the ASW and chose to stay with a current student receive any info on housing? I haven't heard anything yet...

You'll probably hear on Monday. Possibly Tues.

+1. Not enough to pull me from HLS, tho.

Haha no, but they didn't even give me the $90 it seems like everybody else got! Haters!

Received a $45,000 total scholarship from Chicago. Didn't expect money at all, and with my numbers I don't think negotiating is going to work. And I don't think it is enough to justify turning down $90,000 at UVA. :-/

+1. Wasn't UVA's deadline today?

What do you want to do? Personally, I think Chicago's worth 45k more than UVA.

IMO, this is particularly true if you want to go into academia.

I'm wanting to go into immigration, specifically in the non-profit sector.

[permapress]

received a $90,000 scholarship offer today. i thought it was extremely generous

[az21833]

i got 75k, but think i prefer the full ride at penn more. its probably hls or full ride at penn for me

[dpm54]

UR 3/29, haven't heard anything since - 164/3.97 safe to say its a wait list or rejection?

.

[boblawlob]

anyone know how we turn in scholarship negotiation letters? Email? Snail mail?

Hand delivered.



I don't know about Chicago admissions at all, but I'd have to assume email. Snail mail generally equates to a slow response (because takes longer for them to receive it) and most people need to know asap about scholarships.

just withdrew, hoping the admit and $ trickles down to TLS. enjoy Hyde Park guys - its an amazing school.

UR1 mid-march no interview invite. Does this imply anything? Also, if I am wait listed with no interview invite do I still have a chance of acceptance or are the wait list acceptances pretty much only from people who were offered an interview?

I would also like to know the answer to the second part of your question... I was w/l with no interview after a december submit and mid-march UR1. Put on the w/l 3/31

Good luck!

[Micdiddy]

Finally UR.
