scholly info sent today *dances* we'll seeee

[thickfreakness]

Scholarships have been going out a ton the last week and a half, but has there been any admission decision movement? I've been UR for a little bit now and I'm wondering when (or if) we'll get a wave of RD acceptances.

Sadly not. I probably should've written a Why Duke...

I must be distracted from the sting at Berkley.

Anyone get their scholarships today? I'm trying to figure out a way to tell if the mailman hasn't come yet or if I didn't get anything today.

Too bad, but I would be so exicited with that ammount (hint to Duke).

About accurate. May not get around to WDing today as I am very busy. Did you get $75K? Was that right?

Yeah and I asked them if they'd give me 90k but only because I'd rather withdraw from UVA than Duke. Figure I should hang onto: A.) School that gives me the most money and B.) School that is my top choice if money were even in the chance that I don't get into Stanford and need to pick between the two.

Just wondering, why is Duke > UVA for you?

Also, wait if $$ were even, Duke > Boalt/NYU/Chicago? I'm confused.

No I mean I will eventually hold onto one of Boalt / Chicago / NYU as my "top" choice (assuming I don't get into YS) if everything were even. And then I will hold on to my cheapest option, which is UVA currently, just in case I have a change of heart and decide to take the money and run (although right now I would have to say if I was going to the east coast anyway, I think I'd be a fool to not go to Chicago even if they didn't give me any aid).

I prefer Duke to UVA because of dual degree programs and my SO's ex-boyfriend goes to UVA med and I would probably want to sucker punch him if I ever saw him on campus.

Also, Duke has the most beautiful Chapel except for Stanford's.

Ahh I get it. Cool. The Left Coast is the best coast, btw.

BoalTTT FTW.

True.

True.

That was my reason for picking it. That and the monkies.

'grats to those who received theirs today, even if they aren't going to ultimately use it.

I was thinking I would get $67,500. I was planning on going if the offer was $75,000+.

[Jericwithers]

Everyone seems to be getting less than they hoped for, but they also didn't write 'why duke' essays. I am hoping my essay will be my saving grace for getting a happy scholarship ammount. I wish I could go pick up my mail directly at the post office.

I got more than I expected. With my numbers, I thought I'd get either $45K or $54K, but I got $60K. I wrote a Why Duke.

Yes, but you are also 2x the person I am (I measure people by law school acceptances). Besides that though out situation at Duke seems similar, so I can only hope I get equal treatment. You're in Cali, right? I guess the 4 hour difference explains why you got yours today
