[Marshmallow]

anyone mind sharing merit aid numbers? I got my package and I believe it said I would have to wait to get a response regarding aid, probably because I applied to the PI scholarship.

Anyone else waiting on that?

Glancing at Law School Numbers, it looks like the highest award is $60,000 so far, with many people getting offered $45,000 and $30,000 packages as well.

BU offered me just over $100,000 for 3 years, and it came with my admission packet in the mail. just wanted to throw this out there since I don't update LSN with $ awards.

The highest they've given so far is $105,000. I received just under what Marshmallow's offer is.

Congrats to both of you on good aid from a good school!

Do you mind sharing GPA/LSAT?

Thank you and I won't hold refusal against you.

Numbers for those interested: 161/3.77
45k total. Surprised I got anything with the LSAT score bringing me down.

I had update times identical to yours. Just above median for GPA, just below median for LSAT.

Same.

Applied Tuesday, still no confirmation email/status checker...

Should I be worried?

Only asking because every other school seems to send this email almost immediately after submitting...

FWIW, it took 3 days after submitting my app to receive a status checker email.

Nah, don't worry about it. I submitted my BU app on a Friday and received the notification e-mail the following Tuesday. Some schools take 4-5 business days. I'd wait 6-7 business days before reaching out to the admissions office to check. As long as you have the receipt from LSAC, it's all good.

BU at least sent scholly info whereas I was accepted to BC awhile ago and no word of nothing yet. Keep holding on!

Checking in.

I recently sent in my application and received my first complete this morning and then a second one just a few minutes ago. Hopefully two completes over the course of a few hours means I'll get an answer soon? Fingers crossed!

Congratulations to everyone who's been accepted so far and good luck to the rest of us

Two completes on the same day? That sounds unusual. To everyone: is it?

How can you tell you got 2 completes in a day? Wouldn't they both have today's date?

Do you mean you had a complete yesterday (2/5) and then another today (2/6)? If that's the case, then I think you're likely to get a decision shortly.

How recently did you submit?
