Didn't mean any harm. We have the Choosing a Law School thread for advice like this. It's actually pretty helpful over. Might be worth it to post your story and see if others in a similar position can offer advice.

I'm curious about this too


I was also curious if anyone knows how it works with putting in the deposit/acceptance of scholarship...like do I have to withdraw other acceptances or risk losing the scholarship? I can't really find this information anywhere.

I tried and got shot down. Maybe later in the cycle and if you have a really compelling case?

Did you have higher offers from any other schools that you used as leverage or you just tried regardless?

It wouldn't hurt for you to try, it's different for each person. They told me they would look into it and get back to me.

I did have higher offers from higher ranked schools, but maybe didn't make too compelling of an argument....? I agree that if you REALLY want Emory it's worth trying.

If I recall correctly, you are accepted by NU. Why would you still consider Emory?

Is anyone considering doing WashU and then Emory?

What's the deal with the campus tour, etc. that they have on Friday during the day. Is anyone planning to attend that?

I'm trying to figure out if I should visit WashU separately or try to cram both schools into a 3-day period, but that seems hectic.

edit: I am referring to the ASWs at the end of March

I know somebody might have asked this already, but how does Emory notify applicants of their decisions?

good Q:
for some, it was email then package in the mail
for others it was usps then a follow up email
for earlier in the cycle some got fedex
in almost all cases scholarship offers were included in the mailing
