Any negotiation luck this cycle? Trying to negotiate as close to full ride as I can, I'm about 90% of the way there and I have some better offers from peer schools that give me a lower CoA currently. Just trying to have realistic expectations before I send this email

Same here. I'd pretty much decided that they had forgotten my app.

I only applied about a month ago (2/27 I think?) so I can't complain too much.

Has anyone ITT had success asking for an extension to the deposit deadline? I think the first deadline is 4/10, but that's early for me considering other schools/scholly negotiations/the fact that I applied here late.

That is when I applied too but they are still one of the last schools to get after it.

From looking at lawschoolnumbers.com it appears that they have not put out any decisions for apps submitted after January yet.

Just to aid those still waiting, I applied during the first week of January and got my response during the first week of March.

Just got my acceptance via email. In with a full tuition scholarship. I believe my app went Under Review around 2/16. PM for stats

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere else and is readily available online, but when is the seat deposit due and how much is it? TYIA.

KamronK · Post by **KamronK** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 1:50 pm

April 10, 250

Well, 500 total. Second deposit in mid may

Going to the ASW this weekend. Will be there Thursday-Saturday. PM me if anyone wants to get together and go for some drinks on Thursday night.

Withdrawing this morning, $$ after negotiations. Wasn't enough to sway me. Good luc to everyone still waiting/negotiating.

LadyProspero · Post by **LadyProspero** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 10:42 am

This school is literally the slowest... I've gotten admitted to much higher ranked schools within 10 days of submitting the application. I submitted here 5 weeks ago and nothing... Still under review.

Seriously, I might have to withdraw before I even get a decision if they don't send them out soon... Deposit deadlines are really close, and some were yesterday. I know I applied late but geez.

Successful negotiations. See y'all in Champaign.

Full ride as in full tuition or full tuition and fees? I was given a blatant "no" on asking for fees, but I do have full tuition at this point. Didn't hurt for trying!

Iwanttolawschool · Post by **Iwanttolawschool** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 11:43 am

I also got the "no" to tuition AND fees
