Lewis and Clark 2012-2013 applicants Forum

They just changed my status to decision rendered. No email. I'm so nervous. Seems standard that they only send emails on Friday though, right?

Yea, you shouldn't get an email until tomorrow. My status changed on a Tuesday or Wednesday (can't remember) and I was accepted via email the following Friday. Good luck!!

[lindseynicole]

Ahhh. I was accepted. Still super excited. I didn't think my stats would be high enough (LSAT 152, GPA 3.4).

[Rory19]

Just withdrew--I hope this frees up scholarship dollars! Best of luck!!

The volume of posts on the thread this year compared to last year seems indicative of L&C's precipitous drop in the rankings. Certainly not a promising sign.

I think that L&C is overpriced at just under $40,000 for one year of tuition.

And I think they are stingy with aid dollars.


Especially since the estimated median household income for Portland in 2009 was $50,203.
And the estimated per capita income in 2009: $29,137.

Large scholarships on LSN are down considerably from last year. A stingy school is apparently becoming stingier.

Anyone have any luck yet in negotiating scholarships?

I went from 13k/yr to 17k/yr, for what that's worth.

Nope. Was at $0. Still at $0.

They are buying numbers.

The poster has above a 3.5 gpa and about a 161 LSAT.

Seems like a very large scholarship for that combination. Are you sure those numbers are accurate?

Because the poster has not expressly written his/her numbers, no. I am not sure. But in looking at his/her previous posts, this is an educated guess.
Perhaps the poster is also a URM. If that's the case, the scholarship amount seems accurate.

But who knows. Maybe the poster is completely full of shit.

Are you mad that L&C is "buying numbers"? You know every school gives money to applicants with higher numbers?

I forgot my numbers weren't in my profile. 3.6/161 female non-urm. I was one of the people who got the out of money letter. After visiting I submitted a Why X & got 22k/yr.

Congratulations. That must have been one heck of an essay.

Nope. Not mad. Just stating a fact. No worries.

Congrats! Great numbers for L&C and probably a great essay too! I'd love to read it if you wouldn't mind sharing.

PM sent & thanks all - love L&C and almost positive I will be depositing.

Yes, that kind of scholarship would be hard to turn down. Great school in a great place. I would also love to see the essay if you don't mind. I have never heard of anyone going from 0 to 22 (let alone 10+) at L&C.

[nolabreeze]

[BlazersTime]

Withdrew. Opened up some money too, good luck!

[johnsbren]

You think BU will position you better for Portland than L&C?
