What can we expect in the mail after receiving the admission email?

This cool little flash drive with info about the school. Nothing important really. My scholarship info was in the original email.

I pictured Ron Burgandy saying that...and yeah. At the very least its a two gig flash drive!

Flash drive? Looks like they've up the fun stuff in the package from years past.

I asked for a scholly negotiation and just got news that they have upped my scholly from 60k to 75k. IU is really enticing right now.

Did you actually negotiate or did the very prospect cause them to up it...because if that's so I know what I am doing right now.

Hey all- I just got my email (accepted with decent $$) today, but I'm a little concerned about the 4/1 commit date. I'm still hearing back from and have received offers from other schools, some of which are in the West Coast area where I am from and want to work. I definitely want to hold a seat, but it would be crazy to accept a binding offer without knowing what my acceptance picture looks like. Is IU understanding when it comes to situations like this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it can hurt. Like the email said, there's no cost to commit. I'm sure they are understanding and, let's imagine if they weren't, how could they hold it against you? People back out after putting money down for seats all the time -- standard practice.

I emailed them this morning asking about an extension on the commit date. I'm planning a visit to the area early/mid-April and I don't want to make any decisions until I visit. I'll let you know when I hear back, so we know if an extension is a possibility.

IIRC in past cycles Maurer has been known to give you a bump just for saying you want to negotiate (assuming you have strong numbers). If you have opposing offers, you can normally go beyond that initial bump. However, if you don't receive the bump just by asking, don't fret, you'll likely still be able to negotiate up with other means.

Should I wait more or contact the admissions office?

I would go ahead and contact the admissions office. It couldn't hurt I don't think!

They are behind right now. I received an email last week from their admissions office that apologized for the delay and it said a decision should be coming soon. I didn't email them to ask why I had not received a decision yet so their email was actually a nice touch.

They can't be too behind....

I'd email them if it has been longer than six weeks.

IN via email with $

If people are getting decisions in less than two weeks, that is probably BS.

So what's the general consensus on this? It's been over 7 weeks like this. Should I be giving a call?

"...has been sent to the committee for review. This process can take up to six weeks to render a decision"

Yes..

I do not know why everyone is so scared to contact a school. I would call them because if you email too much you have a paper trail.

If it has been too long and you want to know...just call them. Your calling them will have no bearing on whether you are accepted or not and if you are sitting in a reject pile...you know sooner. You have nothing to lose

Accepted via email last week, nothing via snail mail.

what did people think about spring law day?

[kellohitty]

what did people think about spring law day?

I was there! It made me excited about attending law school, but not really about attending IU. It was a little long and drawn out, but IU does have a lot to offer. I also don't know if I'd like living in Bloomington, it's just too remote for me.

We have to let them know by tomorrow -- which is kind of intimidating.

Which way is everybody leaning?
