Anyone else get an email regarding your continued interest in remaining on the waitlist?

I got this as well. Hopefully its a good sign!

Was it the first e-mail regarding the waitlist or the second? I got one with a form to fill out when I got my initial waitlist decision but nothing after that...

[uradt]

Got in off the waitlist just now by phone!

[LandMermaid]

Finally got $$ info! Higher than I anticipated but lower than what I wanted to convince me so feeling pretty conflicted.

According to their communications FAQ sent with the decision email, the waitlist isn't ranked.

Congrats uradt!

Withdrew my application yesterday. I hope my spot and $$$ helps someone out. Best of luck!

[jlaw20161]

Any luck so far for those who have attempted scholarship negotiations?

[DebtIsAmyth]

Is there an average turn around time for decisions this late in the cycle? I went under review 3/11 and checking everyday is getting tiresome. GPA 50%, lsat >75%

Just admitted via e-mail!!!

Went complete 3/9

From following this thread, it seems scholly notification is somewhat unpredictable. Anyone have any insights as to how long to wait/method of scholly notification?

So pumped!

Congrats! I just got the email too. A few of my friends who got in earlier received the mail with scholly info 5 days after the email acceptance.

Is anyone aware of the importance of the, now passed, priority financial aid deadline? I submitted my FAFSA yesterday and it has been processed as of today and I would hate for 9 days to appreciably affect my access to aid.

We waited this long, I guess 5 days isn't so bad! Congrats!

Bump this. Very interested to know.

Bump this. Very interested to know.

I got a pretty pointed response saying that I was welcome to submit other offers for them to look at, but any significant increase for someone at "my position" within the class (at and slightly above median) was unlikely.

I mean...I get it if they're saving money for other folks, but the tone of the response was a huge turn off for me, since it made it sound like I had barely squeaked in and should be counting my lucky stars..

I tried and got a response saying they try to make their first offer their best and that they probably won't negotiate until after their first deposit deadline but would keep my request on file.
