Has anyone heard from Chicago-Kent? Forum

[Not-A-Teabagger]

just make sure you get an unlimited cta pass and you're golden.

When you go to Kent you can get a U-Pass for like $80/semester and its unlimited.

The U-Pass doesn't cover the suburban Pace buses and can be problematic if you are based in a suburb which is not served by the CTA.

neither does it cover the metra. Using the Pace to get to a CTA ride would be a nightmare. But living in oak park, forest park, etc...and driving to the cta parking lot wouldn't be bad seeing how close the blue line is to Kent. That blue line ride would be quick, though who wants to live in the burbs unless you got a family...

I finally received my acceptance letter in the mail!! It says I got 20K per year for a total of 60, but I don't see any terms. Should I just assume it's guaranteed? I remember some of you saying you could choose between 20 with terms or a lower number guaranteed. Where did you see this information at?

I would definitely call in to double check on terms. I accepted a scholarship from kent, but made sure that there were not gpa requirements or anything like that. They have a "good standing" stipulation, but that appears to be a subjective standard. Give the admissions office a ring, they are very helpful people. Best of luck!

just withdrew. was offered 20k/yr. Good luck everyone.

I posted this question in the Chicago-Kent Class of 2013 thread, but figured I'd post here too just in case...

Has anyone tried negotiating scholarship money with Kent? I did receive some money with them, but I thought I'd try. I sent an email to the admissions office yesterday afternoon (I know, super late and I already put a deposit down with them) and still haven't heard back. They're probably just going to ignore me, lol.

Yes. And it worked. And I didn't take it...so go get my $$!

Sweet! Thanks! That gives me hope. I was so worried about trying to negotiate that my e-mail about negotiating money sounds almost apologetic...but here's hoping it works!

I guess in C-K there are lots of procrastination masters in the admissions committee

IR 01/16 02/19 and still no decision.

Waiting a moment, did I actually apply for Calvin Klein?

[SmittenMitten]

withdrew on the 15th from PT program w/$$

Hope this helps somebody!

In via status checker just now

[thinkbig]

In via status checker and email from Dean Krent over the weekend. How long does it typically take from this point to get the acceptance letter in the mail? I'm anxious to see what kind of scholarship will be attached to the admission offer.

Care to share your numbers and submit/complete dates for those of us still (im)patiently waiting?

By FAR the longest decision time of the 12 schools I applied to:
1/4 Submitted
1/13 Complete - Under Review
3/24 Complete - Under Review (after inquiring about status)
3/31 Complete - Under Review (after inquiring about status)
4/17 Admitted

[roofles]

Mine (PT application) went -

app filed 2/8
first review some time in late feb.
second under review 3/11
third under review 3/29
admit dated 4/20 on status checker

[thinkhard]

does the status checker actually say admit or just letter sent?

[NervousInKC]

I think it said admitted.

I think it said admitted.

do you know if DePaul is the same? I thought it would just say letter sent.

DePaul's will say "Decision Letter Sent". Kent's will actually say "Admitted" (hopefully).

No, status checker just says admitted, and then states that a letter/package will be mailed shortly.

Decided not to take the Kent scholarship increase and withdrew. $90k total back in the pot! Good luck all!

Scholarship "increase"? Does that mean you successfully negotiated with them to increase the amount of their original offer? How did you go about it? I was offered $10k/yr and would definitely go there if they beat Loyola's offer of the same.
Sorry if you already explained; I haven't followed any of your previous posts.

I'm in the middle of negotiating with Kent as of now. I just shot them an email asking nicely if they would consider increasing my scholarship. You could also try calling. I already put a deposit down and you're really supposed to do negotiating with them before you put a deposit down, but I thought I'd try. Not sure how it'll turn out, but we'll see...

Did they reply? I am very interested in doing this too. I believe you can back out even if you put down a deposit; you just lose that money.
