Fair enough. I received a low-ball offer though, so it feels like not negotiating = stingy: Applied first week of Jan, GPA>75, LSAT=median, Scholarship=25. Very disappointed.

Is $25K really that bad though for a median LSAT? I think that is actually a really solid offer.

Sorry. The "25" refers to scholarship percentile, which is equal to $15k. I think that number is low for a school that costs 50k a year. 20-25k per year in scholarship would be great!

Does anyone know what the admitted students website login is? Is it firstnamelastname, smu2014? Something like that? I can't find my admit letter haha.

Also, is ASD really on March 29th? Last year it was on a Friday.

It's April 1st

Asking other people what the deposit date is is not always helpful; at some point in the admissions process, the deposit date starts rolling back. My admit date (in a prior year) was mid-March and my deposit date was later than April 1.

Good point, BVest. I was admitted in December so later admits may have later deposit dates as you said.

If I could go back in time I totally would've applied with the stipulation... The amount that it pays in one year makes it very worth it
