Dunno - it's still pretty early in LA. Then again, hope is lost on we the applicants of 2016-17.

Is it too early to e-mail admissions to ask for travel stipends?

I don't think so, especially if airfare is involved! I know they mentioned "all expenses paid" to me when they invited me to the April ASW.longpig wrote:Is it too early to e-mail admissions to ask for travel stipends?

I got in last week! Submitted late November.
I didn't even get a proper acceptance letter or phone call. just an email about admitted students weekend and scholarship opportunities. it might be because im living abroad. American UG 170/3.94

Re: UCLA Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I didnt actually, because they called me in the middle of the work day and I was mostly just trying to process how stoked I was to get into Epstein! But I am definitely interested especially because it looks like the April ASW is focused on diversity, so I would like to know the differences in agenda compared to their March event. I am from SoCal though so I am going to inquire about lodging or possibly mileage. Are you planning on going to April ASW?brinicolec wrote:They mentioned that to me as well.

When he called me to inform me of my acceptance, he said they'd offer me all expense paid for a trip in April (am assuming that he meant ASW). I would love to go, ESPECIALLY if they're going to help me get there lol. I should've asked for more info but it was my first phone call acceptance so I didn't know how to act! I just kept saying thank you smhplayersball wrote:I didnt actually, because they called me in the middle of the work day and I was mostly just trying to process how stoked I was to get into Epstein!

He told me they'd cover up to $200 (I'm flying from East Coast). E-mailed them over the holiday to ask about the stipend so we'll see what they say.brinicolec wrote:When he called me to inform me of my acceptance, he said they'd offer me all expense paid for a trip in April (am assuming that he meant ASW).

Re: UCLA Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I wonder if they do that because of how much distance you have to cover. Definitely let me know what they say!longpig wrote:He told me they'd cover up to $200 (I'm flying from East Coast).

Re: UCLA Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
To clarify, there are two events on that April weekend.
There's an all expense paid trip from Apr 7-9 for under-represented students.
There's also the general ASD on April 9th. Maybe that's the one where they're offering a $200 stipend?

OH! That explains it. I'm a URM. They must have been talking about the April 7-9 one when they called. Do you have any additional info on that/know when we'll get additional info?Gitaroo_Dude wrote:To clarify, there are two events on that April weekend.

No other info; the e-mail I received just said to save that weekend and that additional info would be coming at a later date. I got an additional e-mail about the regular ASDs too, so they're separate events.brinicolec wrote:OH! That explains it. I'm a URM.

I feel like a lot of people have been saying they got accepted relatively quick. I am above their 50th GPA and well above their 75th LSAT. What's taking so long? Any ideas? I was expecting a fast turn-around on this decision.

Several others have voiced similar situations. I think the honest truth is that they just haven't gotten through the pile yet and their process is kind of unorganized.brinicolec wrote:Maybe YP.Reid-Bailey wrote:I feel like a lot of people have been saying they got accepted relatively quick.
