Any word yet on when Penn will give out non-named scholarships?

At ASW, I spoke to the person in charge of financial aid and he told me that we should start seeing awards in the next two weeks. I told him that my earliest competing offer is good until April 15th and he said I'd definitely hear back before then. As for merit scholarships, he said that those are distributed up until the deposit deadline. Merit and need-based aid could come in the same e-mail or separately.

I wish someone could have asked the same thing about decisions...

WL by email this evening (after 9:00pm). I applied in late September, was held in January, and submitted a LOCI at the beginning of February.

I wrote back straight away to withdraw, since I can't wait until May or later for a decision.

Hopefully that makes things easier for others on the wait list - GL everyone!

How much does it improve ones chances of admission doing ED?

With a 170+ LSAT you're generally good with a 3.3 GPA or higher.

Good to hear. I was looking at LSN, I know, not totally representative, but I saw some ED's get in with "sub-par" numbers. I think the numbers you listed sound pretty accurate. Thank you.

I got in with ED this cycle so I was doing a ton of research on it myself. Not much of an advantage to do ED with below median LSAT, but it's hugely beneficial for splitters.

Waitlisted this evening as well. Not surprising considering how late I submitted this one. Withdrawn.

Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know of anyone that has gotten accepted in the last month?

Not too sure any of us have on here Kntu, however, you should check LSN-- there has to be quite a bit.

I'm not in at any t-10's, and the only t14 I've made is Cornell. I'm having a pretty bad cycle imo

3-15? hm...I'm still at 3-12 and they haven't given me any decision yet. Anyway,"only getting into Cornell" is definitely a 1st world problem.

Very true

[haowu80s]

Not even in Cornell. Get waitlisted everywhere. I guess 170 is just not enough this year. Or foreigner is really not favored.

Merit, need, or both?

[hiphophead]

Clearly I don't post here much, but has anyone else only had one "under review" date so far? I have 3/12 and then nothing. Has everyone had at least 2 UR dates before being rejected/accepted/waitlisted?
