Got the email. Not thrilled but not surprised given my stats. Does anyone who applied for the public interest scholarship know if that information was also released/ decided on today?

[chargers21]

Just got the scholly letter!

USC Gould Merit Scholarship = $157.5k ($52.5k per academic year)

same here. gotta love them dolla bills

[Torres1893]

Only got 75k. Looks like I'll be attending somewhere else.

My LSAT is at 25th so I was expecting 90k or less.

I did not get any info on the public interest scholarship, so would also be interested in knowing if anyone has heard anything

I'm curious how other schools will evaluate and compare competing offers from USC though.

Their tuition is one of the highest, so couldn't their scholarships be considered inflated in order to keep pace with other tuitions that are like mid/low 50k?

I would imagine schools will analyze cost of attendance after scholarship as opposed to gross numbers. But that's an assumption

[hammy393]

Same! This equals the offer I got from WUSTL. It's a lot cheaper to live in St. Louis though.

Same! This equals the offer I got from WUSTL. I honestly didn't expect to get this much from any California schools, makes my decision a little more difficult.

Same amount here. Wonder how difficult it would be to bump this to a full ride...

[RedPurpleBlue]

$126k GPA > 75th, LSAT = 50th. I was expecting $120k, so it was a pleasant surprise.

i was wondering the same

[JD_Kingfish]

$157,500. More than expected. At/Above both 75ths.

[Mr_Chukes]

From the numbers posted on LSN, it looks they want their GPA > 50s. I'm splitting with an LSAT > 75, and only got 45K total. Unless something was subpar on my app.

Wait 45k for all three years in total?

Yeah, I want to see if they will match WUSTL.. Its a 5k diff. per year for me, but every bit helps, especially when USC is almost 10k more in tuition.

[whatupbrobro]

@ray.bee numbers??

[hernandp]

120K total! $40,000 each year. LSAT below 50th and GPA greater than 50th percentile. URM and went to USC for undergrad.

[Mr_Chukes]

I can't be mad. I was lucky to even get in lol. Love softs lol. 75k total isn't bad.

[Colonel_funkadunk]

Bloomington is looking real nice now with that full ride

I wrote my LOR writers an update email, and one of them (who I respect a lot) told me she got her PhD at IU Bloomington and said the school is great, so I'm feeling more confident about going there. Other than that I'm waiting on the scholly offer from Notre Dame. If I get like 90k or more from them I think I'm going to go, since I'm probably going to get dinged at UT and Mich.
