Who knows, maybe your SO will find their true passion if they sit in.

on their website the mandatory curve is between 2.9-3.1 so I guess somewhere between median and top 3/4. Anyone have any luck negotiating?

Nope. Received a short and unsweet "no."

U of H just had roughly $10 billion cut from its funding for the 2012-2013 year. Probably not helping the scholarship situation.

I think he meant 10 million. The entire state budget cut was only 15 billion total.

Yes this. State budget cut by billions, university by millions my bad!

Did they seriously just answer with the word "no."? That's weak.

Just went under review! We'll see what they say.

[SomethingSpecial]

So my current status date changed to file in review as of 3/9/2012 and it's been like that for a couple of hours. Interesting since it's the 8th.

Lol yeah... still worth the

Finally heard yesterday! I'd nearly given up. Got an accept, but not sure about $$$ yet. Once I find that out I'm pretty sure I'll withdraw pretty soon so count on one potential spot opening soon

Why does everyone always assume I'm a guy.

Haha no, it was just short. Basically "I am not able to increase it. Let me know if you have any questions."

Um yes I do, why the hell not?

Still pretty weak though.

[JimmysParty]

So does this mean they don't negotiate at all?

[dreambig]

My status checker showed under review 2/10, but the date changed to 3/8 yesterday. Still under review though. Any ideas of what this means? Maybe I'll hear back today? ......hope so

[mtyler19]

Probably not, I used my weakest offer. I'll try again later with my better one and see what they say.

Internet message boards are typically 70-80% guys so its just a creature of habit.

So I am assuming that if I was accepted in late January and I didn't receive a scholarship yet, I won't be getting one....

That's the assumption I'm working with. I was accepted Feb. 3rd. I think they do matching scholarships, though.

I'm going with that assumption as well.

I'm giving them two more days then I'm going to send them my other offers and see what their move is.

[mtyler19]

Just got the letter. 2.9 stip. Is that the same as everyone else.

Haven't gotten it yet, where are you?

Is this a harsh stip?? Pretty sure my Baylor one is 2.75

Found this from last years thread FWIW

[Titleist]

Any one know if admissions office is out for spring break? I want to negotiate my scholarship this week and I don't want to send the e-mail if it wont be checked till next week- buried in a pile of other e-mails.

[zanzbar]

I think they are there today I got a tour from the admissions director.
