Wisconsin, I'm going to need less of the alumni donation solicitations and more of the law school admission emails from you.

Does anyone know when scholarship information typically goes out for UW? UW is my number one choice but Iowa has offered full tuition and Minnesota has offered 73% off tuition so it makes things more complicated than I would like them to be.

In via email 12/30 and officially got my letter in the mail... super stoked about the acceptance but I didn't get any mention of money... Is this normal? Did anyone get money in their acceptance letter?

I didn't. I'm guessing it's normal, as I don't hear of UW giving much merit aid, anyway. I'm guessing it all comes in a need-merit package after applying for financial aid.

I received an email that informed me of a scholarship letter on the way in the mail and it included a copy of the letter in the email. For those wondering about scholarships.

Oh, good to know, thanks. How long after your acceptance did that arrive?

I was accepted Dec. 30 and received a scholarship offer via email today, and they are snail mailing a hard copy. So just over a week for me and I haven't turned in any scholarship or need based solicitations either. Looks like it varies a bit!

I solicited a waiver and was rejected. LSAT well above 75th, GPA between median and 75th.

Just got the email. Should be an interesting choice considering I have no problem staying in Wisco. Gotta love the lake-life...
