Be wary of LSN. A lot of people don't update it, or they inflate their scholarship amounts, or may outright lie with some schools they are accepted or waitlisted at. Why? not sure. For example, I looked at one school I was waitlisted at(not Emory), and someone with the exact same credentials was accepted into the school with a 128k scholarship. individual is a caucasian male, nothing extraordinary about his background. Normal background like mine yet he gets a near fullride with the same stats as me. Thats why I am a little suspicious of LSN.

LSN doesn't necessarily capture everything though. Based on numbers alone I'm sure people think that I've lied or inflated numbers, but there's a lot of other stuff going on in my background that you wouldn't know from my LSN. Not sure how common that is, but I think in the case of splitters and non-traditional applicants, it can be difficult to judge. I guess that supports the "take it with a grain of salt" view, but I also wouldn't discard things too quickly.

Did the tuition for next year just go up or was I just looking at the wrong info before??

I could have sworn I recently saw sticker tuition listed at 48K or just about there, but I just looked on their website and tuition for 2015-2016 is listed at $50,900. http://law.emory.edu/admission/tuition- ... l-aid.html

I'm pretty sure that $50,900 is what they said at ASW

I didn't make it to ASW. So whatever I got before, I think I got out of my binder from my acceptance package.

Hm. Maybe what was in your acceptance package was last year's tuition, before they decided on 2015-2016 tuition? I'm not sure I'm just guessing here, but I definitely remember them saying at ASW that it was over 50k

I don't think there's any way to say for sure, but this should help give you an idea: http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/ ... osts/2013/

Thanks. I'm trying to decide between BYU and Emory and BYU is cheaper, but my husband would prefer to leave Utah. Trying to rank the pros and cons.

Anybody know the stips for scholarships?

TheProdigal · Post by **TheProdigal** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 10:01 am

Good academic standing = 2.25. If memory serves, no one list a scholarship last year.

For those who have emailed with the Dean, how long did it take for you to get a response?

Less than 24 hours. He was nice, but seemed very unwilling to negotiate

Yeah I actually wasn't emailing about the scholarship. Just had some questions about some programs at the school. I emailed a couple days ago but I emailed the jdadmissions email, not his personal email.

Email his personal address--when I did he responded in a few minutes.

Yes. I was denied.

I did yesterday and was told they can't give anyone extensions

Hispaniclaw · Post by **Hispaniclaw** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 8:25 pm

it seems like this Friday is the last day to visit the school. Anyone else on the waitlist planning on being there?

Charlie_Bradbury · Post by **Charlie_Bradbury** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 10:33 pm

Has anyone else who was waiting to hear their scholarship amount heard anything yet? I know it's been less than a day since the first deposit deadline passed, but I am anxious!

Congrats!

Just curious, did you submit a LOCI? I'm on the priority waitlist as well, and have not send one in yet.

I did not. From what I gathered at the Explore Emory event, a LOCI would not be particularly helpful and could even potentially hurt you if it's not very well done. When asked about it, the dean of admissions did not seem very high on it. What he expressed is that if you're on the waitlist, your file is already very good and that they will be making decisions based on gaps that need filling.

So just personally, I would not send them a LOCI. That is just me going off of the reaction he had when asked the question. It was kind of a 'ehhhh' response.

Thanks for the insight! Less work for me
