Mind if I ask your numbers? You can PM me if you want. I'm just wondering whether I should expect any $ based on what they've already given out.

When did you get your waitlist status update? The letter just briefly explains the waitlist and instructions to to email them additional materials.

They probably won't request anything else from LSAC so it won't get to them.

Probably a lost cause. My lsat and gpa are completely lacking.
You're my numbers twin and my status has been at file complete since then too. Oh well, at least I'm not alone.
Im somewhere around the numbers you two have and I have been stuck at file complete since 1/6 as well.

Sometimes no news really is good news...I hope :)

My status checker moved to "file in review 3/11". Fingers crossed.

U of H's numbers have been steadily climbing the last few years. I think thats true for a lot of the schools tho. I guess thats a good thing for the schools reputation.

I got 10K per year too, but I'm withdrawing... going to UT. Hopefully I'll open a spot for someone else.

That sounds weak. Do they post the scholarship info on the admission status page or is that supp to be in a separate email?

Houston moved to #56 in USNWR, with 75% employed at graduation compared with 66% at SMU. While these numbers are marginal in meaning they do make me feel significantly better about being held at SMU. See some of you at the ASW on the 25th!

I'm pleased UH is trending upward.

I won't be attending this ASW, because that day is actually my bachelor party.

I thought I had seen somewhere that they hold another one later in the year, does anyone know where to find that information? Maybe I just imagined that...

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
