Tonight is going to be a long night for me, knowing a decision has been made but not knowing what the decision is!

Just got the scholarship info via email! It's a generous offer given my stats, so I am a little bit surprised. PM for details

Are Scholarships still going out? For those who see theirs, is it also on the financial aid site.

After logging into ASW, you click admissions page and then go to enrollment checklist.The scholarship decision letter is under strongly recommended section of the enrollment checklist.

No scholly info for me either :(. LSAT >75 and median GPA.

For those who received the scholarship email, did you already submit your FAFSA? Wondering if this affects timing.

Did anyone who applied for the Rothman get a scholarship? If so, did the letter mention the Rothman?

Has anyone gotten more than 120,000?? According to LSN that's the highest so far.. 171 with a 3.68, 170 with a 3.7 got 120,000.. I would have thought they would get 150,000 to even consider USC..

I did submit my FAFSA and didn't get the email. ETA: it seems they are still going out today... so we'll see.

I wonder if schools are purposefully leaving a lot of room for negotiation this cycle because they expect a lot of it due to the dip in applications and high scoring applicants? Because I feel like a lot of the offers I've seen across the board are lower than I would expect.

It's more likely that there was an increase in applicants to top 20 schools. Overall there was a decrease but it's not proportional as lower ranked schools get hammered here.

Source for this information? My understanding was there are fewer applicants all around, and certainly fewer with high LSATs.

Echoing Dipper, do you have a source for that? Because I haven't seen Spivey mention it in any of their reports. Besides even if there's an overall increase in applicants in T20, applicants above 170-174 are down more than 11% and applicants 175 and up are down more than 20%, so I would still expect high scorers to be getting bigger offers.
