BC is stingy as fuck. If you get offers from similarly ranked schools, do not hesitate to negotiate! W&M and ND were my bargaining chips. Sticker=financial suicide.

Just got a WL email =/

Does BC negotiate? I'm wondering if it is still too early in the game to negotiate?

I'm @ the 75th LSAT and above the 75th GPA, and have not heard a damn thing about scholarship. Come on....... Come on..........

Basically same stats for me too. This is killing me because I want to use BC against BU and then BU against ND. I am considering all of them, but at this point BC is losing any chance it has with such a long scholarship wait and solid offers from BU and ND.

Please don't quote.

+1. Last school I'm waiting for. Unless their offer is stellar, then it's getting too late for serious consideration.

Just sent this email...

"Thank you for all the information about visiting BC Law. I will be visiting on March 26th. Do you know if financial aid and any potential scholarship information will be available by that time? I would like to meet with admissions or financial aid to discuss options when I am there, since the deposit deadline is approaching quickly.

Thank you,
--"

I guess this could sabotage my scholly chances a bit....(thoughts?) but come on, I applied in November. And I got a great scholly offer from BU months ago. Step up your game, BC!

I'm at 75th LSAT and way above 75th GPA and I got waitlisted. Count your blessings. And yet, BU offered me 35k/year. It seems like BC has no rhyme or reason to their decision-making this year. It seems like they are really low-balling well-qualified applicants. I don't see this working out well for them.

I'm above 75 GPA and between 25 and median LSAT and they gave me 16k a year.

[BULLSHARK6]

Accepted via E-mail on Monday! Really excited about this one. Won't be able to attend admitted students day but I wish I could. Sent an RSVP to let them know I can't make it. Looking on here it seems like scholarships have been trickling in for earlier admits. Anyone see how past years have fared?

[tcar29]

Someone posted over on the BC Law Class of 2018 thread that their merit scholarship award went directly to spam. Checked my spam folder that day and the email with my award was there, it might be in everyone else's spam folders as well!

[Iwanttolawschool]

At 50th <LSAT <75th, Well above 75th GPA. Havent heard about scholarship yet. Not in spam.

[Moneytrees]

Close to 75 percentile in LSAT/GPA, still haven't heard anything. Applied in November. This is getting ridiculous.

[bob311]

Just got a 20k a year offer.

[lane]

I finally got my scholarship offer after being accepted back in October. It went to my spam folder, and I only noticed it because I had to check my spam folder for a completely different email.

[Dr. Nefario]

Just got a 20k a year offer.

[pbk2015]

20k/yr

[whitespider]

20k a year as well. Will be withdrawing.
