For those of you who were offered the Dean's Fellowship, was this your initial scholarship offer, or was the invitation sent at a later time? Rather, is there still hope for me (due to people declining the offer) if I haven't heard anything yet?

Completely separate (by a few months even) for me. Not sure if they'll be sending more or re-assigning declined offers or what though. Hang in there!

I am withdrawing now. As I got a full ride, this will throw some money back into the pot for you all. What is the protocol? Contacting admissions via their regular e-mail?

I believe I saw the option to withdraw in the same place where you go to pay your deposit online.

So the Dean's Fellowship is full tuition that adjusts based on the tuition amount of each year, not just a three-year scholarship in the amount of whatever tuition is for your 1L year? That piece alone is solid.

Changed my mind. Deposited at the last minute tonight.

All of my "Class of..." threads are full of Scotti. Everywhere I go, there's Scotti.

It's like "I'll go talk about Texas." and BAM. There's Scotti

I thought the same thing about Cornell. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

I hope I get more money soon so I can figure out how much rent I can afford without taking out too much in loans. On a side note, I'm going to really miss my dog when I move. She's got a good home lined up with people she knows, but still...

Dude lots of buildings in STL take dogs, this isn't NYC.

A lot of places in Clayton/Brentwood allow pets.

My dog is a 70 pound lab/pitbull mix tho and would wreck the place. She needs a big yard like she has now.

I have a 90lb Doberman. He's definitely influenced where I live. Gotta have a yard.

Damn! I hope that's close to the school or a bus, cause that is a really wonderful deal.

Having a hard time figuring that one out myself.

What email address did you guys send your scholarship negotiation to?

I sent mine to admiss@wulaw.wustl.edu and successfully negotiated an increase.

Been lurking for a couple weeks, finally decided to post as it seems very likely I shall join the ranks of wustluts with all of you next year!

For those of you who did not deposit, did you receive any communications Re scholarships or anything else?

[ojala]

For those of you who have negotiated for scholarships, did you wait until you heard from all schools or did you get started with what you had? In a weird situation where I am still waiting to hear back from many schools, waitlisted at others, and haven't heard back re: scholarships from some of the ones I got accepted to. So the only two significant money offers I've gotten are from schools I'm not sure WUSTL would consider its peer. Worth approaching them with it? Or should I wait for other offers? I feel like the longer I wait the less $ there will be to go around.

My advice: why not do both? By that I mean you could send your current offers and pending apps in a concise email (talk about your desire to attend, but cost concerns are holding you back, etc).

...See what happens....

And if you're not successful send them another email when you have a few more peer offers together. The admissions office is super chill and won't mind updates. Keep going until you succeed or get an explicit "no money for you" type message.

Don't freak out about money being all gone, that's not exactly how it works. They still give out scholarships to later applicants and waistlist-ers all the way thru the summer.

Good luck!
