Drat, you're right. But only for the first option. The respective second options don't overlap.

ETA: I don't know anything about stipends. Sorry.
I thought NYU's was 26-27 too?

Also congrats everyone! Any names scholarships yet??

Oops! I had it wrong in the NYU c/o 2018 post. That's what I get for trusting myself and not going back to the source. I take back everything I said. :(

But congrats to those getting emails!!

Congrats everyone! I wonder if these acceptances are just going to trickle in all day?

So, I didnt track completion dates... but I submitted 10/1/14. Also, non-URM. My info is listed on LSN--although I dont want to officially link my LSN and TLS accounts.

Either way, with my LSAT I thought I was a Columbia goner. I've been walking around with a huge grin all day at work. I think my coworkers think I've finally cracked.

Can't stop refreshing.

We are sure this is a trickle and not a group of admits sent at the same time, right?

How can we really know?! Maybe they are still snail mailing some people? There's no rhyme or reason with them...

Mine didn't mention scholarship information, but digging through the materials on the accepted students page seems to suggest that Butlers and Hammys are only given at time of acceptance which means we are out of luck. It is my guess that all these early acceptances are to applicants who are not getting scholarships (and who, largely, did not interview).

That doesn't preclude receiving merit aid through negotiation.

If those admitted today could share their email arrival times, that would be great!

In the past, named scholarships came at the time of acceptance and everything else came later. No scholly in mine, sadly...just a short personalized note.

Admitted today! Email came at 12:28 ET. Submitted 11/17, complete 12/03, no interview, LSAT at 25th, GPA>75th.

Super shocked, but excited!

Got the email at 12:33 -- no interview, complete 11/19. No scholarship info, which is a bummer. Oh well, I'll take the acceptance!

That's what I was thinking. But no one on LSN or TLS is reporting money, and some with sufficient numbers for Hamilton.

Maybe the email portion didn't have scholarship info and it's coming later with the mailed version? Hoping this is true.

Anyone else above 75th LSAT and above median GPA not get scholarship info in the email as well?
I'm 175/3.87, borderline scholarship numbers, and got nothing.

I am wondering if they are literally scanning people's letters, attaching them to the right email addresses manually, and then snail mailing them.

Could be labor intensive and error prone.

I get the impression this is what's happening, just looking at the time span and the email.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
