Just prepare a little "Why Law, Why Georgetown" spiel. Mine was quite relaxed and down to earth.

You know, for all the hate Georgetown gets on this forum...

We've got by far the largest "X School 2010" thread.

Does anyone know if Georgetown gives scholarships for part time students?

ACCEPTED (via admitted students website)! DR on 3/8.

Still waiting on NYU. But I have a back-up plan now.

Wait, why would they waitlist 171/3.83?...
There haven't been any new acceptances on LSN since January, maybe they've accepted as many people as they're going to until enough people withdraw for slots to open up.

I got accepted in late February. I thought I updated LSN.

No, they don't give need grants or merit aid for part time students. At least that's what they said at the info session I went to in September.

Thanks for the answer. I had a feeling since the scholarship application form mentioned it was only for full time students.

According to the official ABA/LSAC data, they gave grants and/or scholarships to 10 part time students (2.6% vs 34% of FT students)

they are looking at it again.

In all seriousness, they're probably approaching a decision within the week.

That'd be awesome. I just hope it's a good decision.

I assume that when people log into the admitted students site before they are officially notified, they are doing so using the same login/password from the status checker?

That said, I just responded to the email with a pretty caustic note saying basically, "does this mean I'm not being considered for merit-based aid? If so, please let me know so I can withdraw immediately and free up my spot for someone else." It was actually a little tougher than that, too. We'll see how they respond.
Ballsy--love it! You'll have to let us know how they respond.
Not that ballsy, given my other offers. I'll let you guys know how they respond on Monday.

Crackberry, did they ever respond?

I'm curious in general if anyone has heard anything since the generic "we'll update you around March 10" e-mail. (I got a follow-up from a real person asking for more info, but no interview or anything.)
