As a philly resident who was accepted on 2/23 . . . . should I expect my acceptance letter (and scholarship info!) in the mail this afternoon when I get home?

Only if I, another Philly resident, can expect the same thing.

I'm in Montgomery County... where's my shit!?

It took me like 10 days to get the packet from Temple...

It only took it 2 days to get to me... odd.

"Congratuations on your acceptance to Villanova University School of Law."

I think they meant "congratulations"...but i'll take it

Waitlisted. Debating whether or not to hold out.

I posted earlier that Amy in admissions told me scholarship information will come later because the scholarship committee is more swamped than they were before. BUT looking on LSN and at old posts here, it looks like a lot of people got scholarship offers with their acceptance letter. Not really sure what to believe here...without a scholarship Nova is off the table for me and I would be bummed.
Someone else should call and ask again today. I have called too much for these admissions folks not to be annoyed :-\

I didn't get my scholarship info with the acceptance letter, I received the info (by email then by letter) about 2-3 weeks after I got in.

For anyone interested, the seat deposit ($250) deadline is April 15.

does anyone have recommendations on where to live? I hear that it's expensive near the school and less so as you move further away, but I honestly have zero knowledge of the Philly area

I live in King of Prussia, with a roommate; $500 per month covers everything except groceries.

15 minute drive to the school.

[beach_terror]

Villanova, Rosemont, Ardmore, Philly are going to be the most expensive. You can find a place in Havertown or Drexel Hill for considerably cheaper and not be too far away. There are a ton of backroads to get to Nova that allow you to miss rush hour traffic too.

I think you guys all missed the sarcasm in jlnoa's post too. Or maybe he's still bitter from getting owned by beach_terror in pifp pong.

I'm FINALLY in review!

+1 as a UG. I love the King of Prussia area, and regardless of where I go to school around Philly, I'll probably stay put and commute. I pay $750 a month rent, but I don't have a roommate so its kind of pricey.

Congrats!! But judging from your profile this doesn't really matter, right? I mean, VANDERBILT. That's pretty bomb.

Anyone who has been admitted in the last week or so gotten their admit packet yet?

Haha, I still want a decision!

[irishvt14]

I understand, plus there's probably some money in this one for you.
