Someone post some pics of the campus/city/law school that I can ogle while I wait for my acceptance packet.

Uh...I don't know if you want to see pics of the law school. Mondale Hall/the whole West Bank of campus is not exactly what I'd call beautiful; it was built in 60s/70s and looks the part (source: 75% of my classes were on that part of campus). East Campus is pretty though, and obv the whole city is verdant and gorgeous. The law school's library is a good place for being productive, and if you want the Ivy-style collegiate reference room the science library is open and beautiful (and pretty quiet).

Edit: DAMMIT NOW I'M ALL NOSTALGIC AND IT'S AFFECTING MY DECISION-MAKING.

Acceptance packet just came in the mail. Pretty cool folder with a window decal in it, but Dan told me on the phone that they're offering me 30k/yr, and the letter says 28. Womp womp.

Just an FYI, tried negotiating Scholly $$$ with UMN and they politely told me that the maximum I would receive from them was my initial offer.

Good to know. Happy with my initial offer but more is always better

I think we have pretty similar numbers and that was my offer too. Where are you located/ when did they call you? Trying to gauge when I can hope to recieve the package.

stats plz?

edit: dream weave if you dont mind yours as well?

Below 25% GPA at/above median LSAT

[historicrep]

Minnesota just informed me that they do not negotiate scholarships, and that they present their best offer at time of admission.

Understandable but disappointing. 3.3/167, for those interested.

I have a tough decision to make.

Hey, so I was running the numbers provided for living expenses in the loans and it seems pretty light that for everything including rent living food etc they only give 12500 for a year! How am I supposed to live off of that little for everything including food rent bills and still manage to go out?

1L.....go out.....lol

But really its for 9 months and COL in Minny is cheap.

Assuming $650/month for rent (completely reasonable), $200/month for utilities (generous), and $300/month for food (generous), that still leaves you almost $250/month or ~$65/week for "going out." You'll survive.

They sent me the email with the info to the admitted students site, and either I am doing something wrong, or the login they gave me does not work. Anyone else ran into similar problems?

Same here. Tried at a couple of points throughout the day, but no dice. I'll call them tomorrow if it continues.
