I applied a month ago with only two LORs because I never expected to need three. So I scrambled and was able to get a third, which got to them the other day and now I'm in review. I have to say, three LORs is excessive. I bet a lot of people just don't apply because of that.

I've talked with their admissions dean and she begs to reduce it to 2, but the faculty refuses to budge on 3. I agree that it sucks, my 3rd one I got was almost totally irrelevant.

hey chip did you receive your admit letter yet in the mail? btw im surprised your not out day drinking right now with this beautiful weather!

Lol, my mail lady runs at like 3 in the afternoon so I have to check when I get home. Also, I have a class necessary for me to graduate on Wednesdays or I'd be doing that.

Finally got the letter today, only 8k/year which is half of in-state tuition for me. It was going to take a full scholarship for me to even consider, so I guess it's so long Morgantown

damn they did you dirty. this definitely doesn't make me feel confident about my chances for a large scholarship anybody know have an idea how WVU is about negotiating scholarships?

[wvu]

6k/year, actually, now that I take a second look at it.

So... yeah. Good luck everyone else.

[ggibelli]

In with 10k a year. out of state though so i really cant be happy about it. gonna try and negotiate for sure

[89vision]

About how long have people stayed in review until they received a decision?

I'm in the same boat as you. How are you going to try and negotiate?

I got no $. Above 75% for GPA and LSAT.......not sure what happened there. Think I am going to withdraw my acceptance at this point.

Well that was a fake out! The scholarship offer came in a 2nd envelope a few days later. $15K/year with 3.0 stip. Essentially waives OOS tuition. Maybe now a consideration.

ggibelli--I read that yours came with your acceptance, so that is what I was expecting.

Withdrew. Bye Morgantown.

Withdrew. Bye Morgantown.

sad to see. i'm actually headed to morgantown this weekend. with the release of the Big 12 football schedule for next year, WVU Law is looking even more enticing!

Some one earlier asked this but did not get a reply and I am wondering also, how long did it take everyone to go from in review until a decision?

My application went complete about a week after I sent it and then into review about another week. Then it was in review for about 6 weeks. But maybe now since the cycle is coming to an end that decisions will come a bit more quickly as they won't be waiting to see what other apps they get.

Mine was that way too. Then I got a letter and a few days later the scholarship information.

Thanks! I guess I'll just have to endure the wait...

My acceptance came via status checker on 2/9 with an update that said an acceptance letter was mailed that day. It then updated to show a scholarship award letter mailed on 2/14, so I've basically been stalking my mail man for the last four days even though I know it's not coming until at least Monday.

Sorry to tell you but Monday is a postal holiday for President's Day. Go have fun until Tuesday - you have a whole 3 day weekend!

Same boat here... hopefully we'll see something soon.

Hey what does the law school building at WVU look like? Is it newer or older, does it have newer technology in place, is it close to the other buildings on campus? Like what is the setting of the law school building and how it compares to the rest of campus?
