Congrats!!

I got a letter in mine for a merit scholarship..more like a little nod than a scholarship but I'll take it. I'm a Philly resident too, so I guess we're in the same boat. I think I've heard one or two people in here mention they got scholarship info subsequent to their packet though...

Thanks!! Will update if I receive anything with the packet.

I'll shoot out an email to my professors, make sure I can miss class (I'm graduating, whatever, haha) I'll PM you and let you know if I'm going.

I got accepted in January (168 / 3.9) with a $5000/renewable scholarship (in-state). Temple's my first choice, but I was really hoping for more help (especially since my financial need is considerably high--I'm independent, married, three kids, low income, etc.)...

I negotiated with Temple for weeks (had a free ride at Chicago-Kent to leverage), but they just wouldn't budge. Anyone think it's worth petitioning them again after more Ivy-bound candidates withdraw (and leave their scholarship offers behind)? I'd love even a couple more thousand dollars...

I'll be at the Admitted Students Open house next weekend--maybe I'll catch a couple of you there.

yeah, that is crazy how you only got 5k. What other offers do you have? Maybe Temple's reasoning for low schollies is either a. they do not have the money b. if you want to work in Philly, but do not goto penn, temple is the best option. c. they just don't care, and are perfectly content with only slightly raising the median, so your stats are just as good as a 164/3.7.

Villanova is just as good an option as Temple

I sent two emails requesting more money - neither one got a response.

Anybody can send an email half drunk at their homes to tons of schools. I believe nothing is more sincere than arriving in person and speaking face to face.

How do ppl here feel about the villanova scandal? Is it changing your mind and making a stronger case for temple?

Not at all.

I don't think firms/recruiters will care enough to stop recruiting at Nova.

Crazy4lawzzz · Post by **Crazy4lawzzz** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 2:36 pm

but it does mean that temple has better admissions scores right?

Crazy4lawzzz · Post by **Crazy4lawzzz** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 2:36 pm

So most ppl here consider them equals for the most part then?

Who cares? They place the same... Villanova actually does slightly better with Biglaw.

I can't speak for most people, but I certainly do.

And from what I can see in/around Philly, many recruiters/companies do too.

I just might go to that reception next week. I'm losing interest in Temple, but I'm always up for some free wine.

for me, it is. we can only know the full effect of the nova scandal on employment a few years from now and i'd rather not take any chances.
