I'm still waiting on 10 schools so I'm debating if I should try and update my application with Why essays and Diversity Statements and shit like that. If it's just my GPA is too low then well whatever nothing I can do about that.
There is no gpa floor. I was offered money with a lower GPA. I did submit a diversity statement and an addendum with my app.
Are you a URM? Was your LSAT higher? WE/super sorts? OOS?

I'm an in state UMR. >2.2 GPA, <172 LSAT. International work and volunteer experience.

How long after being accepted did people receive scholarship info? And is it by mail or email?

S/He's going to law school, why would you expect him to be able to read? (sarcasm)

I was held from ED. Nothing here.

I guess it's just been a horribly slow week? LSN only has 1 admit, 1 waitlist, and 1 ding this week.

rkspurs21 · Post by **rkspurs21** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:04 pm

same, as a held ED applicant. Guessing it's been a busy week, just not on the actual decisions front.

Does UT seldom offer fee waivers? I didn't apply to my own alma mater because of this lol. Or do they do something similar to Columbia, and wait until the final weeks to gratuitously hand them out?

I know they offered fee waivers to all in-state applicants early in the admissions process (Sept/Oct).

I got a fee waiver email the day after I applied

I got one (OOS) back in October but the e-mail said that applications must be in before November 1. I missed that deadline and was prepared to pay but LSAC indicated that the fee was waived.

Yes, it is considering they've had my app for 3 months.

Does anyone know when and how scholarship offers come?

Ron Don Volante · Post by **Ron Don Volante** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 4:34 pm

another friendly reminder to check your spam folder for scholarship emails. No way I would have ended up at UT had I not noticed the letter had been sitting there for a month.

Month-ish after decision, via email.

Checking in here. Submitted my app on 1/20 and still waiting for results.

I am an international student but currently attending my undergraduate school in Houston.

I LOVE TEXAS.

I also got the email to write a why UT. Went complete mid December, out of state

rkspurs21 · Post by **rkspurs21** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 1:32 pm

Three months this week since I was rolled over from ED. It was my first application submitted. Not a word since then. I'm hoping the Why Texas requests mean we'll all see some movement soon.
