Vanderbilt Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[Thomas Hagan, ESQ.]

lol what....most ridiculous thing i've read.

i've been accepted at higher ranked schools, and they'd have to give me nearly a full ride, plus it's been like 3 months of radio silence. how is that bad?

Here's why:

1. You lose nothing by waiting. If it's really "not worth it to wait" then I don't get why you're agonizing over it lolol
2. People have waited longer than you. I heard back after almost 4 months.

I never expressed agony, just annoyance. I could potentially free up a spot for someone who wants to attend. Worth more than waiting to ultimately not go there.

Got a $110K scholarship. I was expecting $120K-ish based off of last year's data.

Huh... I haven't seen anything yet, guess they aren't coming out all at the same time. When were you admitted?

11/18. Holding out for the merit awards!

I mean if you got into high ranked schools, couldn't hurt waiting to see how much $ you would get a notably generous school!

Congrats! Found your LSN, looks like you had an awesome cycle. You think Vandy's your move?

Thanks so much! I've had some lucky breaks this cycle, but Vandy is definitely a top contender. I'm attending ASW this month to see if it's a good fit.

Kind of perplexed about the $110K offer, though. Seems like most people with my stats last year got $125K. Anyone want to extrapolate what's going on?

Maybe they also started off with $110k but negotiated up to $125k!

We're numbers twins and I haven't heard a peep from Vandy at all Congrats though

I think Hagan might be right. If you look at the 110K crew last cycle, decent amount of 170s in there

I did the same thing - better schools, and honestly probably better offers. I am admittedly a little curious as to what I would have gotten, but my chances of actually attending were slim to begin with.

How do you withdraw an app currently in review? Pretty sick of waiting for Vandy as well - just wish I could get a refund lol.

I didn't withdraw from an app UR with Vanderbilt, but I did with U of I - I just emailed them to say that I wished to withdraw my application from review. I got an email back wishing me the best of luck and that was that.

[imtca]

Just got my scholarship info as well!

[2000andBeyond]

Do you think it's worth emailing with a polite "It's been 15 weeks since I applied. Is everything ok?"

[brinicolec]

Why can't I get scholly info tooooo lol

[RedPurpleBlue]

Scholly!

[RedPurpleBlue]

Got a $110K scholarship. I was expecting $120K-ish based off of last year's data.

Got $80k, was expecting $90-$105k based on last years data. The pool must definitely be stronger.

[gizmo1024]

$90k. Pretty happy! Hopefully can negotiate more.

[pizzagoblin]

Based off of LSN, looks like $110K was the largest amount awarded thus far today, even for people with 170+ and 3.9+. Is this the new threshold? What's Vandy's reputation for negotiation?

[proteinshake]

$110K even though I got more with lower numbers last year lol

Maybe those people will get offers t interview for the merit awards?

[amberb94]

So if we applied for the law scholars merit scholarship and we get that, will it replace this one?

[Thomas Hagan, ESQ.]

Received scholly info today! Will definitely look to negotiate!

[Future Ex-Engineer]

I'm thinkingg that for people who are offered VLMSA interviews, their offers will come after that. (at least I'm telling myself that's why I haven't gotten my offer email yet)

[whodareswins]

$90k. Pretty happy! Hopefully can negotiate more.
