And here I am just hoping I get in, probably paying sticker

Might just open up their package and find $178k inside one day. Never know

I need to date someone with your attitude. Made me smile even though I know of its impossibility <3

Yeah it was just an additional letter in the envelope. Kind of surprised me!

Congrats on the scholarship!! Did you write a why UVA? My application is at UR2 (submitted about two weeks ago) now but there is no interview request yet. Just realized UVA has this huge yp thing... wondering whether it might be a good idea to email them a why UVA over the weekend?!

I didn't write a Why UVA letter. My app went complete 10/17, interviewed around 11/11, status checker changed to admitted a few days later.

Thanks!! I guess I'll have to be more patient then lol

[cathy95]

Thanks a lot for the info! Didn't do enough research before submitting the app, but I do like UVA a lot so hopefully an extra why essay won't be counterproductive in any way...also hopefully I do get to interview eventually
Also if you don't mind sharing—when did you apply and what was the timeline like? (for example for UR1, UR2 and interview, if you were keeping track)

Submitted 10/21, RD complete soon thereafter, interview offer 11/16, admitted at the end of the interview today (11/18)

Thank you!! Looks like they're pretty fast, hope I'll get there soon

Just googled it-- apparently baseball bats and softball bats are different. Huh.

I legit think I should make my 0L prep just playing softball. haha

Dillard was actually secretly an athletic scholarship for softball

Do we know what sort of grades it takes to get NYC big law from UVA? Median-ish?

since that's the easiest market, I'm sure there are plenty of people below median who get NYC.

how did you do the "interests and hobbies" section? I have enough room to list them, but not describe them (it's only 200 characters).

I just listed them and put a descriptive position title on some if necessary/room allows. Don't forget to list softball

By way of contrast, I put mine in the form of a short paragraph. I'm sure they see all different sorts of formats, so don't worry as long as it is clear.

Note that popped collars are also an obligatory interest, so don't forget to include that as well.

To those that received Dillards or other merit scholly...
Do you know if you can defer a year and still get full merit scholarship?
Last year Dillards were $171k, this year around $178k

I know it's possible, from LSN, but think it varies from person to person. It def adjusts to that year's tuition and fees, so I don't see why they wouldn't let you defer if you were a compelling enough applicant.

[brinicolec]

For section 12 of the app (Activities and Interests), when it asked for you to list the activities in order of importance, specify length, role, etc., did you all just C&P from your resume and rearrange in order of importance (leave bullet form, all of that) or did you all write in paragraph form?

The year to year adjustment will happen, so I wouldn't worry, but if you think that this is likely I'd reach out to them at some point soon. I was thinking of doing the same and I know that merit scholarships can't always just be postponed for a later year. I'm sure you're treated differently though bc it's Dillard - so it's 100% worth a shot but I'd also make sure that if they say yes that you have it in writing haha

For those accepted, did you just get a simple envelope in the mail with logistical details? I got accepted during my interview with Dean Faulk, but I guess I was expecting a more detailed packet than the fairly basic letter that came... Does more come later, or is that it? lol
