Does anyone know when the USD Financial Aid form is due?

I don't know, but it asks for USD Law School ID, and i haven't been admitted yet, so kinda hard to turn it in

Someone very early on in this thread asked the admissions office about that ID field and they said to just leave it blank and send it in.

are you supposed to fill out and turn in this form even though you haven't been admitted yet?
[edit] nvm, it is to be filled out and sent in after admission.

Hey, if anyone else is interested in meeting up, send me a PM!

I'll be doing the panel, try and guess which one I am!

I totally sat next to you at lunch, I think...

[Veritas]

went to the ASD today at USD (met some v. cool people)

employment stats are coming in at 92% employed at graduation for 2009 (no breakdown on the type of work except 4% in grad programs)

umm, the talked about the weather a lot, and I mean it was like their #1 selling point it seemed.

Professors seem really awesome, tbh. Good community feel from the students and the profs, everyone was pretty engaging.

Career services seems really gung-ho. The lady in charge of Career services is really impressive. NU grad, Jones Day associate and recruiter - very cool lady.

If there was something that really impressed me, it would have to be the sense of community. It also felt like students are really well supported. I heard more than once about academic support being really excellent and career services has adjusted to the current market (trying to reach USD grads into other markets, like a LA hiring program)

Scholarships are kind of in a hold pattern right now, waiting for deposits. They do plan on sending out more. Also, if you do well your first year you can get full tuition for second and third year (like if you end up in the top 10% or so and keep it up). If you end up falling out of the top 10% your scholarship goes back to whatever scholarship bracket you fall in to.

While at the end of the day I was able to decide that USD prolly isn't going to be my school of choice, I think it's a terrific institution and one that will serve you well in San Diego and So Cal, in general.

Yeah, I was glad to have some cool people to talk to with tls as the icebreaker. I don't care what the lsn creepers say, you're all right.

I have no idea I'm still waiting on about five schools that can make a difference. But with my current options, I would choose BU, ND and CU over USD.

Sounds like you've got a lot to think throught, but those are all great choices. Good luck wherever you end up!

Beautiful school, seems to do quite alright in San Diego. Though during the last panel of students, the two 3L's scared me with not having jobs lined up.

Do many people hold your views expressed in your religion/gay marriage thread at USD?

You seemed like quite a nice person on the panel, but now...................................

Anyone know when the first deposit is for USD and if most of their decisions will be made by then?

[uwb09]

FYI

I e-mailed in the financial aid application form from their website, and I got this response

"xxxxx, this form will be provided to you upon admittance and it is best to submit it at that time because you are not in our financial aid system. Thank you. "

[msbeautifulbasham]

Deposit is Due April 15

Also, there is no deadline for the Institutional Financial Aid Application.

Pretty sure you need to turn it in before June 1

OK, that might be true. Thanks for clearing that up for everyone. I just meant no immediate deadline. I called USD to ask if there a deadline for that form, and they said there wasn't. He said the only deadline I need to worry about is that March 2 (today) is the priority deadline for adding USD to your FAFSA.

i've been complete since 01/20. (3.3, 163, non-URM). does this seem normal? i'm sure it is and i'm just being overly anxious...
also, does usd prefer california residents?

I have about the same numbers as you and I've been complete since 1/13... I hope it's normal! I think, at this point, it's okay to be overly anxious. I know I am!

good luck!!
