Top Law Schools

I don't think this thread exists anywhere so I figured I'd create it. I think a place to collect information on when $$$ decisions start coming in from schools is a good thing. I've excluded HYS from this list because they don't dole out any merit aid. I'll update as people post on here. The amount of money people are receiving isn't necessarily important, though differentiating between named scholarships (Hamiltons, Butlers, Darrows, etc.) and just plain old merit aid might be.

The format in which the $$$ communication comes could be useful information as well, so I'll include that too.


Columbia - Hamiltons and Butlers being granted with RD acceptances via regular mail

NYU - ongoing, email

Chicago - ongoing, email

Berkeley - Matching Program awards ongoing, email

Michigan - ongoing, regular mail & phone call (for Darrows)

Virginia - Dean's scholarships with acceptances (via phone call), more to come in March/April

Penn - Levy/Wilson scholarships being awarded via email (and follow-up snail mail)

Duke - Mordecai invites are out, decisions pending; Other scholarship offers are ongoing via regular mail

Northwestern - ongoing, email

Cornell - Dean's scholarships being awarded via snail mail

Georgetown - ongoing, email

UT: Week after acceptance

Vandy: Not yet

I think that NU releases merit-based scholarships along with its first batch of RD decisions, which are scheduled for this week.

This is a good idea for a thread, btw.

According to Chicago's twitter feed, there should be some scholarship offers later this month.

I thought columbia's offers came with the acceptance letter, do they not?

edit: also, my Darrow invite came on 12/21 - I believe this was true for others as well. i got an extension on the essay though so I can't say when the decisions come

A few people heard back last week, I think, with full Darrows. It's in the big Michigan thread, and maybe they'll post in here.

Yep....I'll oblige. First set of invites came on 12/16 and the first batch of Darrow offers (based on these inviteS) were made on 1/8.

myself and a few others received Dean's scholarships from UMich this week also.

I need that little dot next to this thread so I can keep up, lol.


I also need these schools to bring me some good news.

yup, tag here too. just to contribute something, u penn told me yesterday that they will be sending out their first $ offers within "a few weeks."

UVA releases most of the scholarship information sometime in March. Last year it was after the final ASW. I say most because I seem to remember some people getting dean's scholarships earlier.

Weekly bump to see if any other schools have begun to dole out merit $$. Did Northwestern give anything out to people last week?

Nope NW will wait for the need access forms to be completed before offering any money. I saw that Penn sent out invites for the Wilson/Levy scholarships though.

Duke starts reviewing scholarship information in mid January, and checking the thread from last year the first person to report scholarship money was mid February.

.

I haven't heard anything but I also want to tag this thread. Excellent work crackberry!

Cornell - NOT YET

Michigan - NOT YET

Fordham - NOT YET

So fat these are the only schools I've gotten into. As I hear any information or get any other decisions I'll be sure to update my post!

Nothing new to report here...c'mon schools PLEEEAAASE give me something!

I think USC is a not yet? Have they sent anything besides Rothman invites?

Duke has sent out Mordecai interview invitations on a rolling basis since November. Interviews just started; haven't heard of a scholarship being given out yet though.
