Top Law Schools

Instead of searching through each school's topic, I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of all schools' (first) deposit deadlines and admitted students' weekends. Hopefully others will contribute with information from schools to which they've been accepted so we can start planning ASW trips and stuff a little more easily!

Dont know about deposit aside from ED deposit due 1/15

Harvard's deposit deadline is May 1, and the amount is $500.

Just an idea: I think we should also use this thread to post how much each school is willing to reimburse admits for traveling to its ASW.

St. John's seat deposit $750 due April 1st.

ASD TBA

Awesome post. Tagged, thank you!

Good idea! I go to school in the northeast and Stanford offered up to $400 for a roundtrip ticket and $25 for travel from the airport to campus. Not bad!

I apologize if this is out of the scope of the thread, but...
What is the policy with putting in multiple deposits? Is it just one of those things where if you have the money, it'll buy you some extra time? Or are you locking yourself into certain schools by showing an intent to enroll, barring (at the very least, I'm assuming) an acceptance off another school's waitlist? I ask because I could be waiting until May, at the latest, to hear back from a fellowship offer. If I need to request a deferral, this may screw up any merit aid, and so it'd be nice not to be committed to one school for sure.

I'll definitely add the stipend information for schools I know and whatever you guys add.

Seancooksey -- I put the Vandy deposit date as the ASW. Whoops, sorry.

Brunonian -- since you mentioned coming from the NE, does the Stanford stipend depend on where you're coming from? I don't want to get anybody too excited over the prospect of sort-of free $425 haha.
