This provides lots of good info, but is also INCREDIBLY misleading. current tuition is $29,900 for residents, $39,900 for non-residents.

signed, a 3L who just had a stroke over her tuition bill.

I say we'll here back probably by mid December. Sent in app on Friday as well. Although I plan to retake LSAT in December. If I end up attending UH, I'd really want some form of scholarships.

I was accepted last cycle with an LSAT slightly above median and a gpa near their 75th and did not get a scholarship. They are incredibly stingy, check LSN and don't expect any money unless your numbers are above and beyond.

They just confirmed I'm a resident of Texas. Hopefully, this is the start of the approval process.

I'm an OOSer, but Houston really looks like the place to be. Hoping they shell out a little coin to make it a little more reasonable financially, though...

Went under review today, so we'll see :-)

Very stingy when it comes to big schollys, to all those looking for moneys. Over 70% get some aid but only about 5% get half tuition or more.

I was looking at LSN though and some high LSATs with low GPAs get decent $$$. I guess it's because they appear to not play the game of giving them out to take them back...Oh well, both my numbers are above their 75% so we'll see what happens....

Probably a stupid question (and bad form for a first post), but does anyone know if UHLC and/or STCL offer scholarships for part-timers?

I've read that UH is pretty stingy, so I doubt my chances for extra cash are particularly good with just 163 and 3.43, but I'm an chemical engineer with 6.5 years experience in the upstream oil & gas industry, which might count for something.

Honestly, I've heard both are incredibly stingy, and it looks like, with your numbers, you're hitting at right about their medians so I wouldn't expect anything life changing. I don't think that work experience is a game changer when it comes to giving out scholly info but that's just my observation and I'm not totally sure so someone else might have more of a concrete answer. Nonetheless, best of luck to you!

Also, anyone know how long it takes for decisions to come? I just went under review too and I'd say maybe a couple of weeks? Not that I have any chance of getting accepted, but still it would lessen the anxiety considerably.

You should probably get about 10K a year and that offer probably won't come for another couple of months.

this question may or may not have an obvious answer, i don't know (the anxiety is getting to me), but does anyone know what classifies as URM at UH? just curious. is it just what is traditionally defined as URM in general?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
