Money is always generous so I can't complain! But I will concede that it is on the smaller side. You can PM me if you want details! I'd just rather not totally out myself on here :)

Received scholarship offer - generous, but received almost twice as much from higher ranking schools, as well as from USC. Seems a little on the low side.

For those receiving their offers and seriously considering UCLA, current students advised USC offers are the best to negotiate with. I'd assume any offers from Berkeley would be good for negotiating as well. They said that UCLA wasn't too responsive to offers from schools outside California (even if similarly ranked).

This would be helpful if USC hadn't clearly lost my application lol

I haven't even looked at it today I'm pretty proud of myself! Though that might be because I spent 95% of my day being confused in Washington D.C.

Also just got an email and freaked out but it was something useless from my sorority. Fingers crossed for scholly from UCLA for me tomorrow! :mrgreen:

Hopefully with some of you guys withdrawing they'll consider, you know, reviewing my app. That would be a nice change.

Just got the scholly email. Not real generous (not surprised), but plan on negotiating if/when I hear back from USC.

I guess they didn't all come out at once then? Time to keep refreshing...

No scholarship email for me today. Hoping tomorrow! I saw many people were accepted months later, so I wonder if there's any process behind how they are awarding.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Does this apply to T14 schools? UCLA's offer was generous, but with merit and need combined, it is still not enough to convince me to move across country.

I think I've heard before that they don't really care about T14 offers or acceptances except for Berkeley. I know a girl that goes there now, so I'll ask her and report back

Is it too early to start negotiating right away?

Really hoping for scholarship information tomorrow.
