Fiiiiiinally got my scholly email. $90k total.... it seems like Mich favors high LSATs for schollies, is that a fair assessment? I'm seeing people with higher LSATs but lower GPAs than me get much better offers than this (aka Darrow). 168/3.99 for reference.

My perception, which could definitely be wrong, is that Darrow is not really numbers-based much. The way it's described, it seems like there's probably an academic baseline but that beyond that they look at softs, essays, and LORs.

I got $90k as well, with a 171 but lower GPA. Selfishly was hoping for a little bit more, but I assume there's at least some chance they are willing to negotiate?

Got $90k as well. Sort of pleasantly surprised, as I didn't expect much from Michigan.

On Michigan admitted fb group they said if you were admitted end of December expect an email for financial aid at the end of the month. They also said if you don't get an offer, they will confirm that too.

CONGRATS! I feel like there should be a summer starters club. Sadly, now you have to join the rest of us in our wait for scholly info.

Submitted 11/18, went complete 12/13

Shoot, I can't remember which I said I preferred lol. But I was basically on the either/or train.

Not sure the high LSAT theory holds up.

Michigan doesn't require parental info for financial aid, correct?

I'm 175/3.7 with good softs and got 90k. Not sure the high LSAT theory holds up.

maybe they're just lowballing you because they expect people to negotiate?

Awesome! Thank you. Would you (or anyone) know if people actually get financial aid grants through fafsa, or if it's all loans?
