Wait you got your acceptance in 3 days? That's amazing!afrade wrote:Submitted my app 11/18, went complete 11/21 and received my acceptance 11/21 (by email titled, 'Miami Law: Acceptance Notification' and in status checker).

What has been anyone else's experience?

When does scholarship information come out...that seems like too quick of a turnaround time for them to have $$ info..
Right?! And the 2 days in between were Saturday and Sunday... I was so surprised. It does seem quick for $$ notification, however, I saw on LSN that some people received a call from the dean the next day with a scholarship offer. Of course I've also read that some people never received the call and got the info in the mail a few weeks later, but it seems as if the norm is getting a call. I also saw people on LSN who got $$ with about the same scores (or significantly below me in LSAT and above me in GPA). Who knows! Definitely can't even consider UM at sticker price though.Thomas Hagan, ESQ. wrote:Wait you got your acceptance in 3 days?

Congrats on the full ride! That's awesome for UM. Are you seriously considering it?aaron1621 wrote:Im 161 3.82 I submitted back in September, got my decision with a week and a fully scholarship with the decision.Thomas Hagan, ESQ. wrote:Wait you got your acceptance in 3 days?

That's insane! I'm pretty sure you'll get scholarship information in the mail, there's no way you should have to pay sticker for UM with your numbers. I would hang tight and enjoy the holidays, knowing that your $$$ is coming in the mail.afrade wrote:Right?! And the 2 days in between were Saturday and Sunday... I was so surprised.

Fingers crossed that things were hectic because of the holiday and they'll call me this week, haha. Congrats on your offers! I'm sure you can negotiate with UM a little later in the cycle.jag13 wrote:I submitted the Friday it opened and Monday morning had an acceptance call from Dean with hefty scholarship. You'll most definitely get $$$ as your stats were higher than mine. I did just get in to UGA and given their low tuition, even with scholarship at UM they are still more expensive. So I may go back to Miami to try and negotiate.

Congrats again on the acceptance!
Same here. I got in last Monday and haven't heard anything in the way of scholarships. I also figured they might do phone calls this week.afrade wrote:Fingers crossed that things were hectic because of the holiday and they'll call me this week, haha. Congrats on your offers!

My packet from UM didn't say anything either. Did you notice on one of the sheets it said scholarship info should come in like 3-4 weeks?? Like why can't they just make some calls.afrade wrote:So, I finally got the acceptance packet in the mail... nothing in terms of $$ mentioned in it. Did anyone who got the call about $$ have it mentioned in the packet? I got into FIU after UM and they already told me I have a 74% scholly.. what's up UM?!
I just saw that on the back of that one sheet.. I had just glanced over it before. Seriously! It's frustrating that some people get a call the day of or day after being admitted. What's the consensus on calling them about it tomorrow? Lolstratton_oakmont wrote:My packet from UM didn't say anything either.

Nice!! Where's my phone call?!? What are your stats? You can PM me or just ignore the questionstratton_oakmont wrote:Phone call from the dean this morning with a 100% scholarship offer
Congratulations!!afrade wrote:Finally got the phone call! Stratton-- our apps are seriously in sync haha.. Deans scholly (40K/year)
lmao the coincidence is crazyNice, congrats! I'm definitely going to try and negotiate with them to get it upped... $40k/year is nice, but free is nicerlonola wrote:Still nothing in the mail but got the call yesterday and > 100%! This suddenly makes Miami much, much more attractive.
