HesitantSlowWhale
11:12
and now they just sent an email saying "didn't get a scholarhsip? just take out loans!" like ok thanks lol
HesitantSlowWhale
11:14
they also told me i dont need a scholarship bc they have a high bar passage rate.... i was so confused lmaooo
AspiringTenuousIbis
14:15
lmaoooo so crazy I wonder if they have always been like this or if they are trying something new this year
AspiringTenuousIbis
14:16
@HesitantSlowWhale: did they give you any $
HesitantSlowWhale
15:59
@AspiringTenuousIbis: zero dollars
any news if today is an A day from Belmont? Got an update on status checker says email w decision sent
nothing received yet
yeah I emailed them saying I had received full rides to two higher ranked institutions and they said they'd reconsider in spring after most people accept/withdraw to an institution

11:32
@GreatSelectiveDolphin: that's wild lmaoooooo
@AspiringTenuousIbis: Yep, and im a veteran so i have good softs as well. Very confusing
@HesitantSlowWhale: I like Belmont a lot too, I think they're a good school but if they're gonna hold out on me then I have 0 qualms about going somewhere else and spending much less money to get an arguably more prestigious degree.
HesitantSlowWhale
12:14
@GreatSelectiveDolphin: agreed. beautiful campus, students are cool, but i'll choose $150k less debt at a higher ranked school any day

also crazy that they wouldn't let you negotiate until after seat deposit bc they make you withdraw everywhere else when you pay their seat deposit so you'd literally be stuck
If that's the case thank God I haven't enrolled anywhere yet.

yeah its the fine print of their commitment agreement. a little predatory imo
hmmmm, most curious....
Well they agreed to bump me to full tuition, have not committed anywhere yet but I am likely to make a decision this next week.
got waitlisted smh
Thought maybe things would change this year for Belmont, but as an early applicant (accepted yesterday) I will confirm here that they haven't lol
50% scholarship conditional on top 75% of class. Just not a competitive offer, have a hard time believing this school will be able to compete given how bad these offers are/ how pushy they are towards getting you to deposit (already bombarded with emails since yesterday, maybe 5 emails total already)
@wealthofnations: wow. Am going to be applying soon and was super interested in them, but reading this thread has me super concerned they'll toss me a shitty offer lmao
You might stand a better chance for the full ride with your higher LSAT, and I know my stats aren't elite, but given their rank and age of the program you'd think they would be a bit more generous. Seems like a weird strategy for them to be hunting stats/ only giving max money to high GPA&LSAT applicants knowing that most of those people won't end up there.
I actually went ahead and just immediately withdrew because I knew I would never take that offer. Not even worth negotiating given how much unconditional money there is out there elsewhere. Figured I'd free them up to at least offer the money to someone else.

if I have a 163 and 3.81 double major what are y'all thinking? I applied a few days ago thinking it was my top choice but after reading this I am not so sure

@happygirl292: I think you'll be fine and get a good offer since you are above both medians. Based on the data on here they don't seem to show as much love to high LSAT but not-so-good GPA splitters so all I can do is wait and see.
@happygirl292: others seem to be having better results - I guess they are just trying to boost both stats so they didn't like my low GPA. I do think the conditional scholarship is very dicey though. Top 75% of class is pretty aggressive.
Location aside, you'd find $$$+ unconditional money at schools ranked 50-100 with your stats.

yeah I got a full ride conditional on top 75%
