@SlimNimbleHound: Thank you for your response. Can I ask what kind of scholarship they've offered you?
@Whataremychances: I haven't heard anything back about a scholarship yet
Whataremychances

Got it. Please share if you feel comfortable when you hear. I am not loving this waiting game and only completed my app last week so probably won't hear back for a while.
@Whataremychances: Just got my scholarship info, 58,000/year Trustees conditional scholarship
Pretty much free tuition lol
13:09
Nice I was able to renegotiate mine to a nice jump but I need just slightly more to attend so fingers crossed . If they’re able to do it, I’ll accept
@Journey37: Good luck!

@EducationandHardwork: So happy for you! I just got accepted by email yesterday. How long does it take to get the scholarship email?
@Whataremychances: about a week or 2
Yeah I'll be going barring an increase in my June score or an A from Iowa or Ohio State

I just got a conditional scholarship offer of 30k a year, which it still way too much for me to pay. I'm super disappointed as I thought it would be a lot higher.

Seriously wondering if I should take the June LSAT and improve my score a bit. Wonder if that would help.
What is your current LSAT @whataremychances
Whataremychances
19:38
Lsat is 160, GPA is 4.22

I know I can do much better than 160 as I did in PT's. But anxiety got the best of me on the day.

I got an offer of $30,000 a year, but I was able to negotiate and got it up to $35,000 a year.
10:21
I only had a 157 LSAT and a 3.85 GPA, with your stats and if you another offer I would try and negotiate if you can. Every little bit helps.
@Whataremychances: Reach out to the dean of admissions and ask for a scholarship appeal form. I did and got way more money. You've got this!
Whataremychances
11:17
@EducationandHardwork: Thank you, I will! Did you include anything you think was especially helpful in your scholarship negotiation form? I'm still waiting on my scholarship amounts from two other schools that I've been accepted to.
@Whataremychances: I submitted some personal financial info

Thanks

I am still waiting on Drexel and have no other offers. I wonder if I would be able to get a higher scholarship by just asking and updating my resume a bit as I started an internship. I got offered 25k a year with a 158/3.66

@Javabrunn: I was wondering how long it took for you in-between getting WL and being accepted here? I'm in the same situation. Was WL on the 17th, received my WL form on the 22nd and now just a waiting game. 3.9 and 154

@EducationandHardwork: I've been negotiating my scholarship this past week. They are now offering me $105,000 (instead of 90k) total and I still can't afford that.

I wonder how many times I can negotiate a better deal with them. Did you only need to renegotiate once or go back and forth a few times?
i'm really hoping i can improve my LSAT in June and try to get more money. I'm looking at 160k rn for it. love the school but i know i can get a 160+ so hopefully I can get more money
I'm going to ASD and I'm planning on asking if I can score higher if I can get another increase in scholarship
14:17
I negotiated from 90-135-150 which I’m grateful for but I still feel screwed because first year is 66 and expected to climb almost 5% the following year and I’m sure the following plus interest rates . Ugh I wanna rip my hair out
14:17
I felt so close and now yet so far
14:17
I don’t feel like I can ask again at this point
