They have a super small class size. Maybe yield protect? IDK. The 7sage predictor told me I had like a 90%+ chance to get in lol

Got the acceptance call from chapman a few hours ago, and they followed up with an email with all of the scholarship documents a couple of hours later

ExcitedShrimp

What does "Pending Decision" mean? My application status just changed for Chapman Law

vnufhgui

12:10

Same here. I'm guessing our files have been reviewed but they are yet to make a decision. Praying for an acceptance

SilentMammothBullfrog

23:55

For those accepted, where did you find your scholarship info?

Got a phone call yesterday, full ride conditional scholarship

I got a full ride with living expenses. About 1 week after applying. I'm attending. In my letter it says that 99% of students meet the 2.2 gpa requirement for my full scholarship by the end of the first year.

[] RunnerOfTheKing

21:54

@QeDRa2Oa: That is awesome. My index is not as high as yours but I hope I get that same one. I'm just in the slot for others index for the same award and 2.2 is a great GPA minimum.

QeDRa2Oa

17:15

@RunnerOfTheKing: I just looked at your profile and 1. it's similar to mine 2. it's better except the tiny LSAT difference. Therefore, if I was an admissions officer, I would give you the same offer.

[] RunnerOfTheKing

20:53

@QeDRa2Oa: Thank you. I hope I get off the waitlist this May because June is do or die for last seat deposit

QeDRa2Oa

12:52

The last seat deposit for Chapman is May 30th. The first was on April 15th.
