Thewrightlawyer: I think it is helping you. I am white with a 163 and on the WL.
15:53
@Thewrightlawyer: Based on your numbers you shouldn't have any issues I'm not URM and I got in with a good amount of money.

@Thewrightlawyer: I’m between UMN and UW

Going to try to negotiate with both of them to see if I can get more scholarship $ since I want to do PI and am not receiving any financial assistance from my family
@EnchantingSwankyDog: why are you waitlisted? That's crazy.
Has anyone who has been accepted the past few weeks still waiting for scholarship info?
2:58
Did my interview last night. She said they are running a little slow on scholarships
TanSwankyCorgi

@AbjectAvailableMilk: when were you accepted?
Does anyone know the chances of getting off the WL?!
FLG: ^^ fr I want to know!!

How many of yall are going to ASD?
9:54
👋🏼
@TanSwankyCorgi: I was accepted Fri 3/8
TanSwankyCorgi
11:18
@AbjectAvailableMilk: I would email them since two weeks have passed and just say that since deadlines are coming up you want to know if you are still being considered for merit scholarship $
TanSwankyCorgi
11:18
I heard back within 2 days (not counting weekends) so it seems weird that they havent gotten back to you yet
Thanks for the suggestion! I will do that!
6:40
They told me they are on spring break this week so things may move slower than normal
TanSwankyCorgi
10:18
@AbjectAvailableMilk: Hoping for the best for you!
Apparently they didn't consider me for a scholarship lol! So now I have to submit a form for them to reconsider!
TanSwankyCorgi
14:04
@AbjectAvailableMilk: that is honestly crazy, I have similar stats to you and got a small scholarship :/ seems like they are really putting more weight on LSAT scores lately
LuckOfTheIrish
15:24
Do they usually let you know within a week of acceptance if you’re getting a scholarship?
2:51
I’m wondering the same thing
6:32
@LuckOfTheIrish: are you waiting on one?
I heard back on scholarship a week after I was accepted !
TanSwankyCorgi
9:57
Yes, typically - I think they said about 2 weeks so if that time has passed I would reach out to admissions, theyre really responsive
LuckOfTheIrish
11:46
I was accepted yesterday so just wondering what time frame I should expect. Thanks everyone
11:36
So after x amount of days we have to reach out if we have not received a scholarship email?
ricanlawyergirl
12:12
today has officially been 12 weeks in review status.... should I call later today since I haven't heard back?
StripedBumpyBeagle
13:07
@ricanlawyergirl: I was in review from October until 2 weeks ago, got the interview and was accepted the next day. I would say you are free to reach out but not uncommon for wisconsin
TanSwankyCorgi

@Botting: you dont have to, but just a recommendation if Wisco is a top choice
