Sorry, I did not mean that in a mean/snarky way. More so a "wow I got lucky that I did something theyd prefer I didnt do." Sorry!

Saw the wake portal updated to say they are most likely sending decisions today. Interesting that they are releasing some decisions in April...

Does anyone have any experience negotiating scholarships with Wake?

applied early december and have heard nothing

Anybody have any idea/assumptions as to why some of us are being skipped over?
lawqueen629
11:06
Like people who went complete after us are getting decisions (whether A, WL, or R) and ours are still UR?
Katiebeth17
12:53
You may have an application they consider borderline where it's hard for them to make a decision on you one way or the other? That would be my assumption, but I could be wrong.

@Winniegirl: what about ASD confirmed your decision that WF is your #1?

Has anyone seen anything about Wake's general attitude re: scholarship reconsideration? I try to stay off of reddit for the most part so I miss things
Snowboii
20:51
@tkh3: Sadly, they do not do any scholly reconsideration. Heard of them telling multiple people that first offer is best offer and it says in their scholly terms that they do not reconsider.

@TheLSATsucks: It was really how the students talk about the staff and professors and their classmates, the campus overall, and general community. Also that its a top 5 legal writing program which was very important to me
