Law School Discussion

me too - got the email, can't acccess the site.

oh so sad.

Are there really only 100 of us on the general out-of-state waitlist?  That's something to be proud of, right?

what to do?  I went to UVA undergrad, maybe I can dig up another professor to write another rec for me?

not the best way to start the weekend.

to end the (heartstopping, I know) suspense ...

it's true, I'm in - got the letter today.  it's official.  Boy Florida sounds good right about now (Blizzard in Brooklyn ya know)

thanks all!

I thought the voting line was funny, too.  I wonder how close it was, and whether any hanging chads were involved.

still no further info has arrived since the 1st letter... so I'm taking youall's word for it on the admit weekend timing

sigh

I suppose I'll try for the April 7/8 weekend, though wow I don't know if I can get that much time off of work... if I'm going to choose between UIUC and Wisconsin, I'll need to see them both - and UIUC's admit days are 3/3 and 3/31...

Thanks archival!!!  I saw the faq too before I posted - but your way is more helpful, this way everyone can see.

It looks like maybe we could swing in-state status second year if my guy worked while we were there and filed taxes, etc.

I was hoping someone might have anecdotal experience with this working or not, etc.

I'll speak with the fin aid office at some point to get details.  As discussed in another thread, we are being very careful with the decision to marry or not, not sure what impact that will have on fin aid, etc...

this is all so complicated.  thank goodness for LSD, you guys are the best.

Important Notes: 1) Where a school did not give a deadline, I put the deadline as February 1st;
----cut -----
University of Michigan
Deadline: 2/01/2006
FAFSA: Yes
FAFSA Code: E00506
Need Access: Yes
School Specific Forms/Ppwk: 2005 Tax Return; 1st pp of 2000-2004 return for any/all years you claim to have been "Independent"

Sorry - To clarify - does this mean that Michigan did not give a deadline, or that you saw somewhere something due today (sorry to be obtuse, just checking here.)

Here's a quote from the Michigan website:

Is there a financial aid deadline for first-year law students?
No, there is not a financial aid deadline for first-year law students; you can apply right up to the start of the school year, if you wish. Of course, the sooner we have your completed application, the sooner we can issue your award letter. Our continuing students, however, have a firm financial aid application deadline in April of each year.

(I sent in my FinAid docs to Emory, as they had a 2/1 deadline, but I thought all others were 2/15 or later.  I just got my w2s and have a really busy day at work ahead of me.)

Do I need to do this today, I guess is the question...

Thanks!!

Oh, and really really great thread! Thanks for starting it.
