General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: HLS« on: August 12, 2006, 03:21:06 PM »has anyone else gotten your staffords approved yet? how long did the damn approval process take? Yesh... Mine (MEFA) was approved 2 or 3 weeks ago. However, I only applied back in early July. I received a "Notice of loan guarantee and disclosure" which listed the disbursement information. 33

Oh yesh... Gtown also has a full tuition scholarship. The Dean Scholarship I believe it's called. Like the Darrow, you have to write an essay. It's also full tuition (no summer stipend) if I recall.

Law School Applications / Re: Big Money Scholarships at Top Schools« on: August 07, 2006, 11:43:07 PM »Thanks towlie. Come on guys, all the UMich and Columbia kids on this board and none of you can post the details of the school's top scholarships? UMich has full and partial (half?) Darrows. Darrows come with full tuition for 3 years and a stipend for the first summer (very sweet!). I believe approx 12 ppl get Darrows each year. However, I’m not sure if this is the number of offers or the number that accept. I do know that some turn it down since the Darrow mostly targets HYS admits. 35
Law School Applications / Re: ED/EA, If I'm in a schools range should I apply?« on: August 07, 2006, 11:37:11 PM »Only apply to a school Early Decision if you are ABSOLUTELY sure you want to go there and nowhere else if accepted (unless you are talking about Texas which has early decision but is not binding). If the ED school is your top choice, you may up your chances by applying ED because they have the guarantee that you will go there (thus increasing the # of admits who actually attend). True. Also, keep in mind that you can reap the benefits of EA without applying early. For example, you can apply regular admission to NYU and get admitted before many of the EA applicants. Happened last cycle. 36
Law School Applications / Re: U. of Indiana and Wake Forest want to know about my speeding tickets.......« on: August 07, 2006, 11:32:29 PM »how dumb is that? All the other schools I applied to today just wanted to know about any misdemeanors/felonies, whereas these two wanted to know about traffic violations (sans parking tickets) too. I have one speeding ticket from when I was an 18 year old high school senior, I hope it doesn't hurt me. It won't. A good friend applied to IU-B and had to disclose a speeding ticket. He ended up with a full tuition scholarship, etc. Also, I read somewhere that speeding ticket disclosures have to do with how they are classified in the state. 37
Law School Applications / Re: Nosey questions on apps...« on: August 07, 2006, 11:22:27 PM »Quote - "I know Michigan asked it. They also wanted to know the date(s) you applied/are applying to other schools. I had the same question myself about what to do. Anyone with advice?" Re: Michigan. Perhaps you two are referring to different schools? Michigan State vs Univ. of Michigan? I did Univ. of Michigan's app last cycle (’05-’06) and don’t recall those annoying questions (although other schools had them) Re: Answering the question.. Just do it. To the best of your abilities of course. 38
Financial Aid / Re: How does working 1L and 2L summer affect financial aid?« on: August 04, 2006, 08:03:41 PM »
If I’m remembering correctly, at my school you can make up to a certain amount that the school won't touch. It's about 10 grand. Anything above that is fair game. This is important because if you have grants, those will be the first to go. Of course, this is probably no reason to turn down a well paying cushy job where they wine and dine you for weeks.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: Which primer for Crim Law to buy?« on: July 30, 2006, 10:07:58 AM »a.) 0L I also liked the Delaney book. Of course I have not seen the Dressler book so I can't compare. However, I think like a lot of things, this is a personal preference based in part on how I study, etc. I liked the way Delaney presented the material. It was very engaging. |
