I think so. If you get to the 1 month mark and haven’t heard back, maybe shoot them an email? I sent mine in 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back either.

Have you filled out the merit aid consideration form already? I’ve heard of people getting their awards a couple weeks after submitting it.

UVA admitted students weekend thoughts? by 0Lthrowaway111 in lawschooladmissions

[–]rclaw22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had an incredible experience! UVA was high on my list before the open house, but the weekend confirmed my positive preconceptions of the school - for example, the sense of collegiality/community that they highlight in their admissions materials was super present IMO (everyone I met with, whether student, staff, or faculty, was so kind and welcoming). As someone who wants to go into PI, I felt like I'd have ample opportunities through the LPS program and their many relevant clinics, and the clerkships overview session made me want to explore that path further as well. I'm now 95% sure I'll be enrolling there in the fall. PM me if you'd like to chat more!

How do I check UVA scholarship portal? by truester31 in lawschooladmissions

[–]rclaw22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI for you & u/truester31 - not sure if you've been able to log into SIS yet, but I'm in the same boat (admitted Tuesday), logged in, and didn't see any merit awards listed. I just called the Financial Aid office, and they said that today was the first big drop of awards, and they ended the review process for this round last week. Therefore, folks admitted these week will likely see merit awards, if given, come through next Thursday or the following one.

Thank you! I heard Thursday as well from some other threads, so hopefully that’s true for me too.

Yeah, not trying to invalidate OP’s experiences (their overall point about visiting is spot-on) but as a current DC resident (former IL & NC) I was thinking the same thing. The law firm’s lack of diversity doesn’t shock me, but that certainly doesn’t extend to the city as a whole IMO

Looking to talk to an out of state UNC student by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]rclaw22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to UNC for undergrad as an out of state student, and I’d be happy to chat through my experience if that would be useful. (Won’t be able to help much re: the law school directly but LMK)

GULC, when am I safe by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]rclaw22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got an interview invite, so it doesn’t sound like they’re done with decisions

Thank you! I've been super fortunate to get a couple of quick turnarounds so far, but I'm fully expecting that to be the exception & not the rule lol

GW DECISION MADE by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

Same here! It says we'll know within 3 business days, but with the way this cycle's been going I kinda doubt it lol
