I didn't deposit at both schools, but I was able to use my offer from Cornell, among others, to negotiate with Michigan. When I asked if they could increase their offer, they told me that they will review applicants only once after the initial determination, so I should only try to get increased aid if I was sure I had gotten all the scholarship offers I was going to get. Once I emailed them all of my offers, they literally took less than a day to re-evaluate and increase my award.

Thank you for the details.

Hey I don't know if anyone is trying to pursue a similar strategy, but I deposited at Cornell and Michigan and tried to use a 150k offer from Cornell to get Michigan to up their initial 75k offer--Michigan responded with, what seemed like, a form response saying they don't negotiate (without really addressing any of my particulars).

So, long story short, I don't know if this was just me, but it seems like they're sticking to not negotiating up from an initial offer. Anyway, I'm still considering coming to AA, but I thought I would mention this! Best of luck to everyone who decided on UoM!

I think that at a certain point (like 75k) Michigan no longer negotiates, at least thats what my award letter said.

For summer starters: does anyone know when we need to order textbooks, get our class schedules, pay tuition, etc.?

[DaftAndDirect]

Go to Cornell at 150k. Legal market still shrinking.

I would also like to know this information. Less than 3 weeks away from orientation now.

[LSBound2017]

For summer starters, when is everyone getting to Ann Arbor? I'll be there about a week before orientation if anyone is around and wants to meet up!

Yes it is, one of the forms on wolverine access has a link to it. Its some kind of financial award summary form with links to other helpful information. I wish i had the exact name of the form for you but I can't remember my password to get onto wolverine access at the moment haha. If you cant find it maybe someone else can post a link to it, otherwise I will once I get back in. If my excel budget document is correctly updated, I have $51,395 for in state tuition.

Officially on the waitlist for the Lawyer's Club. Hope there's movement.

FYI for anyone buying student football tickets this morning. The seating group password for law students that Dean Z emailed out didn't work for me. However, if you enter it with the password in ALL caps instead of lowercase it will work. Hopefully this saves someone a minute of frustration.

If anyone has any questions for us summer starters I'll check back periodically.

Checking in and seeking advice from Ann Arborites about men's winter clothing, especially boots and jackets. Wool or Gore-Tex, for instance? Half-ankle or full boot? Are there good places to shop for these items in AA, or should I plan a trip to Detriot?

I'm in the LC and plan to use the gym at Ross, so I don't anticipate any outrageous treks during 1L, but cold is cold!

You've got a long ass time until you need the winter clothing. I get by with sneakers, but I'm used to winter. A good jacket is a good thing to have, but frankly, especially living in the lawyers club, a sweatshirt combined with a softshell is actually sufficient. Long underwear and wool socks are underrated. But there are places to buy shit in Ann Arbor, and you've got quite a while.
