Does anyone know how generous GULC is with scholarships? I got the scholarship info e-mail, and I'm supposed to tell them an amount that will "make a difference in my decision." Just trying to get a feel for what is feasible before I submit a number.

Thanks

Priority waitlist earlier this evening. Will probably withdraw. Good luck to the rest of yas!

Did you solicit a scholarship or did the email come out of the blue?

I literally just read through all the posts on this thread. My Georgetown obsession is taking me to a whole new level of crazy.

It's now officially been a week since my group interview.. Anyone think it's worth checking the ASW site over the weekend as well? lol

Neither. I updated my file with the Feb LSAT score and told them to use it for scholarship purposes. Then I got the email.

Has anyone contacted GULC to express interest in merit aid without being contacted by them first? If so, what kind of response have you received?

I contacted Georgetown a few days ago to inquire about merit aid, and the next day received the form email with the questions about explaining where my thoughts are at about GULC and how much money would make a significant difference. The problem is, I have no way of knowing whether my solicitation precipitated the email or if it would have been coming anyway. But it didn't hurt!

I also sent in that sort of email and got the email in response a day or two later.

when does the response to the scholarship email have to be in by? when do they say they will let you know by?

Today is my birthday and i would want nothing more than for Georgetown to bring me some good news. Santa, I know it's March but I've been a really good girl and this would be the perfect gift

Good luck! I was admitted on my birthday in October (Andy was even so nice to say Happy Birthday in the letter)...so it could happen

Was able to generate my ASW login today! What's been the general timeline b/w in on website and receiving email/letter?

Yup +1 - Emailed about 2 weeks ago, got the email on Friday. Can't say whether or not I'd have received the email without having emailed first.

Same situation here. How did you respond? My original email already basically included the response to what they asked, so I'm wondering if I should reiterate or if they'd be like "uhhh yeah we know dude, back off."

Does Georgetown ask people to fill out need access?

I used my ignorance as a sort of 'soft' initial inquiry. I just wrote a short note saying something like, "Hi, I was just admitted, and I would really like to be considered for any available merit aid, but I wasn't sure if I needed to fill out the yellow application for that, or if there was something else I needed to do...?"

And then when I got the email, I got into the good stuff about why GULC and how much I wanted, etc.

Just received my acceptance letter via post. The personal note was a great touch

Had a Group interview 2/26, in via ASW when I checked on Saturday... No word since then. So I'm still a little nervous about whether I've actually really heard or not

If you're in via ASW, then you're definitely in, so don't stress! I interviewed on the 28th so hopefully I'll hear back by tomorrow...congratulations
