Seriously disappointed in my scholarship offer, especially considering I'm an in-state student.

Was just notified by UT that I'm not eligible for any merit award :/ Sort of expected, but still sad! I'm a Texas resident, so it's still the most affordable tuition by far... but a little extra discount would've been greatly appreciated!

When were you accepted if you don't mind me asking?

1/10!

same. bummer.

Was this via email orrrr?

Yes, via email. Sounds like they've been a little stingy so far? Guess that's why they send out that form to negotiate!

Yeah, super stingy in my case. $15,000 total. Meanwhile I have $75,000 to Michigan...

Just got the $5K/yr e-mail too. Michigan is my other top choice so I'm glad to hear this offer isn't indicative of what I will get from other schools.

Did either of you who heard back today get asked to submit a Why Texas? If so, when did you send it?

I was never asked for one but a paragraph of my personal statement was essentially a Why Texas

[dmc1275]

I assume in because of call from the office, but no voicemail? LSAT and GPA>75th. Submitted Why Texas on 1/13

[Gitaroo_Dude]

Just got the acceptance call. Pretty stoked about this one.

If it helps, I went complete around 11/21. Radio silence until I got a "Why Texas" request on 1/12, which I submitted on 1/16. Also, out-of-stater.

+1. Similar timeline and got the call about an hour ago!

I was not asked to and did not indicate a "why Texas" in my application.

Offered an interview after submitting a solicited Why Texas. Guess this means it sucked, but didn't suck enough to ding me?

OR you're so great and they think its too good to be true~

"This Why Texas? Is hot garbage. How the fuck did this person ever get a 168 on the LSAT?"

[Gitaroo_Dude]

For those who've received the admit e-mails or packets, has UT given any indication they offer travel stipends for ASD?

Admitted during the interview. They had a question about something in my background and wanted to make sure I wasn't crazysauce.

Yeah, they offer up to $300 stipend based on a short form you fill out online about need. I got an email inviting me to apply for it.

interview invitation
But it's Kira thing. I hate talking to a machine. Guess I'll write to them to ask to talk in person, or just withdraw my app.
