Is anyone else still waiting on scholarship offers? I was accepted back in mid December and haven't heard a thing about scholarships.

I am, too.

I applied for the PI, and I've heard zip.

Just received mail saying I did not get PI scholarship. For those in a similar boat, did anyone receive merit scholarship? And how long did it take to hear about it? And by what means?

My email saying I didn't get it also included the merit scholarship amount.

Oh strange. Mine was snail mail. I hope this doesn't mean I didn't get any...

Just got put on the WL. Which is odd because I have offers with $$ from higher ranked schools. The whole process is such a black box.

LSAT>25% GPA>50%

Those of you who got the PI scholarship, could you please PM me with what you think got you the scholarship?

Really trying to figure out why I was rejected for it.

Also got a snail mail PI rejection today, so I'll likely be withdrawing soon and hopefully freeing a spot for someone on the WL! Definitely a bit disappointed because with my numbers and softs, I thought I was very competitive for it.

When is the deposit deadline?

I was accepted in early January, and I haven't heard a word on scholarships. BU makes scholarship decisions all the way up to the deposit deadline, but if I don't hear soon I'll be withdrawing.

Anyone know if BU waits till a certain date till they consider negotiations or if they address them as they come in?

Aw man. Good news for BU, but I hope Minnesota is still the other half of that tie.

BU, you accepted me back in January, so why won't you love me with some scholarship information?

Did anyone get rejected for PI scholarship by snail mail and then get merit scholarship info afterwards? Or alternatively, anyone find out after getting the mail that they didn't get a scholarship? I'm wondering if I should assume that I didn't get anything, as most of those who didn't get PI seem to have gotten an amount over email. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried calling admissions and asking them?
