Sharing application date would be nice as well.

I’ve heard that once law school starts, reading for fun basically disappears...so I'm looking to make the most of the next couple months 🤓 Anyone reading anything good?

ETA: These suggestions are all fantastic! I now have a gigantic "hold" list on my Libby account haha

Anyone heard from them, called them, or had any recent status updates?

Especially those who have been in Hold status since December?

Accepted for the hybrid online program. My application scores barring my GPA were terrible really so this is a welcome win.

Has anyone heard from South Texas college of law? Deposits are due soon and I’ve heard nothing.

I will be using the G.I. Bill for law school and I'm looking at the best hybrid/flex school options. Travel will not be a problem, but I'm looking for schools that have minimal on campus visits during the semester. Totally online options are out of the question because I'm trying to max my housing allowance potential. I have done a lot of research over the last few months of schools that offer hybrid/flex options but just wanted the opinions of other service members and students. Please feel free to add your input and thanks in advance.

Currently enrolled to begin this fall. I received an email from admissions announcing ABA changes in their definition of distance education courses to better align with the Dept. of Education requirements. As a result, the email mentioned they have made updates to their BL program, requiring fewer trips to campus.

They also mentioned that NYS has NOT made changes to their distance education restrictions. I assume they have me marked as planning to take the NYS Bar, unless everyone got this email. I have asked them if this means their changes no longer allow me to meet NYS bar requirements (even w/waiver app). No response yet.

Has anyone had a his conversation or figured out if the BL updates mean graduates won’t meet NYS requirements to sit for the bar via waiver?

Hello, so I was thinking of applying to their online JD program. However, I was unable to find a proper per credit hr cost. There was this pdf that showed 115k total for the program but not sure. If that is the case, I think that’s way cheaper than some of the other programs, no?

I'll be withdrawing from Mitchell Hamline, so that'll free up a spot for someone!

20% scholarship from Detroit Mercy puts their total tuition at $118K. Hawaii sticker price is $88K, and also ranked higher.

Hawaii kind of seems like a no-brainer, right?

Hope someone waiting on MH or Maurer can get their A and my nearly full ride 🤞

Decided against MH because of the asynchronous heavy program setup.
Decided against IU McKinney because their scholarship was low even for in-state tuition. And I don’t love their program.
IU Maurer was never truly in the cards because I cannot go to a full time in person program, but my sister is a 1L there and i wanted to make her sweat haha and also was able to use their very generous scholarship offer being a T50 to significantly increase my other offers in negotiation.

Applied in January -stats 3.4, lsat 168, 95k scholarship

Considering r & r this cycle since this and Mitchell Hamline (which was about the same total cost) were both my best scholarship offers and 40k out of pocket still seems like a lot

3.82 UGPA, 164 LSAT. Wanting full tuition at NUSL. Going to retake in June for hopefully 5+ more points. Will take again in August if needed.

What would it take to get full tuition at NUSL? I'm currently at the median LSAT and at the 75th GPA. I also have 2 masters degrees and 10+ years of work experience in bank/fintech compliance and internal audit. Fairly compelling "Why Law" also, though that wont get me $$$.

Not URM. Average softs.

Anyone who has got full tuition at NUSL care to chime in with your stats?

Paid for undergrad cash so have access to my full loan limit. Wondering if financial aid package will cover travel and if so how is it calculated?

I checked the ASO and I have a balance due of $200!! It still says under review though and I haven’t received an email with a decision. I wonder if I got in?

This happened with ONU, I saw the fees for the deposit before I received the acceptance the next morning.

Fingers crossed! 🤞

Sent 4/13
Marked pending 5/8

We shall see, if I get accepted I'll probably see y'all in August.

If not better luck next year 😂

For everyone that applies to LMU, how long did you have to wait before you got a decision?

Can I still apply now😭 who has been admitted so far and what lsat scores would they accept cause mine is low… I actually deposited at another school but wanted to see and try out Hawaii. I saw they have an international law program too

Anyone who was admitted to University of Detroit Mercy School of Law’s online JD, did your scholarship info come with your acceptance email/letter, or did it come separately later?

I got admitted to the online cohort but my admit email/letter didn’t mention any merit aid. I’ve seen at least one person post that they got a scholarship letter attached with their acceptance, so just trying to figure out if Detroit sends those separately sometimes or if no scholarship usually means… no scholarship.
