Hi! I received my admission email and letter two weeks ago.
I have just checked my "Applicant Online Status" and it says only "Application Complete - 10/30/2015".
Gtown is a great school in all aspects. From now on I will wait for the decisions about scholarships. I´ve sent them an email a week ago regarding financial aid and here's their answer:
"The scholarship committee will begin considering all admitted applicants for a scholarship based on your initial application beginning in late January and will make offers on a rolling basis."
Does anyone know if Gtown gives full tuition waivers or anything close to that? Washington is a really nice place to live, but it is way expensive though.
Cheers!
Hi,
I just received my accceptance email on Nov 20th. Georgetown's website states that "If you're an international student, options for financing your education at Georgetown Law are limited to commercial loans". On the other hand, there is a financial aid application for which international students shall complete sections 1-5, but you algo received an email saying that all admitted students are considered for financial aid.
You seem to be up to date with Gtown's financial aid rules. Is there financial aid apart from commercial loans, do you need to fill an application, are we all considered? Could you help clearing this up?
@gdeschamps: Can you refer the link where it says that international students can only avail commercial loans? Also, aren't the steps 1 to 5 applicable only to US residents?
They do give certain waivers because the aid page says this:
"Georgetown Law awards a small number of partial scholarships to foreign-educated lawyers who apply to the LL.M. Degree Programs. To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship, applicants must submit a completed LL.M. application no later than the February 12, 2016regular deadline (although awards may be made on a rolling basis). On the basis of students' LL.M. applications, Georgetown Law will select a group of applicants and invite them to apply for the scholarships."
