blackbearyjam's wisdom
Applying
Truly, apply anywhere you want to go (finances willing). You don’t want to leave any stone unturned- If you can, try to have a least two safetys
- Nothing is guaranteed in this process. Most schools do not admit in a predictable pattern or timeline and even if they do, you can always be surprised.
-
When I applied to school, I truly doubted that I would be admitted anywhere (hence the 29 applications). You just never know until you try.
Financials
Don’t forget to sign up for Candidate Referral Service. Many fee waivers are available!- Request a fee waiver from every school you can. You might be surprised. -
Try to negotiate scholarship amount even if you read online about a policy of non-negotiation. I was success in negotiating at least one additional amount. A small one, but every penny counts.
Choosing Schools
Don’t let U.S. News rule your decisions- Be sure to check on law schools’ specific programs and ranking systems other than US News. - Many people told me that it is often important to go to school where you want to live to take advantage of local networks, so that played a large role in my decisions.
- Other ranking systems:
