I felt extreme culture shock at being called honey, baby, sweetheart etc when I moved to the south but now I like it. I think it’s contextual

Guys I need help. I applied to my dream law school as a nearly applicant through a 3+3 (senior year will be L1 instead of at my undergrad and credits transfer back to fulfill my degree). They only gave me 10k in scholarship out of a 62k sticker price. Their median gpa and Lsat is 3.6 and 157-160. I got a 3.72 and a 153 and they admitted me as an international law scholar and paid full tuition for a summer program they offer. I'm just like thinking to myself is this an average scholarship offer in general (I know that my LSAT is below) but is there any way to ask for more money when I don't have any other comparative scholarship offers?

@GodsPlanUltimately: the important question u must ask yourself: did you apply UM?

bunnynoise

12:54

@GodsPlanUltimately: if you raise your LSAT or GPA you will be more competitive for negotiation. I would retake the LSAT. Maybe also apply to some other schools for leverage

bunnynoise

12:54

You can look at what the school typically offers to people with your stats in scholarship money on this website

@llama: i think you mean YM

bunnynoise

12:56

Genuinely if you’re set on attending this school retaking the LSAT will make things so much easier for you. There’s a lot of space to improve from a 153. Give it a shot

GodsPlanUltimately

12:56

I applied ED and because of the program I'm in (applying as junior in college and need the L1 credits to transfer back to complete my degree) I can only apply to this school. My gpa will most likely be 3.8 by the end of this semester (hopefully).

@GodsPlanUltimately: I would retake the LSAT and apply next year honestly. Paying 50k per year in tuition alone for a school with those medians seems like a scam.

texaslawhopefully

12:57

And you can find out if it’s a good scholarship offer by looking at the school’s 509 report

bunnynoise

12:58

I think it would be good for you to ask yourself if this is your dream school objectively or only because of the convenience of the 3+3 program. Don’t take on a ton of debt that will take you years to pay off just to save a year of school.

you are grieving your life by applying with a 153, there are very few people on earth who can’t at least hit 160 and enjoy the significant financial privilege you will get compared to 153

GodsPlanUltimately

12:59

@bunnynoise: I would say it is definelty objectively and to just because of the program. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I may have to rethink retaking the LSAT but I've already taken it 3 times and I'm not sure how well that will reflect. I'm just beyond blessed to have been admitted (positively glowing) but stressed about how to pay.

GodsPlanUltimately

13:01

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: I understand where you're coming from and I agree in a sense nor will I make excuses. It's just a lot to think about. Even if that's true, generally speaking I'm not so sure my chances would even increase but alas this is what happens when you ask for opinions lol. I appreciate your thoughts.

@GodsPlanUltimately: how are your studying processes? have you taken a significant chunk of practice tests? do you keep a wrong answer journal? scoring below 155 three times usually indicates you’re not approaching it properly

texaslawhopefully

13:02

@godplan What are your career goals?

bunnynoise

13:04

If it’s your dream school then it’s your dream school. You’re above their GPA median, if you could get an LSAT above their median you’d be in a good place for scholarship money

GodsPlanUltimately

13:04

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: I'd say my study processes are pretty sold and I consider myself a studious person. I've taken about 10 and yes I do keep a journal. I will say that the first time I took it my exam was delayed 5 hours due to computer failure. I see where your coming from and I do agree.

GodsPlanUltimately

13:05

@texaslawhopefully: I'd like a career within international law personally which is why I was psyched to be named one of their international law scholars for a fellow program. Still figuring it out.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:06

@GodsPlanUltimately: if the test just doesn’t gel with you that’s fine. it’s just bumping up your score a few points would offer you much more scholarship money. going from below median to above median could be the difference in 100k+ of debt

GodsPlanUltimately

13:06

@bunnynoise: Thank you. If I were to retake the LSAT and update my school even after an acceptance letter via ED it can still be submitted to the school?

GodsPlanUltimately

13:06

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: I 100% agree with you. I'll have to seriously think about retaking.

get your grades yet wasp?

Applying ED makes it harder for to negotiate because you’ve already committed to attending

@bunnynoise: Exactly what I was afraid of. Seems I am indeed in a bit of a pickle. I may have to try fighting for external scholarships instead.
