if you have a top choice, and the school gives a scholarship that you’d be happy with, ignore everyone’s advice and apply ED. It absolutely makes a difference in a cycle that’s as competitive as this.

Take the LSAT again, gain more points = more scholarship money. Particularly when you have a GPA like mine lol. Taking the January 2022 test to increase my chances of As and $$. Take your shot, though. The worst that happens is they say no, and you’re right where you are.
…pretty pleased w/ my results (cracked the t14 + very solid scholarship money just outside of it) esp given how tough this cycle was!! my advice FWIW: take at least 1 gap year BUT absolutely make sure you are getting some kind of full-time WE. i have no idea whether my lack of it was an active ding on my application…

…interested in public interest and always try to negotiate scholarships. You can do this!
When going into this cycle my top 3 schools were Northwestern, UVA, and Penn. Out of those three only NU had a charitable ED scholarship - plus I liked Chicago as location more than the other two. Targeting non - nyc markets also made it an easier decision. However, after applying and attending for a month now, I…

Simple Advice: Spend a lot of time to craft your personal statement/application to show why you want to go to law school. ***This is SUPER…
…for most schools, usually “Why X.” Applied to scholarships I was qualified for. WE GOT THIS
…before withdrawing from schools that offered no scholarships, but there was good reason as I could go at no cost without one. Keep your options open as you feel out which admission is best for you and take the time to think without making a gut decision. Acceptances and rejections don’t reflect you or your…

Originally applied to 5 schools 2020-21 cycle with a 15low and got 4/5 waitlists, no acceptances. Reapplying this cycle with higher LSAT and fingers…
Getting 4 points higher on the lsat than someone whos gpa is .5-.6 points higher becuase they majored in Communications and watching them get higher scholarships than me is infuriating. If youre in college, major in art, NUMBER BIGGER is all that matters, no degree of difficulty is weighed.
