…I saved ~$400 just by sending a few emails. Also ask for scholarship reconsideration. I saved another $3,000 with one form. Only apply to schools that you can use for reconsideration or will attend. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have applied to half of the schools that I did. And don’t commit anywhere without visiting -…

…or better qualified applicants. It also limits your merit scholarship opportunities as a lot of the money available is gone by then. Additionally make sure your essays focus around, where possible, how you will enrich the campus of your Law School and what you bring that is unique and positive. The 2025-2026 cycle…
…on my essays were a large factor in my acceptances and scholarships, as well as applying early (in October/early November). If an essay is optional, do it.

LSAT 170 2024–25 cycle
I am a pharmacy undergraduate with an LL.B. degree. I was top 10% of my batch, ranked-wise, and I was awarded a 50% merit scholarship. I want to combine my undergrad knowledge with law and work in a specialty which is culmination of both.
2023–24 cycle

…week later basically saying “I would attend regardless of scholarships as Georgetown is my top choice”. It was radio silence from that feeler for the next month until I finally got the A! Don’t give up, don’t email annoying them every day, and don’t forget to lean on your support systems!
While it is possible to get into schools with scholarships applying late in the cycle, it will limit your options and provide a lot of waitlists at schools you’d likely be admitted to when applying in the fall. The LSAT is a huge factor and can drag a low GPA up.
Honestly, I have to say one thing if there wasn’t a max at $400,000 on the scholarships amount that I am able to input, they would be higher.
…later can be stressful b/c you’re cutting it close to scholarship and deposit deadlines. Don’t wait too long and waste money as a result.
