…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 -…

…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.

…I got into my top choice - in December and with an awesome scholarship offer, no less! I am so proud of this accomplishment, and I do not believe it would have been possible if I chose to torture myself over increasing my LSAT score by 2 points rather than pouring my heart and passion into my application essays.
