LSAT 180 GPA 4.00 2021–22 cycle

…aid at Stanford. I chose NYU for the half-tuition scholarship, because I was interested in public interest (the PI community at Stanford is smaller than NYU), NYU’s LRAP is marginally better, my support network is in NYC, and I ultimately want to practice in NYC.

And on the reaches/targets side, apply to schools you’re not even interested in because if they offer you aid, you’ll be able to **leverage…

My cycle took 158 days. Go Blue Devils! Here’s some unsolicited advice: shoot your shot. I was pretty convinced that T-14 admissions or scholarships would be largely unattainable for me because of my below-median LSAT - but remember, numbers are only part of your application. More unsolicited advice: STUDY STUDY…
