…I got stuck on UR1); applied to RTK and Furman Academic Scholars at NYU, Academic Scholars at Columbia, PI scholarships at Berkeley and BU, Epstein PILP at UCLA, Olin at WashU Other decision notes: Waitlisted at UCLA in December but taken off WL when I got into Epstein PILP in January (no LOCI).

Admitted to Georgetown University…is throughout the application. For every single named scholarship I received, admission staff referenced my writing. Give yourself enough time to write and revise, and write every Why X you can. When you are writing a Why X essay, be creative and show how the school fits into your life/plans. Every essay you’re able…
…$750. I used the 7Sage law school predictor and LSAT Demon scholarship estimator to choose the schools I applied to. I wish I would have relied more heavily on Law School Data instead. Had I gone through last year’s admissions graphs, I would probably have applied to fewer/different schools in my hunt for a full…
…I felt that T3 was probably more accurate. All listed scholarship figures are merit aid only. Yale - solid Y250 Stanford - solid 3 Songs Optional, wrote LOCI after a few months of silence Chicago - nothing extra, mediocre interview, no LOCI for WL Harvard - nothing extra Columbia - nothing extra, no LOCI for WL Penn…
…Apply broadly. You will never know what acceptances and scholarships you will receive unless you throw a wide-net. I spent $2000 in applications. It was well worth it. – Interview advice: a lot of interviews are temperature checks (are you a normal person). Come prepared with specifics about each law school…
…my opinion, is to look at which schools give the best/most scholarships and which schools appear to be more negotiable with scholarships than others. Look at the chart of applicants and see if people with your stats are more likely to receive money than not. It is worth the (admittedly, expensive) application fee if…
…why they should accept you (and entice you to attend with scholarship money). Also, be prepared to receive some confusing results. For example, I was accepted to Georgetown despite having some typos in my essays that I caught later and not having written a particularly convincing supplemental essay, yet I was…
…weeks, ymmv). GWU - Hold on 2/27, Accepted on 3/19 with scholarship offer same day. NDLS - Appealed scholarship offer using UMN and GW, denied.
…roles as to why I was able to get into most schools with scholarship. I decided to attend NYU because of the scholarship offer, proximity to family, and that they are top ranked for the area of law I see myself practicing (ultimately why I chose them over Mich). However, if you are completely unsure what type of law…
…LRAP is abyssmal for nyc salaries, and even with their top scholarship (which I was offered both cycles) it’s really $$. 23-24 Apps: NYU - ED - Deferred to RD - Hold 2/6 - Waitlist 4/30 Columbia - RD - Accepted! Got the WL from CLS last year so shocked and pleasantly surprised ATTENDING with 70k grant. Fordham - RD…
…and probably clerking. rejected from toll (penn) and PI scholarship (berkeley), didn’t apply for RTK. levy alternate at penn (38k/year), was told it could increase to 43k/year but didn’t ask for said increase. denied reconsideration at chicago and UVA, didn’t ask for recon elsewhere. advice: if you’re PI, look very…
…in Opus appeared under the usual “admissions” tab.- GSU scholarship info: looks cheap, actually is my best offer so far. $2000 for 1L, but full tuition + $4000/year stipend for 2L and 3L as well as GA position. Received a few months post-A. Fordham application went complete 10/12 with a date change and address going…
…a seat deposit deadline of June 1. I submitted my merit scholarship request on May 25th and received my scholarship amount of 20k on May 31st. I extended my seat deposit deadline to June 3rd and requested a merit aid reconsideration on June 2nd in light of their second seat deposit passing. I was increased to 25k.…
…of your application to get into a top school with a large scholarship (and to get into Harvard). No element of my application, as far as I can tell, would have been the kind of thing to knock an adcom’s socks off. Rather, I spent a good deal of time making sure that each piece was as polished, intentional, and as…
I left notes for some schools: Hover your cursor over the “Result” and “Scholarship” cells. Main takeway: Focus on what you can change. You can’t change what happened in the past. Softs: HYPSM undergrad (with tough course load + GPA addendum), prestigious post-grad fellowship, legal work experience, salient…
…essay; applied for Toll and rejected. Dean’s Fellow scholarship. UVA: Interview was super chill. Enjoyed it. Wrote a why UVA about civil rights Duke: UR3 1/20 — wrote a why Duke on civil rights Mich: Couldn’t get excited enough about it to write a Why Mich (would’ve felt forced). Wrote one optional which I thought…
…that will cost you nothing. Veteran-specific stuff re: scholarships: if you get a scholarship offer from a public school and you are planning on using GI Bill (i.e. you don’t need the money), ask them if they will convert at least some of it to a stipend you can use on top of your GI Bill. I was able to do this at…
…Got a 164 in the June 2021 LSAT in hopes of increasing scholarship offers and getting off WLs. Worked for Georgetown, GW law. Scholarship increase at USD. If I could do this all over again, I would apply early, early, early. It’s better to wait a cycle, have your best application, best LSAT score, best everything,…
