…cycle! I’m so grateful to have received the AnBryce scholarship, and I have a lot of people on this website and Reddit to thank for their help in getting me there. Advice You do not need to pay for law school admissions advice To find more information about the law school admissions process, I used Dean Z’s A to Z…
…made it easier for schools to admit me and give higher scholarships. I’d also apply to the Hyundai-Kia scholarship for Berkeley and proof my optional essays more, though maybe not as much as my personal statement (I did nine major revisions to that over the span of a month). Otherwise, I think there was a bit of bad…

GULC status date disappeared on 11/19. **Was not invited to…
…Maybe withdrawing was premature. I already had the full scholarship from Miami and the half scholarship from FSU. Applying early and broadly helps! Miami was running out of scholarship money and people with higher stats started getting smaller scholarships in the spring. They also took about two months to send the…
…free. I wasn’t gonna go if I got in anyways Temple- got scholarship with acceptance. got what I expected when I applied 1/30 no response from any school in January so far (not including asu).

…offer March 19. March 6: UVA Karsh-Dillard!!! Opened up my scholarship decision on the train because I couldn’t stand waiting any longer to see my decision when the notification came out.

Read ABA 509 reports to make informed decisions on your application and scholarship process: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx LSATs: 170 > 171 > 179 (studied with the LSAT Demon, wouldn’t recommend anything else). In retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum…
…The only thing that was not great was that they sent scholarship info through the snail mail, but far and away the best acceptance package. Mizzou: Radio silence from them until I got a phone call on 11/28 from the Dean of Admissions. Also used the snail mail for scholarship info. Will not reconsider scholarships…
…strategy will help you with controlling day-of nerves. **Scholarship negotiation: **You won’t get what you don’t ask for- ask for more time, more money. But be strategic- know you may only have one shot to make your case. Be honest, be sincere, and do your research. If you have the money or the fee waiver, apply to…
…efficiency. Applied to some private schools to test for scholarships, gauge market value, and have reconsideration leverage. Target schools: UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Texas.

…predictions on where you would be able to get in and what scholarships might look like. lawschooldata.org/search is, in my opinion, the best source of this data but lsatdemon.com/scholarships, mylsn.info/r/pre-law/admissions/search/, and 7sage.com/predictor/ are also useful. Seeing what kind of schools you have a…
…cry. Thankfully, I have my GI Bill to pay for school so scholarships aren’t a major concern. I would recommend applying to similar schools you may be willing to attend so you have comparable opportunities to aid in negotiating for scholarships. It may be extra work but it is also potentially extra money. Tennessee…
