Took LSAT 3 times: 169 -> 170 -> 180 Undergraduate and Masters degree in economics KJD Attended T50 undergrad on full-tuition scholarship
…Didn’t do anything extra for this app. I got an initial scholarship of $0. It was upped a decent amount after the deposit deadline. -GMU; Wrote ’Why GMU” since it was required, focused on how my math background tied into their economic emphasis. -American; sent in the app with no tailoring. Was WL and withdrew…
…in the end, the moment that Penn offered me even a bit of scholarship, my mind was instantly made up. Aside from the higher ranking, truth be told, Penn was one of the schools that I had my eye on from the beginning, especially because of their commitment to cross-disciplinary teaching (and having a…
Ask for a fee waiver at every school you apply for, I received one at all 11 schools. Also NEGOTIATE YOUR SCHOLARSHIPS, it doesn’t hurt to ask and the worst they can do is say no!
Tier 3 Softs: First-gen, low-income; prestigious merit scholarship; T10 Undergrad Submitted diversity statement and optional essays. Applied later in cycle (December-January apps)

Stats are the same, but this cycle I’ve written either a Why X or an optional essay for every school except UCLA, ASU,…

WF has a “non-binding” early decision program, and that’s what I was accepted to with a 45k scholarship. deferred myself to regular decision and was waitlisted
Wrote Why X Essays for all applications. Withdrew after ED acceptance to Wisconsin to be fair to other applicants. Received a scholarship from Wisconsin but I’m unable to disclose the amount.
Shoot your shot! Ultimately, I did not break into the T14 but I am proud of the acceptances I got, with some nice scholarship money to boot. Ultimately, I was choosing between WashU and Vanderbilt, and the money at WashU really swayed me as did it’s proximity to where I want to end up working. Pretty run of the mill…
LSAT 166 GPA 3.80 2020–21 cycle
Attending University of North Carolina
…over 3 years at UNC with what amounts to nearly a full scholarship (thanks to their amazing in-state tuition) was just too good to turn down. -Not especially interested in debt or biglaw and have SO in state. Ultimately a no-brainer, I think, given my preferences. Would have taken $$/$$$ from Duke to get me to…
