Relax as much as possible before LSAT, try to take your mind off it until the last second! Don’t decide against a school preemptively based on scholarship data. I almost didn’t apply to the school that gave me some of the most money, the one I ended up going to, because I thought they wouldn’t give me any money! At…

…interested in public interest and always try to negotiate scholarships. You can do this!
…before withdrawing from schools that offered no scholarships, but there was good reason as I could go at no cost without one. Keep your options open as you feel out which admission is best for you and take the time to think without making a gut decision. Acceptances and rejections don’t reflect you or your…
…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 -…

…environmental programs. Virginia came in with the lowest scholarship offer of any of my acceptances, and UCLA was just a little too far away from home, so it became a battle between Duke and Michigan. My parents earned graduate degrees at Duke, so I was certainly leaning in that direction, but Michigan just felt…
I will add my advice here once my cycle is done. Currently trying my best to get into my dream school with a nice scholarship. Wish me luck!
…school you can. You might be surprised. Try to negotiate scholarship amount even if you read online about a policy of non-negotiation. I was success in negotiating at least one additional amount.
