…than LSAT applicants and 2) you may not receive as much scholarship money as you would have with a high LSAT score. If you feel like the GRE is a better fit for you and you’re willing to accept some uncertainty, go for it! I’m glad I did. Best of luck! :)

…your materials. Don’t be afraid to ask for more $ during scholarship reconsideration, even if you don’t have a competing offer! Saying ‘I will commit on the spot if you offer X’ can be very powerful. Find some friends who are also going through this process. It makes the journey so much easier.
