Admitted to Washington University in St. LouisApplied late December last cycle, rushed applications - no why X’s or additional essays. Wrote a scholarship essay for NYU but that was it. Rejected at Harvard & waitlisted at Columbia/NYU/Fordham. Stats are the same, but this cycle I’ve written either a Why X or an optional essay for every school except UCLA, ASU,…
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…

Renegotiated with Texas Law using all of my other scholarship offers, except NYU (hadn’t received my scholly info yet) – offer went from 54k total to 60k total (off of in-state tuition). Headed to Texas Law to stay close to my fam and significant other! :)

…and get decisions earlier to have more time to negotiate scholarships/aid, but I think it’s more important to send in the best application possible. Even as a first gen college grad with a good LSAT and an interesting story/career path, it still took a lot of fine tuning to create an application that had a…
…vary by month submitted. With that being said, merit scholarship availability seems to be much more limited across all schools the later you apply. On LSAT prep: something that helped me improve when approaching questions was shifting my mindset when reviewing answer choices from “what are reasons why this AC could…
…reliably and afford you the option of squeezing a decent scholarship out of Cornell & Georgetown. There isn’t much love for internationals outside of those four schools (and maybe NYU) in the T-14. I say this recognizing that I certainly outperformed my stats in a ridiculous cycle. For reference, I had a 3.97 US…

…broadly, you’re almost sure to save yourself money with scholarships. I have requested and received CAS fee waivers from Texas A&M, Arizona State, SMU, and Baylor. I reached out and individually asked every other school on my list. A few schools (Penn State, Indiana) reached out and offered free CAS waivers…
