…are really good for waitlist info and scholarship negotiation. https://7sage.com/podcast-episode-71-scholarship-negotiations-and-reconsideration-part-2/- —– this is such a great podcast/transcript and I highly recommend it before drafting reconsideration attempts. I used LSAT Lab and would recommend them. I also…
…-update in the portal, scholarship came with A -tried to negotiate scholarship up, but they said they were not able to offer anything at this time
…and the other is roughly 90% tuition which I intend to negotiate up. This methodology won’t work for everyone, and it won’t suit everyone’s individual tastes, but, if your interests align with my own, then I would recommend you consider it. At this point, even if my “reach schools” (t-14) got back to me, with little…
Apply to similarly ranked schools and leverage different scholarship offers to negotiate for more money! Remember, there is no shortcut to a dream. You got this!
…acceptance. From what I’ve heard they generally don’t negotiate scholarships. WashU (WL) - Did not submit any supplemental essays. Invited to interview in March after applying in December. Interview felt fast but went for the allotted time. Seems like a 50/50 conversion rate interviews. BYU (A) - Applied late in…

Get your best possible GPA and LSAT. Write about what makes you who you are, discuss your identity. Apply early. Apply to lots of T14s. Negotiate your aid, communicate your needs.
…blanket them all to give yourself the maximum possible negotiating power.
…at UVA and NU. I don’t know why my scholarship negotiations went so poorly, so it’s hard to say what the misstep was. The one appeal that was successful (Chicago) only came after an in-person meeting with their financial aid team where we didn’t even talk about my appeal. Try to make a human connection, I suppose?…

…They increased my award in January. I didn’t reach out to negotiate or anything so it was a nice surprise! Moral of the story is don’t sell yourself short!

…money. I applied in the last few days as I was working to negotiate my other scholarships up before submitting and received nothing. Multiple other Berk admits had the same experience. My LSAT score carried me for sure, but with stronger softs and essays I think I would have had very different outcomes (proof: stats…
…are historically generous with aid. Did not have much luck negotiating but I only tried for the University of Maryland.
…and loved it. WL is fine. I WITHDREW IMMEDIATELY AFTER NEGOTIATING FULL TUITION AT WASHU Having gone to an Ivy, I incurred a lot of debt. I want my career to extend my expierence in PI. I really am over trying to go to the best school and I just want to go to a school I can see myself happy at and one that gave me a…
…schools higher in rankings but sold myself short. Try to negotiate scholarships, and lastly if you get the chance to interview… DO IT. The way you act, think, talk, etc. is far more important to admissions officers who see you as a “maybe” or if you’re on the WL. Good luck homies and Pony Up!
