…ffs. They really mean it when they say you have no room to negotiate. Don’t be surprised Pikachu by $0. 7Sage’s regression modeling “chance me” thing-a-doo is shit for outliers such as URMs and splitters, let alone URM splitters. Be careful on the internet. It isn’t just adcomms that are watching, but also your…

…get in on a full ride) but applied to a few more for negotiation purposes just in case and others because why not. I’ll be attending the school I’d planned on from the start but I’m really glad I applied more broadly than that so I knew what I could do and had options. You do NOT want to leave with regrets if at all…
…at 5pm with the deadline to accept by May 9th. Used GW to negotiate up to $20k/year. Also asked GW to reconsider and they could not increase.
I wish I’d applied to more schools so that I could have better leverage for negotiating financial aid. Also, if you’re a college freshman or sophomore considering going straight through, I recommend checking if your school has a 3+3 program where you can do your 1L year while you’re an undergrad senior (off the top…
Write the optional essays for every school you’re serious about, that is non-negotiable if you want the best odds. Also try and apply september/october, I still feel like that does make a difference at most schools. Did not think t6 was a possibility when the cycle first began due to my LSAT being lower than their…
Submit your apps early. Make sure to start scholarship negotiations as soon as you can as well!
…to attend so you have comparable opportunities to aid in negotiating for scholarships. It may be extra work but it is also potentially extra money. Tennessee Vandy- LSD Chat said I should apply and I am aiming for TN so I said fuck it, did all the essays and video but expected an R. I was shocked when I got the soft…
…next person. :) Finally, my biggest piece of advice is to negotiate aid! Michigan says they won’t, but they totally did. Also apply to outside scholarships!

HYP undergrad. Used RTK from NYU as negotiating chip; Berkeley and UCLA both matched it after initially offering FAR less $.
Unsolicited increase from Baylor. Solicited increased from Pittsburgh. Negotiations rejected on all other attempts (Richmond, PSU Dickinson, Temple).
…but getting into another T14 with money, if only to negotiate with, would’ve opened up my options a bit more. cant complain too much though :))) oh also: ppl on reddit and the other forums bitch and moan about KJDs. i was discouraged from applying in the summer and now i thank god i did apply, because the only work…
…side of adcomms. also, it never hurts to ask, so negotiate and know your worth!
…chances 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…
…and see what scholarship is given. Hopefully, I can negotiate and see if that drives up scholly amount.
…to wait until February for scholarship. Heard they don’t negotiate but try to give best offer first. Was surprised by how much it was but I wrote a strong essay for why I was interested in the program.
