…or Georgetown, but if one of those schools threw me a scholarship off of the WL, then it would be a different conversation. I had an LSAC Tier 1 fee waiver which was essential for offsetting the costs of the application process. It cost me $505 total to apply to the 15 schools, take the LSAT twice, and use 7Sage for…

Admitted to Arizona State University…weeks later to find out that I received a full tuition scholarship. Unfortunately, this offer lost its charm after receiving the ones that followed. **UCLA: **Nov. 14, ACCEPTED - UCLA took six days to respond with a decision which is absolutely absurd, especially considering that applicants are still waiting for an…
…I don’t think UK is known for being generous with their scholarships, which might pose another problem. I’m not going to go 100k into debt for a shot at making 85k a year. I would be lying if I said I didn’t find the possibility of a Cravath scale salary tempting, which WashU could offer me, for example. I have to…
…Said the admission packet would arrive in the mail with scholarship offer. 12/8 OU acceptance call. No mention of scholarship/mailer 12/8 Hastings rejection email. 12/8 Richmond acceptance packet came with a Deans Scholarship awarding full tuition coverage for 6 consecutive full time semesters with satisfactory…
…(COA) was calculated by using Tuition + Living Expenses - Scholarship- and then multiplied over 3 years. Living Expenses- were calculated using figures on each respective school’s website; I didn’t at first know this, but these figures (for living expenses) only account for the academic year, which is 9 months, not…
…cycle! I’m so grateful to have received the AnBryce scholarship, and I have a lot of people on this website and Reddit to thank for their help in getting me there. Advice You do not need to pay for law school admissions advice To find more information about the law school admissions process, I used Dean Z’s A to Z…
…made it easier for schools to admit me and give higher scholarships. I’d also apply to the Hyundai-Kia scholarship for Berkeley and proof my optional essays more, though maybe not as much as my personal statement (I did nine major revisions to that over the span of a month). Otherwise, I think there was a bit of bad…
…offer March 19. March 6: UVA Karsh-Dillard!!! Opened up my scholarship decision on the train because I couldn’t stand waiting any longer to see my decision when the notification came out. In hindsight, I regret not filming my reaction to opening it, but I was in such a rush to get to the airport. I was confused at…
…efficiency. Applied to some private schools to test for scholarships, gauge market value, and have reconsideration leverage. Target schools: UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Texas. Completed nearly all optional essays. (No HYS) – Knew I wouldn’t receive need-based aid, so didn’t apply despite my ego being curious. Focused my…

…predictions on where you would be able to get in and what scholarships might look like. lawschooldata.org/search is, in my opinion, the best source of this data but lsatdemon.com/scholarships, mylsn.info/r/pre-law/admissions/search/, and 7sage.com/predictor/ are also useful. Seeing what kind of schools you have a…
…I not only got in, but I also got a 1/3 tuition scholarship. **Look at your cycle with gratefulness and appreciation and you’ll end up where you belong <3 **The only thing that could’ve made this cycle better was getting distinguished scholars at UCLA :D **Details for each app (in order of submission): ** ASU -…

I was so mad, but I did reconsideration because it’s my first choice and I had good offers to give them. 3/30 submitted…

Made it very clear that I wanted to attend the school, but that it was hard to justify when considering the other offers. Initially turned down, then they increased the…
…applying to ALL these schools: Look at the history of scholarships. Don’t under-estimate your stats. I really didn’t need to apply to so many schools between 50-100. Public schools in the 20s-50s can be generous. No need to apply lower if you are my stats twin. Look at **509s and employment stats before applying. I…
