Admitted to Baylor 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…
…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…
…received the A for Baylor some weeks later and got a HUGE scholarship for my stats. I KNOW it is because of my mock trial experience, including a top placement at a Baylor Mock Trial event. The conditionality of the scholarship, + the intensity of 3L, +employment outcomes, + the cut throat culture eventually turned…
…great schools that I was able to negotiate up from a half scholarship to a full ride at my top school (seriously, look at my GMU notes. I asked them four times for an increase). Which brings me to my next point on this topic: so long as you have competitive offers, never stop asking all your schools for increases in…
My advice would be apply for all the optional scholarships, and write every optional essay. This was a tough cycle, but I think my strong written materials were my biggest asset. I believe this set me apart from other candidates with similar stats, both in admissions and later in the scholarship process. I chose SMU…
…fought to get me over the highest level of initial scholarship possible. He’s a G and I love him so much <3 Seriously, if you have schools that you are not a lock for but really want, just create the relationship. Ask real questions. Show interest in the school. Talk to current students. Just learn as much as…
…Got a 164 in the June 2021 LSAT in hopes of increasing scholarship offers and getting off WLs. Worked for Georgetown, GW law. Scholarship increase at USD. If I could do this all over again, I would apply early, early, early. It’s better to wait a cycle, have your best application, best LSAT score, best everything,…
Apply to 15 - 30 schools. Generally, schools (outside T14) do not consider acceptances from competitors outside the metro when reconsidering scholarship packages. Leverage regional scholarship packages upward based on USN ranking.
…to apply in the event either or both offered me a bigger scholarship than Saint Louis that could be used for negotiation. Same story for Tennessee, Penn State, Baylor, and Texas A&M (competition for Missouri), although Missouri declined to negotiate with my Penn State full ride. The USC and BU applications were also…

…applied, and now I’m attending a T-40 law school with scholarship! Specific advice below: Max out on your LSAT score as much as you can. Due to time, I went ahead and applied as I wanted to get into school, but I was PTing higher than 166 regularly. In another world, I would keep studying and retake to reflect my PT…
…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…
