I applied so broadly because I wanted to try and negotiate scholarships. Unfortunately the only scholarship I was able to negotiate at all was at GULC. Looking back, I would have just blanketed the T20 + ND and ignored the rest, but I am nonetheless thankful for a successful cycle. GO BLUE!

…best/most scholarships and which schools appear to be more negotiable with scholarships than others. Look at the chart of applicants and see if people with your stats are more likely to receive money than not. It is worth the (admittedly, expensive) application fee if you can use it to get a few thousand more…

Attending school using VA benefits so scholarship negotiation was just insurance if something went sideways with the VA. As a GRE applicant it does not seem like not using the LSAT held me back. I am very happy with my results and gladly going to Penn Carey. Once I identified Penn as my go-to school, I was able to…

Write the optional essays for every school you’re serious about, that is non-negotiable if you want the best odds.

Did not think t6 was a possibility when the cycle first began due to my LSAT being lower than their…
