…email with the acceptance and there was no mention of a scholarship in the email. The following day I checked my application portal again and saw that I received the Dean’s Merit Scholarship under the “Scholarships” section of the tracker all the way at the bottom of the page.

…came with a monthly stipend and an additional $20,000/year scholarship. This is in addition to my merit scholarship. So reach out to the schools, some may have additional scholarship opportunities for student employment. I will now be receiving essentially a full ride because of this.

Getting 4 points higher on the lsat than someone whos gpa is .5-.6 points higher becuase they majored in Communications and watching them get higher scholarships than me is infuriating. If youre in college, major in art, NUMBER BIGGER is all that matters, no degree of difficulty is weighed.

Scholarships are weird and take a long time for some schools. Be patient and do good research to see which schools are historically generous with aid. Did not have much luck negotiating but I only tried for the University of Maryland.

Apply to any and every school you have an interest in (ask for fee waivers), see which schools accept you, weigh the scholarships with the prestige that each school carries, and then make the best decision for your future.

Apply to peer schools of the school you want to attend to have competing scholarship offers to negotiate with. In hindsight I would have applied to more schools for more negotiation leverage.
