…great offers from several 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.

…full ride to UGA on my last application, and used that to negotiate a full ride to the University of Florida. I was only able to do this because the Thinking LSAT podcast turned me onto the possibility of getting an LSAC fee waiver, which was gold. My total cost of applying was about $750.

…W&L, UIUC, Wisconsin, UMD, and Cardozo for scholarship negotiations with Wake. I reached out to two Wake alumni to determine whether Wake was worth the extra cost over Miami with my goals in Florida.
