…as a material change in my application when approaching scholarship reconsideration requests. **Scholarship Info: ** Campbell did not reconsider scholarships this cycle.

Admitted to Florida State University…Maybe withdrawing was premature. I already had the full scholarship from Miami and the half scholarship from FSU. Applying early and broadly helps! Miami was running out of scholarship money and people with higher stats started getting smaller scholarships in the spring. They also took about two months to send the…
…$750. I used the 7Sage law school predictor and LSAT Demon scholarship estimator to choose the schools I applied to. I wish I would have relied more heavily on Law School Data instead. Had I gone through last year’s admissions graphs, I would probably have applied to fewer/different schools in my hunt for a full…
…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…
Reverse Splitter that ended up with a good number of waitlists. All in all, my cycle went well, and I got scholarship money at every single school that accepted me. One thing to note, if you’re LSAT is on the lower end like mine, EVERYTHING matters. Your Personal statement, your recommendations, your why x essay,…
…did better early on than later. Acceptance rates and scholarship amounts. December is still considered early but in a competitive cycle not early enough and it only became more competitive each month. Apply broadly. Not everyone knows where they want to practice or what type of law they are interested in. And that’s…

If I could do it over I would apply to more T14s, even those I have no interest in, just to have more leverage in scholarship negotiations.
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.
…on my essays were a large factor in my acceptances and scholarships, as well as applying early (in October/early November). If an essay is optional, do it. Schools expect you to complete all writing questions to demonstrate that you have true interest in attending. I picked Emory due to the fact that I wanted to…
…of Wisconsin-Madison as they provided a full-ride scholarship to me, and Madison, WI, is a great place to live. I eventually want to move back west as I will be leaving the region but am okay being in Wisconsin for school and working here after for a bit.

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.
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
