…as a material change in my application when approaching scholarship reconsideration requests. **Scholarship Info: ** Campbell did not reconsider scholarships this cycle. They have 4–5 full rides to submit a separate application for, otherwise I think I hit their ceiling, which still leaves around ~50k+ over 3 yrs…

Admitted to University of Iowa…(COA) was calculated by using Tuition + Living Expenses - Scholarship- and then multiplied over 3 years. Living Expenses- were calculated using figures on each respective school’s website; I didn’t at first know this, but these figures (for living expenses) only account for the academic year, which is 9 months, not…
…applying to ALL these schools: Look at the history of scholarships. Don’t under-estimate your stats. I really didn’t need to apply to so many schools between 50-100. Public schools in the 20s-50s can be generous. No need to apply lower if you are my stats twin. Look at **509s and employment stats before applying. I…
…few weeks later off the waitlist at Oregon with 25k/yr in scholarship. The full ride was so tempting but I was just not excited about the school. Again I felt defeated. I Really wanted to get as much money as possible to a school I was excited about. Was super pumped about Oregon, but not so pumped about 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…
…schools are not worth paying sticker price at. Outside scholarships are also your friend, if you put in the work. Best of luck to you, Internet stranger! Godspeed. Unless otherwise noted, all scholarships were received with acceptance. I wrote no LOCIs, I did write most Why X essays, and the only update I sent was…
…Chicago placement out of any of those options, but the scholarship offers I had from the other schools ultimately made that decision for me. I don’t have much advice to future applicants beyond do as well as you can on the LSAT, especially if you have a “low” GPA like I do (I did not write a GPA addendum - the COVID…
…weeks, ymmv). GWU - Hold on 2/27, Accepted on 3/19 with scholarship offer same day. NDLS - Appealed scholarship offer using UMN and GW, denied.
…in Opus appeared under the usual “admissions” tab.- GSU scholarship info: looks cheap, actually is my best offer so far. $2000 for 1L, but full tuition + $4000/year stipend for 2L and 3L as well as GA position. Received a few months post-A. Fordham application went complete 10/12 with a date change and address going…
…your chance to be wooed by admissions officers with great scholarship offers. You can tell them later that they are your first choice, using that info as a negotiation tactic to up your scholarship offer. Write a great personal essay and submit “Why X?” essays for ALL schools, even if they don’t request them. Lastly…
…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…
…6 semesters worth of GI-Bill remaining ask about adjusting scholarship disbursement dates. ND was willing to give my 30K/yr scholarship as 30K for the first three semesters. I’ll use my GI-Bill for the last three semesters. Effectively making my debt load ~20K over three years. A $35K phone call!
…to schools that I was confident I could get substantial scholarship money from. My softs are incredibly uninteresting and largely irrelevant. I have worked as a legal assistant at an insurance defense firm for a little while, but I am still a “KJD” by most standards. I didn’t have involvement in any clubs or…
…if you can. Aim for money. seventh, don’t be afraid of scholarship negotiation. eighth, get recommendation letters early. Bonus points if they are coherent to your essays. Ninth, Don’t apply to Loyola University Chicago. tenth, It’s going to be okay. Don’t get stuck on the big law hype train.
…school that gives you the best value both education and scholarship wise.
…but a higher score could have landed me some better scholarships. Reddit advice is generally advisable, but not the end all be all. I never gave myself a chance at a T6 based on what people on reddit were saying - but I applied anyway and here we are. APPLY EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. My one big regret is not applying HYS…
…with honors. LSAC is a scam, and without it, I think my scholarship outcome would have been better. **LSAT: ** Don’t sign up to take the LSAT unless you are consistently hitting your goal score in PTs. You can get a lot of free and low-cost help on the LSAT. I don’t recommend shelling out a lot of money for a…
