Admitted to New England Law | Boston…apply early decision. If you do, you can’t leverage other scholarship offers for scholarship reconsideration.
Get your materials ready ASAP. I got mine ready to apply in the previous cycle, realized I would get no scholarship money so I waited for the next cycle since I had the ability to do so fortunately. With that I definitely feel it has benefitted me in the scholarship department. Also really think about where you…
…reached out to them in June asking if there was any more scholarship $$ available, because of HCOL. They doubled my scholarship! I figured I’d ask since worst case they would just say no. Again, totally worth it!
…and University of Utah. As you can see from the scholarships I received, cost was a large factor. I didn’t need a school that could get me into big law, I only needed a school that would give me a good legal education packed with public interest experience. I saw Gonzaga for this, its low cost of living,…

I graduated with an MPA from a top university with a 3.86 in August 2020 where I also received a full-ride scholarship. This experience and my active volunteering and being an activist in the community have increased my chances of getting accepted into law school with a low LSAT Score.
Apply to a couple reach, a couple safe, you never know. I got a scholarship applying with the GRE and low GPA. Don’t underestimate your writing and recommendations.
…and engaging personal statement got me acceptances and scholarships of various amounts. Top choice was Northeastern, but New England law gave me a full ride and I’d rather attend a low ranked school with no debt, especially if I find law school isn’t for me

…a single calculator predicted the school I got into or the scholarship I was offered – who you are and what you personally bring to the table matters too. Set your sights high, cast a wide net, and be open to new and unexpected opportunities.
