…Nothing will beat the relief of a first admit. Cherish it. Scholarship info came in 3 days later- - $52.5k/year, which should be about 75% tuition. 1/9/2023 UT-Austin - ADMITTED (Total COA, principal + 3-years interest, = ~$120k) Second admissions decision, 62 days after I sent my application. I received my KIRA…

Admitted to University of Notre Dame…write any supplemental essays. They love high LSATs. Got scholarship info with acceptance. Vandy (A) - Wrote “First interest in VLS” statement and required diversity statement. Also completed the optional short video statement in their portal. Applied too late to do alumni interview. Scholarship was received the day…
…free. I wasn’t gonna go if I got in anyways Temple- got scholarship with acceptance. got what I expected when I applied 1/30 no response from any school in January so far (not including asu). This cycle is so slow I just want decisions Pitt- got an email congratulating me on acceptance and asking to apply to their…
GW ED Presidential Scholarship —> changed to RD by emailing (had gotten offer from WashU that was more appealing than full ride to GW would have been, I’m betting this will get me a GW WL for sure) applied BU ASPIRE scholarship, did not get, awarded only 75k total WashU interview (with real person) Accepted Offered…
…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…
My advice would be apply for all the optional scholarships, and write every optional essay. This was a tough cycle, but I think my strong written materials were my biggest asset. I believe this set me apart from other candidates with similar stats, both in admissions and later in the scholarship process. I chose SMU…
…why they should accept you (and entice you to attend with scholarship money). Also, be prepared to receive some confusing results. For example, I was accepted to Georgetown despite having some typos in my essays that I caught later and not having written a particularly convincing supplemental essay, yet I was…
…year (oops). This absolutely hurt my cycle, maybe more for scholarship amounts than for acceptances. Essays and resume differentiate applicants at t-14s, but only once you’re at or above at least one median. Being at or above an LSAT median is more advantageous than being above a GPA median because there are fewer…
…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.
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,…
…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!
I applied so broadly because I wanted to try and negotiate scholarships. Unfortunately the only scholarship I was able to negotiate at all was at GULC. Looking back, I would have just blanketed the T20 + ND and ignored the rest, but I am nonetheless thankful for a successful cycle. GO BLUE!
Never mind—GULC came back a week after deposits to offer $45K a year! Appeal scholarship offers, and anchor high! Hoya saxa☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️ Final decision came down to BU and NDLS since GULC gave no aid :( Goal was international law, ideally public international law (probably out of reach—womp womp) or alternately private…
…total reaches for me a year ago, but to be offered merit scholarships as well. Be true to yourself in your written materials and just keep grinding for that LSAT score!
…more successful this cycle than last, with over 8x more in scholarship money and 8 straight acceptances (compared to 0). I think this came down to two factors: **My LSAT performance: **I spent about three months actively studying for the LSAT for the fifth and final time. I took the LSAT in September and due to some…
…offer extended verbally 07/11/2024 - acceptance + scholarship uploaded on portal excited to be going to vandy!
…were transfixed by Michigan when Fordham gave you a full scholarship and you’ll end up working in NY anyways.
My cycle took 158 days. Go Blue Devils! Here’s some unsolicited advice: shoot your shot. I was pretty convinced that T-14 admissions or scholarships would be largely unattainable for me because of my below-median LSAT - but remember, numbers are only part of your application. More unsolicited advice: STUDY STUDY…
