…from every school you can. You might be surprised. Try to negotiate scholarship amount even if you read online about a policy of non-negotiation. I was success in negotiating at least one additional amount. A small one, but every penny counts. Choosing Schools Don’t let U.S. News rule your decisions- Be sure to…

Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Penn State Law…bigger scholarship than Saint Louis that could be used for negotiation. Same story for Tennessee, Penn State, Baylor, and Texas A&M (competition for Missouri), although Missouri declined to negotiate with my Penn State full ride. The USC and BU applications were also primarily to compete with WashU, though WashU…
…kinda weird to not get the full-tuition here. Plan to negotiate. 1/29-2/2 - UNC hold, which feels like a soft WL based on last year’s data. – TAMU WL… – BC WL… – IU negotiation did not work :/ 2/5-2/9 - no decisions, applied for UCI PSS. 2/19-2/23 - OSU A, scholly coming later. 2/26-3/1 - Emory A w/ $$$. 3/4-3/8 -…
…are historically generous with aid. Did not have much luck negotiating but I only tried for the University of Maryland.
…helped with this. Don’t hesitate to ask for fee waivers, negotiate offers, etc. I did not pay the application fee at any of my schools. I did pay the CAS profile fee at each of them Total Cost of Applications: ($195 + (9 schools * $45.00)) = $600.00- Also, don’t put up with sub-par service and responses from…
…grew. Unfortunately, Northeastern does not do scholarship negotiations. They awarded me an extremely generous scholarship, but it felt weird to consider their schollie over the numerous full tuition offers I had received. I ended up choosing Northeastern in the end though. In the end, I decided I cared a lot more…
…a cut-throat high turn-over environment. Lots of work with negotiations, contracts, and consulting clients. Had a major life event going into my senior year of college that made me realize I wanted to go to law school. Unfortunately I had not prioritized grades and was focusing on athletics the past 3 years. Grinded…
…LOCI to UC Hastings. I currently have a sick ass gradient. Negotiated with PSU and UNLV. PSU raised scholarship to $30k per year. Thought it was a done deal, that is until UNLV swooped in with a truly awesome offer. They are offering me a Graduate Fellowship that decreases my tuition to the in-state rate and are…
…to schools I wasn’t super interested in to help me negotiate offers at other schools I care more about).
…out to any of the schools I was offered admission at to negotiate scholarships. Cardozo is the only school which altered my scholarship amount. Aside from Brooklyn & Cardozo, all other acceptances were the equivalent of a full ride for all 3 years for each school. Both Penn State and New York Law School offered…
…consider going there or it was useful for scholarship negotiation with another school.
…to wait until February for scholarship. Heard they don’t negotiate but try to give best offer first. Was surprised by how much it was but I wrote a strong essay for why I was interested in the program. Penn state law: A w/scholarship noticed they are very generous with $ Hofstra: Gave a full scholarship but upon…
…Received all fee waivers that I requested. Did not negotiate any scholarships or write any LOCIs for the schools I was waitlisted at. Withdrew from WashU in late March - I interviewed in late Oct and was essentially ghosted. I had chosen a school already and elected to withdraw before receiving a decision.
