Admitted to Southern Methodist University**Updates in Italics: ** (03/04/2024) Offered Sumners Scholarship at SMU on 03/01/2024. The Sumners Foundation is a private foundation (not through SMU) that offers full tuition and fees, a living and textbook stipend, and sponsorship to attend a variety of civic engagement/policy-related events. Scholarship is…
…received the A for Baylor some weeks later and got a HUGE scholarship for my stats. I KNOW it is because of my mock trial experience, including a top placement at a Baylor Mock Trial event. The conditionality of the scholarship, + the intensity of 3L, +employment outcomes, + the cut throat culture eventually turned…
…$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…
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…
…fought to get me over the highest level of initial scholarship possible. He’s a G and I love him so much <3 Seriously, if you have schools that you are not a lock for but really want, just create the relationship. Ask real questions. Show interest in the school. Talk to current students. Just learn as much as…
…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…
…12/22 with 168 LSAT After receiving a laughable 6k/year scholarship from TAMU decided to apply to some more schools in late Jan for leverage to negotiate. Accepted to Emory 2/5 with 168 LSAT with ~70% tuition covered scholarship Accepted to Richmond 2/6 with 168 LSAT with 100% tuition + 4k summer PI stipend…
…off the waitlist after classes start, but they don’t give scholarships.
…into the future with me guaranteed to go here with X scholarship, would I do it?” If you’re happy imagining this outcome, then absolutely do it. It’s an excellent way to hedge your bets and increase your overall probability of getting an outcome you’re happy with, but only if the finances make sense. Spend a lot of…
…University in my state (90+% acceptance rate) on a full scholarship cause I am poor. No work experience at all my Freshman year, one unpaid legal internship during my second year and full time blue-collar job over the summer. I definitely expect the lack of WE to be a major issue with my application. I also…
…were 169 > 172 > 179. It was expensive but hopefully the scholarships will pay me back. Feel free to DM me with questions. I’ll probably be active on LSD until the end of 2025. Good luck!
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
…I saved ~$400 just by sending a few emails. Also ask for scholarship reconsideration. I saved another $3,000 with one form. Only apply to schools that you can use for reconsideration or will attend. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have applied to half of the schools that I did. And don’t commit anywhere without visiting -…
…to compensate for my < 3.0 GPA and made me competitive for scholarships.
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…
im getting accepted everywhere with hella scholarships bc i am queen of the 5th dimension <3
…Additionally, the higher your score is, the better scholarship you’ll receive.
