…VA benefits (GI Bill/VRE) to pay tuition and receive a scholarship, ask if you can covert it to cash and you’ll be refunded your scholarship after the VA pays your tuition. Good luck future esquires.
…applying to schools solely for the purpose of using their scholarship award for negotiation can save you tens of thousands. When it came time for me to negotiate scholarships with GW, I realized I didn’t have many solid options to use as leverage. If I’d applied to more schools I would have.
…retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.]. Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for being waitlisted at top schools with a 145. However, I think I was a bit unrealistic, but it worked out, so do what you want with that…
GPA had significant upward trend (near 4.0 for junior and senior years) Duke scholarship interview March 24; Duke scholarship decision April 7
Scholarships are weird and take a long time for some schools. Be patient and do good research to see which schools are historically generous with aid. Did not have much luck negotiating but I only tried for the University of Maryland.

I know the application process is daunting and feels isolating, but in a year, it will feel so far away. No matter the outcome, you will be…
Don’t shoot for the highest ranked schools. Shoot for the schools where your stats are above the median. You’ll get scholarships and will have smaller debt.
…applied, and now I’m attending a T-40 law school with scholarship! Specific advice below: Max out on your LSAT score as much as you can. Due to time, I went ahead and applied as I wanted to get into school, but I was PTing higher than 166 regularly. In another world, I would keep studying and retake to reflect my PT…
…either gone to Tulane, Emory, or Georgetown (lol @ that scholarship)- Hold @ Georgia 2/11 followed by the WL got an II from GMU 2/14 but forgot to respond to it in a week and the option disappeared, which is what I think contributed to the waitlist decision lol. didn’t really wanna attend anyways!
…fully expecting to be rejected, and got in with a sizeable scholarship. Never give up; if you have ANY interest in a school, ask for a fee waiver and take your shot!
