So grateful for my acceptance! This was such a tough and humbling cycle so to receive an offer from such a great law school with a huge scholarship feels like a dream come true. My advice to future applicants is as follows: Do not underestimate the importance of the LSAT. I was scoring in the low 170s on PTs but…

Take your peers advice with a…

…an option. I go to a “lower ranked” school, but with a scholarship that is basically paying for my entire tuition. My scholarship is conditional, but it keeps me motivated in class! If you found my page, take a deep breath. It will be okay. Which I remember reading and never believing. But it is true!

Davis is a good school as well, obviously, and the people in the administration have been amazing thus far, tied with Lewis and Clark as…
…east coast but have lived in Cali since 2020. Conditional scholarships are a bad deal but look at the numbers in terms of who lose them each year if you have to take one.

…wave an application fee, they’re not gonna give you a scholarship if they admit you at all. If you have stats like mine you should also go to r/outsideT14lawschools on Reddit. It’s an amazing and extremely supportive community of people going through the application process. Good vibes and good advice all around.
…This was totally unexpected but it came with enough scholarship money to make my decision easy. My LOCI focused on their IP concentration, my interest in staying in Minneapolis after graduation, and on a change that occurred with my resume.
