Admitted to University of Maryland…schools except NYU and Maryland. NYU: Applied to a named scholarship; wrote a specific essay for it, but one of my existing LORs fulfilled the scholarship application requirement. Rejected from scholarship early March.

Follow the applicant data that comes out. Judging by the data that came out, this is a competitive cycle at reach schools and for scholarship $ at target schools. When I was rejected from my reach schools, I decided to send a second wave of applications. When looking at scholarships, consider your total cost…
…the appeal 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…

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.

Me: Not really, thank you so much for the call! Adcom: Okay great have a good week! Call ends Me: wait no I have so many questions that I…
…other applications.- Received around an 70% tuition scholarship despite seemingly giving up most of my leverage. I’ll be attending UNC for Fall ’22, and found this site to provide great information during a very stressful process. For those interested in my LOCI process or have questions about UNC Law, shoot me a…
…I definitely think it helped me get into UNC with a scholarship. I would recommend you listen to the interviews with admissions faculty members 7Sage has on their podcast. They offer some insight and useful tips for when applying. Remember, you’ve got this! Best of luck with your admissions cycle!
Apply early and write the supplemental essays; even though they’re tedious, they’ll help you have a better chance of acceptance and scholarships.
