…However, I was a little disappointed not to receive any scholarship money, which could make attending more of a challenge. Still, I am looking forward to see what other schools have to offer before making my final decision. Go Cougars! University of Texas at Austin - Result: Waitlist. January 23, 2026 I was not…

…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…
…schools are not worth paying sticker price at. Outside scholarships are also your friend, if you put in the work. Best of luck to you, Internet stranger! Godspeed. Unless otherwise noted, all scholarships were received with acceptance. I wrote no LOCIs, I did write most Why X essays, and the only update I sent was…

Ask your recommenders months ahead of September. I didn’t get my second letter submitted until after the new year despite asking in August, and it hurt my scholarship and admissions chances. If you’re a splitter, target splitter friendly schools and write optional essays. In the end, I went with the school that gave…
…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…

…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…

…**My safe schools naturally accepted me first and offered scholarships (again, not a concern for me, but it confirms that I have a shot a target schools). I got a waitlist at one target early on and missed the first several A-waves from other targets. This was a stressful experience; I kept reminding myself, “they…
…your GPA. I wish I’d applied to more schools, if only for scholarship chances. Admissions is really unpredictable, but even more so for super splitters. Apply broadly if you’re able to swing the fees. I submitted apps on the later end, but I started a job in Oct that’s relevant to my law career goals and wanted the…
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…
