…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…

Admitted to University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign…as a material change in my application when approaching scholarship reconsideration requests. **Scholarship Info: ** Campbell did not reconsider scholarships this cycle. They have 4–5 full rides to submit a separate application for, otherwise I think I hit their ceiling, which still leaves around ~50k+ over 3 yrs…
…free. I wasn’t gonna go if I got in anyways Temple- got scholarship with acceptance. got what I expected when I applied 1/30 no response from any school in January so far (not including asu). This cycle is so slow I just want decisions Pitt- got an email congratulating me on acceptance and asking to apply to their…

Applied mostly by the end of December and by the end of January Accepted into ASU, withdrew after poor scholarship Accepted into UIUC off the WL (sent 1 LOCI on 04/19/25), withdrew after being denied further scholarship consideration Accepted into WashU off the WL (sent 1 LOCI on 04/18/25), put down 2 seat deposits…
…applying to ALL these schools: Look at the history of scholarships. Don’t under-estimate your stats. I really didn’t need to apply to so many schools between 50-100. Public schools in the 20s-50s can be generous. No need to apply lower if you are my stats twin. Look at **509s and employment stats before applying. I…
…great schools that I was able to negotiate up from a half scholarship to a full ride at my top school (seriously, look at my GMU notes. I asked them four times for an increase). Which brings me to my next point on this topic: so long as you have competitive offers, never stop asking all your schools for increases in…
…Chicago placement out of any of those options, but the scholarship offers I had from the other schools ultimately made that decision for me. I don’t have much advice to future applicants beyond do as well as you can on the LSAT, especially if you have a “low” GPA like I do (I did not write a GPA addendum - the COVID…
…weeks, ymmv). GWU - Hold on 2/27, Accepted on 3/19 with scholarship offer same day. NDLS - Appealed scholarship offer using UMN and GW, denied.
…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…
…in Opus appeared under the usual “admissions” tab.- GSU scholarship info: looks cheap, actually is my best offer so far. $2000 for 1L, but full tuition + $4000/year stipend for 2L and 3L as well as GA position. Received a few months post-A. Fordham application went complete 10/12 with a date change and address going…
…of your application to get into a top school with a large scholarship (and to get into Harvard). No element of my application, as far as I can tell, would have been the kind of thing to knock an adcom’s socks off. Rather, I spent a good deal of time making sure that each piece was as polished, intentional, and as…
…did better early on than later. Acceptance rates and scholarship amounts. December is still considered early but in a competitive cycle not early enough and it only became more competitive each month. Apply broadly. Not everyone knows where they want to practice or what type of law they are interested in. And that’s…
…That’s just my opinion. I am going on a full tuition scholarship. When it came down to Temple or about 40% off at BU, I was faced with a really tough decision. Ultimately, I chose Temple due to the scholarship, due to liking the people in the Groupme of classmates more, and because I think I’ll have better chances…
…Emory (80% tuition/60k COA debt after 3 years): With the scholarship increase, it’s a more viable option. I really like how they place graduates all over the country. I liked the campus and how Atlanta provides access to a lot of different externships. Rejected Accepted Waitlisted Pending Still Considering: **Notre…
…to apply in the event either or both offered me a bigger scholarship than Saint Louis that could be used for negotiation. Same story for Tennessee, Penn State, Baylor, and Texas A&M (competition for Missouri), although Missouri declined to negotiate with my Penn State full ride. The USC and BU applications were also…
…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…
I applied so broadly because I wanted to try and negotiate scholarships. Unfortunately the only scholarship I was able to negotiate at all was at GULC. Looking back, I would have just blanketed the T20 + ND and ignored the rest, but I am nonetheless thankful for a successful cycle. GO BLUE!
