Admitted to University of Nebraska…cycle! I’m so grateful to have received the AnBryce scholarship, and I have a lot of people on this website and Reddit to thank for their help in getting me there. Advice You do not need to pay for law school admissions advice To find more information about the law school admissions process, I used Dean Z’s A to Z…
…The only thing that was not great was that they sent scholarship info through the snail mail, but far and away the best acceptance package. Mizzou: Radio silence from them until I got a phone call on 11/28 from the Dean of Admissions. Also used the snail mail for scholarship info. Will not reconsider scholarships…
…$750. I used the 7Sage law school predictor and LSAT Demon scholarship estimator to choose the schools I applied to. I wish I would have relied more heavily on Law School Data instead. Had I gone through last year’s admissions graphs, I would probably have applied to fewer/different schools in my hunt for a full…
…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.
…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…
…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…
…and University of Utah. As you can see from the scholarships I received, cost was a large factor. I didn’t need a school that could get me into big law, I only needed a school that would give me a good legal education packed with public interest experience. I saw Gonzaga for this, its low cost of living,…
…University in my state (90+% acceptance rate) on a full scholarship cause I am poor. No work experience at all my Freshman year, one unpaid legal internship during my second year and full time blue-collar job over the summer.

…school you can. You might be surprised. Try to negotiate scholarship amount even if you read online about a policy of non-negotiation. I was success in negotiating at least one additional amount. A small one, but every penny counts. Choosing Schools Don’t let U.S. News rule your decisions- Be sure to check on law…
Apply early. Negotiate scholarships.
I tailored the last paragraph of my personal statement to each school, and I believe that contributed (in part) to the scholarships I received.
A lot of scholarship, location, and support system factors made Nebraska an easy decision for me and I love my interactions with Dean Moberly.
Go where the scholarships take you.
