…please don’t let any one else ever tell you otherwise! Scholarship- application opened 1/15/24 and I submitted the general scholarship application and the full-tuition scholarship application that morning. Unfortunately, Texas denied my reconsideration for scholarship, so I will be paying sticker to attend. But…

Admitted to University of Oklahoma…Said the admission packet would arrive in the mail with scholarship offer. 12/8 OU acceptance call. No mention of scholarship/mailer 12/8 Hastings rejection email. 12/8 Richmond acceptance packet came with a Deans Scholarship awarding full tuition coverage for 6 consecutive full time semesters with satisfactory…
…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…
…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…
…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.
…10/04 OU A!!

Honestly shocked i didn’t get…
Use your softs wisely. I am 100% convinced my scholarship money came from my softs, I used my personal statement to explain my low GPA (mom had leukemia throughout my undergrad) but I explained how this made me stronger, more focused, and taught me how to overcome adversity. For schools where my GPA was below the…
…school that gives you the best value both education and scholarship wise.
…with honors. LSAC is a scam, and without it, I think my scholarship outcome would have been better. **LSAT: ** Don’t sign up to take the LSAT unless you are consistently hitting your goal score in PTs. You can get a lot of free and low-cost help on the LSAT. I don’t recommend shelling out a lot of money for a…
…worked out in my benefit and allowed me to also receive scholarships that I might not have been offered later on if I waited. I also had extensive work experience in a court setting and feel this gave me an upper hand. Though I had wanted to wait for U of A’s decision, I felt in my gut that OU was the right choice…
…I Went with Mercer because they were cheapest after scholarship, solid LST report, and I’m fine with staying in my home state.
…amount of volunteer work as well. One very prestigious scholarship during undergrad, but it’s less well known in the US than it could be.
I am location locked to North Texas, so it was a difficult admissions year. Finally got accepted to OU which is further than I liked, but GI Bill plus a merit scholarship made it an easy decision. Even with a terrible GPA like mine, law school is achievable. I would have had a lot more options if I could move…
…I committed to IU Maurer. Honestly, the full tuition scholarship helped my decision immensely and I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend law school with finances not being a major barrier. I hope my cycle gives hope to those who have lower stats, but strong app materials. YOU MATTER.
Go where the scholarships take you.
