…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 Texas at Austin…weeks later to find out that I received a full tuition scholarship. Unfortunately, this offer lost its charm after receiving the ones that followed. **UCLA: **Nov. 14, ACCEPTED - UCLA took six days to respond with a decision which is absolutely absurd, especially considering that applicants are still waiting for an…
…Nothing will beat the relief of a first admit. Cherish it. Scholarship info came in 3 days later- - $52.5k/year, which should be about 75% tuition. 1/9/2023 UT-Austin - ADMITTED (Total COA, principal + 3-years interest, = ~$120k) Second admissions decision, 62 days after I sent my application. I received my KIRA…
…(COA) was calculated by using Tuition + Living Expenses - Scholarship- and then multiplied over 3 years. Living Expenses- were calculated using figures on each respective school’s website; I didn’t at first know this, but these figures (for living expenses) only account for the academic year, which is 9 months, not…
…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…
…efficiency. Applied to some private schools to test for scholarships, gauge market value, and have reconsideration leverage. Target schools: UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Texas. Completed nearly all optional essays. (No HYS) – Knew I wouldn’t receive need-based aid, so didn’t apply despite my ego being curious. Focused my…
**Updates in Italics: ** (03/04/2024) Offered Sumners Scholarship at SMU on 03/01/2024. The Sumners Foundation is a private foundation (not through SMU) that offers full tuition and fees, a living and textbook stipend, and sponsorship to attend a variety of civic engagement/policy-related events.

…I not only got in, but I also got a 1/3 tuition scholarship. **Look at your cycle with gratefulness and appreciation and you’ll end up where you belong <3 **The only thing that could’ve made this cycle better was getting distinguished scholars at UCLA :D **Details for each app (in order of submission): ** ASU -…
…with NW and UT, and then I arranged a 1:1 w Duke) for scholarships, i did not submit scholarship interest forms and the only merit scholarships (because at the point I was accepted to schools that required them, I had already decided to go elsewhere) i received were automatically considered. so, if you have similar…
…can see myself happy at and one that gave me a convincing scholarship. WashU did both of those things. The area in St. Louis was much better than I had anticipated and it felt like a home away from home. Choosing to enroll at WashU Law was a strategic decision rooted in my commitment to pursuing a career in public…
Received 0 dollars from Berkeley during initial gift aid process, then used Duke scholarship to get them to match. In my reconsideration request, I highlighted what common things drew me to both Berkeley & Duke, truthfully mentioned that I intended to choose Duke absent a Berkeley scholarship, and then indicated…
…as possible throughout the process. I think that I got my scholarship increase at NU because of the essay I attached to my reconsideration request. Made it very clear that I wanted to attend the school, but that it was hard to justify when considering the other offers. Initially turned down, then they increased the…
…is throughout the application. For every single named scholarship I received, admission staff referenced my writing. Give yourself enough time to write and revise, and write every Why X you can. When you are writing a Why X essay, be creative and show how the school fits into your life/plans. Every essay you’re able…
…I felt that T3 was probably more accurate. All listed scholarship figures are merit aid only. Yale - solid Y250 Stanford - solid 3 Songs Optional, wrote LOCI after a few months of silence Chicago - nothing extra, mediocre interview, no LOCI for WL Harvard - nothing extra Columbia - nothing extra, no LOCI for WL Penn…
…Apply broadly. You will never know what acceptances and scholarships you will receive unless you throw a wide-net. I spent $2000 in applications. It was well worth it. – Interview advice: a lot of interviews are temperature checks (are you a normal person). Come prepared with specifics about each law school…
…year (oops). This absolutely hurt my cycle, maybe more for scholarship amounts than for acceptances. Essays and resume differentiate applicants at t-14s, but only once you’re at or above at least one median. Being at or above an LSAT median is more advantageous than being above a GPA median because there are fewer…
making my profile public to help anyone who has the same stats at me! i stopped recording scholarship amounts after i got my award to the school i will be committing to. i didn’t remain on any waitlists. best advice is to NOT apply to as many safety schools as me; it was a waste of time and money and provided no…
Apply early and broadly and never be afraid to send a scholarship reconsideration email. After strongly considering Berk and Mich, personal life circumstances intervened that made it difficult for me to leave SoCal. Still have no regrets about applying to 20 schools because it gave me a better idea of my worth and a…
