Admitted to Wake Forest University…Maybe withdrawing was premature. I already had the full scholarship from Miami and the half scholarship from FSU. Applying early and broadly helps! Miami was running out of scholarship money and people with higher stats started getting smaller scholarships in the spring. They also took about two months to send the…

…made. You’ll receive an email within 24 hours.” Got my scholarship info via email 24-ish hours after decision UT Knoxville: Morning of 1/22 my status changed to “pending decision” and I received an email later in the day with “Exciting news from UT College of Law” in the subject line. Scholarship came on 2/6 via…
…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…
…retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.]. Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for being waitlisted at top schools with a 145. However, I think I was a bit unrealistic, but it worked out, so do what you want with that…
…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…
…and speak to my interest/why law. When it comes to scholarships, know your worth and do not be afraid to ask a school for more money. It is in their best interest to have great candidates attend, graduate, and be successful attorneys. If you want it, be respectful, have back-ups and support for your asks and go for…
…options I received and the leverage they gave me during scholarship reconsideration. Apply early: Shoot for maybe before November, but you’ll be fine at most schools if you apply later. Some schools like USC and Georgetown take FOREVER if you apply past November. Be realistic: Always make sure you have a good…
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
…at UNC and GMU. Finally, please negotiate your scholarships. You have nothing to lose by asking, and I got very positive responses when I asked politely and sent in my other offers.
…before withdrawing from schools that offered no scholarships, but there was good reason as I could go at no cost without one. Keep your options open as you feel out which admission is best for you and take the time to think without making a gut decision. Acceptances and rejections don’t reflect you or your…

…in February) - I might have received more A’s or more scholarship money from other schools.
Attending Wake Forest because: fantastic scholarship offer, beautiful campus/nice law building, great reputation/rank, located in NC (where I want to practice), small student population (for both law & undergrad), near a medium-sized city, many opportunities for students pursuing corporate law, student…
…I would have a good chance at receiving a substantial scholarship from. This has worked out for me so far, and I have two fantastic offers to go to school, one of which a full ride, and the other is roughly 90% tuition which I intend to negotiate up. This methodology won’t work for everyone, and it won’t suit…
…below. Did not go ED because I am going to have to factor scholarship amounts into my decision. Started off strong. Then my email notifications became much less enjoyable Signed up end of Apr to take June LSAT. Took a practice test and got a 168 (so hoping I don’t go below that lol). Going to study for a month and…
…environmental programs. Virginia came in with the lowest scholarship offer of any of my acceptances, and UCLA was just a little too far away from home, so it became a battle between Duke and Michigan. My parents earned graduate degrees at Duke, so I was certainly leaning in that direction, but Michigan just felt…
