Admitted to Washington University in St. Louis…or Georgetown, but if one of those schools threw me a scholarship off of the WL, then it would be a different conversation. I had an LSAC Tier 1 fee waiver which was essential for offsetting the costs of the application process. It cost me $505 total to apply to the 15 schools, take the LSAT twice, and use 7Sage for…

Read ABA 509 reports to make informed decisions on your application and scholarship process: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx LSATs: 170 > 171 > 179 (studied with the LSAT Demon, wouldn’t recommend anything else). In retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum…
…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…
Cycle Recap: Strange cycle with all kinds of ups and downs. Incredibly excited for Duke,- thankful for my scholarship, and looking forward to what’s next.

…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…

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…
Before you begin the process, write down WHY you want to go to law school. It was more difficult than I originally imagined to wait, get waitlisted, get scholarships, get not enough scholarship money, go to Admitted Student Days, etc. etc. But when it finally came time to make the ultimate decision, I put away my…
…my opinion, is to look at which schools give the best/most scholarships and which schools appear to be more negotiable with scholarships than others. Look at the chart of applicants and see if people with your stats are more likely to receive money than not. It is worth the (admittedly, expensive) application fee if…
…fought to get me over the highest level of initial scholarship possible. He’s a G and I love him so much <3 Seriously, if you have schools that you are not a lock for but really want, just create the relationship. Ask real questions. Show interest in the school. Talk to current students. Just learn as much as…
