…great offers from several great schools that I was able to negotiate up from a half scholarship to a full ride at my top school (seriously, look at my GMU notes. I asked them four times for an increase). Which brings me to my next point on this topic: so long as you have competitive offers, never stop asking all…
…and I asked about scholarship reconsideration. UM does NOT negotiate scholarships, but I tried anyway. I was informed that my request would be communicated to the scholarships committee but that my chances were unlikely as most initial decisions are final. I was also told I would not hear from the committee at all…
…few minutes after admission. Not as much as I wanted. Will negotiate loyola- got admissions email and waiting until 2/26 for financial aid.

…email. Scholarship came afterwards. I attempted to negotiate to hopefully match the offer with Texas A&M, however I only got a few thousand dollars more. I am happy that I got another acceptance at a school like Wisconsin, but ultimately had to turn them down over cost. Texas A&M University - Result: Attending. July…
…school more likely to increase my scholarship offer in negotiations.” (I regret applying to the schools that gave me CAS waivers where I knew I wouldn’t attend It was a waste of time and may have went to another student who could have used it more.) Apply for a fee waiver through LSAC if you think it remotely could…
…from every 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…
…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 primarily to compete with WashU, though WashU…
…be sent to me in 6-8 weeks. Discussed my interest in their negotiation and mediation programs in both my admission and scholarship interviews. WashU emailed my recommenders and thanked them for recommending me for their program and let them know I had been accepted. I have a tour scheduled to see campus on 1/29, and…
…full ride to UGA on my last application, and used that to negotiate a full ride to the University of Florida. I was only able to do this because the Thinking LSAT podcast turned me onto the possibility of getting an LSAC fee waiver, which was gold. My total cost of applying was about $750. I used the 7Sage law…
…apps to be perfect, and I am grateful I waited in the end. Negotiatie, negotiate, negotiate! I used different offers/asks and negotiated with Georgetown 4 times over 2 months before getting to a final offer.

…this is the highest they offer outside of Rothman. Won’t negotiate. Duke: Scholarship interview 3/4. Received email 3/8! They told me it would be three weeks, but I got the offer only a few days later. Looks like a good first offer. Sent reconsideration 4/14 heard back 4/18. It’s a lot of money, and one of their…

…weeks later. My one complaint is that Duke’s scholarship negotiation committee was not very open to negotiations, and my financial aid award did not change after requesting reconsideration. **Yale: **March 07, REJECTED - Well, we all saw this coming. I never expected to get into Yale, being below both medians, but…
…all and frankly very disappointing. I didn’t even want to negotiate. Nebraska: Got a “golden ticket” through a marketing email. They gave me an application fee waiver and CAS fee waiver. Decided to shoot my shot and ended up with a full scholarship! UMKC: My interview was very chill. Just randomly checked my email…
…help you with controlling day-of nerves. **Scholarship negotiation: **You won’t get what you don’t ask for- ask for more time, more money. But be strategic- know you may only have one shot to make your case. Be honest, be sincere, and do your research. If you have the money or the fee waiver, apply to 2-3 schools in…
