Attending University of Michigan

…and I can’t see myself attending even if I received a full scholarship, so…I guess this means my cycle is over? March 12, 2026: WL @ Wisconsin Lol. That’s really all I can say. I was told to throw an application into Wisconsin and Ohio State just as Midwest safeties, so I didn’t strike out this cycle. I ended up…

…Loan: $27,602 for Fall 2024-Spring 2025- Devlin and Denton scholarship: $1,000 for Fall 2024-Spring 2025 Study Notes: Around mid-March I found the blueprint LG book to be a waste of time.- Kinda discovered that with LSAT Trainer too. wasn’t really gaining much from it. LSAT demon free trial recycles questions you’ve…

Attending Florida International University

…email with the acceptance and there was no mention of a scholarship in the email. The following day I checked my application portal again and saw that I received the Dean’s Merit Scholarship under the “Scholarships” section of the tracker all the way at the bottom of the page. The scholarship was for $40,000 per…

…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…

LSAT 174 GPA 3.41 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Georgia

…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…

LSAT 162 GPA 4.19 2025–26 cycle

Attending Texas A&M University

…However, I was a little disappointed not to receive any scholarship money, which could make attending more of a challenge. Still, I am looking forward to see what other schools have to offer before making my final decision. Go Cougars! University of Texas at Austin - Result: Waitlist. January 23, 2026 I was not…

Attending Duke University

…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…

LSAT 174 GPA 2.32 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of Kentucky

…I don’t think UK is known for being generous with their scholarships, which might pose another problem. I’m not going to go 100k into debt for a shot at making 85k a year. I would be lying if I said I didn’t find the possibility of a Cravath scale salary tempting, which WashU could offer me, for example. I have to…

Attending University of Iowa

…as a material change in my application when approaching scholarship reconsideration requests. **Scholarship Info: ** Campbell did not reconsider scholarships this cycle.

LSAT 169 GPA 3.91 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Southern California

…you actually want to go to them or want to use them for scholarship negotiations. My second and final piece of advise is that this process really is a numbers game (to an extent). There are exceptions for URM or impressive softs, but that’s not the situation for the majority of applicants. Look at your stats twins…
