FYI law admissions site updated to 2023 info, looks like UH is 30% BL now. Makes me feel SLIGHTLY better

I would email and ask about scholarship reconsideration and make it clear how important it is to you.

Email seems better. You do this once in your life, the admissions staff do this for 3 months at a time, every year. You don't want to give an off-the-cuff answer that undermines any leverage you have.

Whether by lowballing your ask, taking uncertainty/a nonresponse on their end as a cue to lower your ask, letting on that you would enroll at their current offer, whatever

Same reason people who negotiate car purchases by email do way better than anyone who walks in and plants themselves across the table from a professional salesperson

What if a school gave you no money at all? How do I ask for money?? haha
stepdad
11:37
If you have other scholarhsip offers you use those as leverage
jb2028

@TwinPeacock: Share a better $ offer from a peer school and/or an A from a better school
TwinPeacock
11:38
Too bad I don't haha
YouJustGotLittUp

Just ask them about their reconsideration process. Make it clear you actually want to go there if the COA is right.
TwinPeacock
11:38
ok thanks!
YouJustGotLittUp
11:38
And yes other offers always help
TwinPeacock
11:39
Are you emailing financial aid or admissions?

Without other schools, your main leverage is the option to take a gap year and reapply (less bad for rankings etc., but still hurts their yield and any boxes you check in their class). That does less, because a lot of people are set on starting this year, but it's what you have. Agreed with everything @YouJustGotLittUp said as well.
YouJustGotLittUp
11:39
I would reach out to financial aid
jb2028
11:40
@TwinPeacock: You can ask financial aid who the best point of contact for reconsideration is
TwinPeacock
11:40
Thanks all, very helpful!

It's a bureaucracy, they want to direct you to the right person. It saves time for everyone

Anything beats not taking the LSAT and reapplying. Like most of you, my mental health suffered w/ this cycle. Woo!
ValleyH
11:43
Fingers crossed for the June LSAT :')
YouJustGotLittUp
11:49
As someone who successfully R&R'ed, I'm gonna play devils advocate. Not taking out 6 figures of student loans for a school that doesn't guarantee even average outcomes is worth retaking the LSAT.
stepdad

any of you negotiated after paying first seat deposit? I've got two seat deposits down and want to go to the school that gave me less money. Still a solid scholarship, but i might as well try to get more.
