I’m afraid of going to a school where my skin has been historically unwelcome and unwanted. To me, it’s not the school, it’s you. This is just 1 of the many products of FAMU who have achieved great things. https://law.famu.edu/newsroom/news-releases/famu-law-valedictorian-shanice-cameron-achieves-multiple-accomplishments.php

I have 3.55, 147, 4 years of WE, and a hell of a story
will famu accept?
12:12
@ChiBamaLawyerbae: with a 147 I honestly think you have a really good chance of getting into FAMU, write strong essays and you should be good!
Thanks!
11:58
@Futurelawyer22: what are your stats?
i have a question
has anyone applied with a 155 and a 2.7?
i worked full time during undergrad and had to take care of my sick dad and sister
19:37
I was accepted with a 2.9 and a 155 lsat, I retook the lsat and got a 158 to attempt to get into a different school, but I was accepted with a 155 a few months ago
21:35
@Vinkevchi: did they offer you a scholarship?
12:24
@Lawchick27: no scholarship. FAMU law is not know for giving out any scholarships really, but they’re pretty cheap so even at full price for tuition it wouldn’t be over $50k max for the whole degree in tuition
7:31
@Vinkevchi: oh wow thought they offer 10k scholarships if you score above 150.
14:25
I'm at 153 and they did not offer me anything @lawchick27
10:16
@Lawchick27: Yeah I have a 158 and I was not offered a scholarship. the only person i seen offered money scored in the 170's and with those scores they can go anywhere lol
