They say that if no scholarship was mentioned in the letter, then it means they did not offer a scholarship 🥲🥲

late app is lowkey good because you're throwing yourself in the mix around the time many accepted students are withdrawing their applications
14:44
Probably true, your app might stick out to them because its new

I'm below both medians though
16:14
Yea me too, I think that's why I've been waiting for so long.
19:04
I'm expecting rejections from the 4 schools I applied to. Will retake LSAT and try again in October
19:05
They normally don't admit students below both medians unless you have something exceptional that makes you stand out
19:05
