@Whataremychances: about a week or 2

Yeah I'll be going barring an increase in my June score or an A from Iowa or Ohio State

I just got a conditional scholarship offer of 30k a year, which it still way too much for me to pay. I'm super disappointed as I thought it would be a lot higher.
Whataremychances
18:02
Seriously wondering if I should take the June LSAT and improve my score a bit. Wonder if that would help.
EducationandHardwork

What is your current LSAT @whataremychances
Whataremychances
19:38
Lsat is 160, GPA is 4.22
Whataremychances
19:39
I know I can do much better than 160 as I did in PT's. But anxiety got the best of me on the day.

I got an offer of $30,000 a year, but I was able to negotiate and got it up to $35,000 a year.

I only had a 157 LSAT and a 3.85 GPA, with your stats and if you another offer I would try and negotiate if you can. Every little bit helps.

@Whataremychances: Reach out to the dean of admissions and ask for a scholarship appeal form. I did and got way more money. You've got this!
Whataremychances
11:17
@EducationandHardwork: Thank you, I will! Did you include anything you think was especially helpful in your scholarship negotiation form? I'm still waiting on my scholarship amounts from two other schools that I've been accepted to.

I am still waiting on Drexel and have no other offers. I wonder if I would be able to get a higher scholarship by just asking and updating my resume a bit as I started an internship. I got offered 25k a year with a 158/3.66

@Javabrunn: I was wondering how long it took for you in-between getting WL and being accepted here? I'm in the same situation. Was WL on the 17th, received my WL form on the 22nd and now just a waiting game. 3.9 and 154
Whataremychances
23:08
@EducationandHardwork: I've been negotiating my scholarship this past week. They are now offering me $105,000 (instead of 90k) total and I still can't afford that.
Whataremychances
23:08
I wonder how many times I can negotiate a better deal with them. Did you only need to renegotiate once or go back and forth a few times?
SlimNimbleHound
11:07
i'm really hoping i can improve my LSAT in June and try to get more money. I'm looking at 160k rn for it. love the school but i know i can get a 160+ so hopefully I can get more money
SlimNimbleHound
11:07
I'm going to ASD and I'm planning on asking if I can score higher if I can get another increase in scholarship

I negotiated from 90-135-150 which I’m grateful for but I still feel screwed because first year is 66 and expected to climb almost 5% the following year and I’m sure the following plus interest rates . Ugh I wanna rip my hair out
Journey37
14:17
I felt so close and now yet so far
Journey37
14:17
I don’t feel like I can ask again at this point

Hey, looking to hear others thoughts on this decision- Hofstra is offering a full conditional scholarship and seton hall is offering 150k non conditional. With tuition hikes , I’d prob end owing 45-50k so I’m currently looking into outside scholarships that don’t look so promising. I’m interested in criminal law although that can change. I’d love to be a trial lawyer at one point. Seton is slightly closer to me in distance. Also I’m old. So def don’t wanna rack up debt unless it’s worth it. With a few more $$ I can prob pay off seton while attending. Can’t make up my mind. Thoughts?

14:23
@Whataremychances: I was able to renegotiate multiple times, but made sure to maintain a respectful tone
EducationandHardwork
14:25
@Journey37: I would reach out to Dean Issa and ask to appeal your scholarship. Worst she can say is no.
Journey37
22:25
@EducationandHardwork: thank u! Maybe I’ll try one more time. She’s extremely helpful. I thought I was good with their last offer until I realized I had the cost of school wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️
Journey37
22:26
Has anyone had any success trying to get outside scholarships
Whataremychances
23:08
@EducationandHardwork: thanks, I did reach out again. They made it 35k a year, non conditional, and then today I got an email saying it's their final offer and that scholarships are getting more competitive:(
Whataremychances
23:08
Of course,

I've been very respectful and grateful for all they've offered till now in my letters, but realistically, I can't afford it on those terms. Rutgers has offered me a much better deal.
