I'm not a part-time applicant.

Btw, my numbers were just at/slightly above the median. ~161, ~3.5, but I worked extremely hard on my personal statement, diversity statement and had an excellent resume. Numbers really don't mean everything.

Good luck everyone

Nice, congrats! UH is finally opening up the coffers, that's a pretty good price for a solid school.

I feel legitimately bad for last year's class. When I first applied last year I had basically the same LSAT and significantly higher GPA and got nothing. Then retook and got 5+ points higher and then they offered me the same scholarship you just got. I hope this cycle keeps getting weird for all our sakes.

Do you think it's because they have less applicants this year or is it the quality of applications that have gone down? I actually retook my LSAT in December and my score comes back next week. I don't think I did much better than before, but I am horrible at gauging my performance on that stupid test, so it is a possibility. Do you think if I got a 164/165 I could bargain for anymore money?

I'm sure the number/quality of the applicants has gone down this year like it has at every school. But in the past their scholarship criteria was bizarre IMO. To get a scholarship that made sense to attend a school of UH's caliber (about a half ride sounds right) your numbers had to be way above and beyond, to the point of being UT numbers. But if you have UT numbers then why would you attend UH if all they are offering you is a half ride? If what has happened to you is representative then their new scholarship strategy makes more sense, at least to me.

I have numbers similar to the previous poster who got a half-ride. A half-ride to UH vs. my 2/3rds ride to Texas Tech would actually force me to make a real choice. Congrats to everybody else who is getting accepted and receiving their scholarship offers!

To the poster who is a current UH student - do they have a clinic that deals with some sort of Family Law? I'm thinking about going into that type of law and can't find a clinic related to that on the UH Law website. However, they claimed to have one when I toured back in March so I'm a little confused right now.
