GWLaw2020 wrote:I can confirm that GW had received 100 requests for scholarship increases by Law Preview Day in March. From Admissions:
"If there were lower scholarship amounts--and we award as low as $4,000/year, some students did receive substantial increases especially if they qualified for need-based grants and then got bumped out of eligibility. There are a number of factors that got into play beyond just the GPA and lsat.--typically lower offers receive more substantial increases."
FWIW, IMHO it is always worth a shot to respectfully advocate why you deserve an increase. I think many are reluctant to alienate the school, but I believe a law school should and will appreciate zealous advocacy in a respectful and non-entitled manner. After all, they are training lawyers. My experiences suggest that the admissions team is patient, responsive, and thoughtful.

Did they offer anything? I'm not optimistic at this point
