Chance for scholarship at UCLA?

Post by kpuc » Tue Aug 31, 2010 3:20 pm

I have a 3.56 GPA and have been testing at 175-177 in my PTs (I'm taking it in October). I was wondering if I had a good chance at a scholarship at UCLA if I did well on my LSATs, and if so, I was wondering which score I should be shooting for.

Also, should apply to many schools ranked higher than UCLA even if I don't want to go to them, so that I could use any possible acceptances as leverage to get more money from UCLA if they don't initially offer me a scholarship (if I choose to go there)?

Thanks!

Anything we tell you is pure speculation until you get a real LSAT score. But assuming you score within your PT range (a big assumption), you stand a good chance to receive some sort of scholarship. For negotiation purposes, you might also want to apply to peer schools (Vandy/Texas/USC) and T14 schools.

Also, keep in mind that should you score in your PT range, you could be looking at much better options than UCLA.

well, I want to study abroad very much. I have never tested GPA, so I am not sure whether I am accepted or not. I want to go to Pris cuz there is a special memory here to me !
Anyway, I will try hard to make my dream come true :)

Minimal for dean's scholarship. However, if your LSAT mirrors your current PT range scores than you might snag 30k to 40k tops. UC law programs are strapped for cash currently. They only spend top dollar on applicants that clear both 75th percentiles or URM applicants--your neither.
