How to get $$$ as a URM at regional school

Post by Barack O'Drama » Mon Apr 25, 2016 3:27 pm

Hey guys,

I tried to ask this before and got no replies, so I deleted. I guess it may have been too long. Here's a shortened version.

AA male URM 3.85-3.92 GPA, and currently studying for Sept 2016 LSAT.

2015 graduate from a state school. decent softs (summa cum laude, phi beta kappa, numerous awards, NYS legislature internship, etc)

Wondering what LSAT score combined with my GPA and softs can get me full scholarship at my regional school. I am debating attending if I can gain a full ride. I have family friends who can secure me a job after law school and there are good options if one wishes to practice in gov't or PI locally/ at a state level.

The school has numbers pretty typical of a TTT. The 75%tiles at the school are 3.54 and 153 if that helps determine what I may need.

Thanks in advanced guys :D

Being strongly above both 75ths will nearly guarantee you a full ride as a urm. Anything over 157 or so and you should be solid. They might YP you though. However you have a great opportunity to knock the Lsat out of the park and get full rides from t14s.

Thanks man, it is definitely appreciated. I also plan to knock the LSAT out of the park and hopefully get a full ride to some T-14s as well. I was just really curious as to what regional schools require of URMs to get a full ride.

I would do some research into the school to find out whether or not they give out full rides.
