Top Law Schools

Have been offered admission by UT but have yet to receive a scholarship offer. I do have a $80k+ offer from Wash U (STL), and a $45k one from Michigan- I like all three schools a lot but I'm from ATX (read: I qualify for in-state) and would at least like to have the option of receiving something from UT. A good friend suggested that I use the offer from Wash U to ask UT for a scholarship- would that be better than attempting to use $45k from Michigan?

Use both. Although I don't think they would match Michigan's offer given that in state tuition already saves you more than $45k. And they may not consider WUSTL a peer school for their matching program.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I can only use one competing offer, according to their website:

Haha fair. Have obviously spent too much time staring at NeedAccess and FAFSA, and am a bit fried. Appreciate it!

I'm in the process of negotiating with UT. I have a offers from WUSTL, UH, and Baylor. Are UH and Baylor offers worth mentioning in the letter?

so is it worth sending them all in, or just your best?

You should of done this before they were a T14. But yes, send them all in.
