[PrideandGlory1776]

What law schools are known to be among the most generous & what schools are known to among the most stingy?

[ManoftheHour]

WUSTL is super generous and UC HasTTTTings and American are stingy as f@#$.

USC is generous, but they're also hella expensive.

UW (Huskies) is stingy.

[Nova]

Minnesota is generous if your LSAT is at/above median

GULC is generally pretty stingy

[SFrost]

In Florida, FSU and UF basically don't give out full rides. I would call this pretty stingy. I had considered UF to be near family and they only offered 50% tuition. For reference, I was given full rides to three schools 20+ ranks higher.

American and Northeastern are stingyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[Robbin Blue]

In my experience, Alabama and Cornell are quite generous, while GULC is less so.

Realize this changes year by year based on available funds. Last year wustl made it rain, this year they're being stingy.

This is true, it varies.

However, I wouldn't be so quick to call WUSTL stingy this cycle. There's been a wave of scholly bumps recently and a good amount of full tuition offers so far. And last year the game-changer downpour of $$$ happened in June, so it's too early to say for sure what to classify this year as. Rumor has it that last year was an exceptionally generous year, but this year could still pull through for many applicants.

I had pretty average numbers for WUSTL and started off with a 75% offer. They gave me an unsolicited bump to 90%. Do we know of anyone even being given a sticker offer?

I know of several.

Penn State and Illinois both made it rain for me with pretty average numbers. I feel like the B1G schools are generous as F*** while the SEC schools tend to be on the stingy side. Dat northern money.

[guano]

I'm gonna say that generally speaking the higher the rank, the more generous the school, and the lower the rank, the stingier

But the other question is, what's more generous: offering big scholarships to few applicants, or offering small scholarships to lots of applicants?

Making it rain: Illinois, WUSTL

Stingy: Pitt, Ohio State

[El Principe]

Houston is so F'ing stingy.

Vanderbilt is generous although you have to be with tuition like that for a non-T14.

WUSL offered me a full tuition scholarship. I know others that have been offered the same.

"Sticker" means NO scholly help.
