Hey everyone,
I'll be applying to Law School this coming year with a 3.92 cumulative GPA and a 174 LSAT.
I am a Canadian, and am interested in any of the T-14, but would love to go to one of the Top 6 with a good amount of money. I was wondering:
1. Which of the T-14 offers financial aid to internationals (whether need based or scholarship based)?
2. Based on my stats, which schools will I likely get the most $$$ from? Also, I come from a low income family that lives beneath the poverty line for my province, if that matters in determining how "low income" I am.
With my stats, I'm not holding my breath for HYS, I understand my best shot would be H, but I am by no means a sure thing. I am hoping to get into at least one of Columbia, Penn, NYU, or Chicago, and will likely go to which ever one I can afford the most lol.
Thanks!

Re: International Financial Aid
Canadian lurker here,
1. We are treated the same as domestic applicants because we have GPAs (unlike other internationals). However, we are prone to slightly more yield-protection since we tend to have superior options especially if we do not swing a big scholarship or HYS.
2. MyLSN. Low income is largely irrelevant except for HYS (only need-based aid) or special scholarships like Anbryce. Non-HYS money is almost always merit-based. But you have spectacular numbers, so no worries there.
