hello,
hope your cycles are going well! I was wondering if anyone who knows about these awards can help me out. I see on LSAC that you are able to transmit the form electronically and that you can type in the box. In another part of the form, however, it says that you should attach answers to the form if you are using a computer. Is it not ok then to just fill out the boxes and submit? How should one attach the answers? I am a bit confused. Also, in terms of GPA, should you list your LSDAS GPA or your degree gpa. Thanks in advance!

call the school and ask, but I believe it can be submitted electronically when you submit your application (sounds like you haven't submitted yet?)

I just snail mailed mine. But they got it.

Does anyone know if these are ever awarded to people who are not above both 75th percentiles?

[dytelb]

haven't submitted my app yet-you think i can just type the paragraphs in the boxes? also-from what i have read, soft factors count a lot for this, so maybe the 75th percentile thing isn't a no go.

I hope so...also I hope there isn't a big emphasis on a word limit...

Does anyone know anything about how many are given out, and what kind of numbers they're looking for?
