170/3.8, finaid is a crucial component for me
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 9:05 pm
I heard (I think when lurking this forum) that lots of schools are now letting you bargain over the amount of finaid/scholarship you get when going to their school. I think UCLA's dean even explicitly states that.
I'd love to go to a T14 law school, but the amount of money is pretty important to whether I can afford going there or not. Is there a strategy to being able to get a better deal from a T14 law school, like applying to competitive non-T14 law schools and then using them as a bargaining chip? Or are there certain T14 schools that will provide me more finaid because of my decent numbers?
Thanks.
