Apply to a lot of places for scholly leverage. Do not only apply where you will attend.

As a TX resident, you will be able to negotiate for up to 20-25k/yr at UT but you'll need to apply elsewhere for that.

Why go to law school? Sounds like you could do a lot of good for people with substance abuse problems without going to law school. I'm about as non-religious as one can get, but, as someone who works in the criminal justice system, I have seen AA type programs do a lot of good even if they are faith based.

Very credited, but cool your jets first. You'll have several months after you get your LSAT score before schools will even accept your application. Just relax and focus on the test for now, no need to worry about school selection. Good luck on Monday.DELG wrote:Apply to a lot of places for scholly leverage.

Start at CCN and include the rest of the T14, once application season gets started you should get a ton of fee waivers if you score 170+ on the LSAT. Include schools like UCLA and USC if they give you waivers. Solicit ones from schools that don't give you one. Scholarships are a lot more difficult to predict than admissions, so you'll want to cast as wide a net as possible to maximize your leverage.dallas0013 wrote:Thanks for feedback.
In response to above: My jets are pretty cool. I signed up for the LSAT b/c I work part time as a test prep tutor. But, having recently gotten married and learned that houses and children don't come free woth a certain number of brownie points, I'm wanting to keep the law option open. 3 years ago I told everyone to quit telling me to go to law school--was not planning on getting married, then met the kind of girl like you read about, etc. All that said, if I blow it on the LSAT I'm fine. Frankly would make the decision much easier.
To where would you apply along with UT for bartering purposes?
