2L SA Diversity Scholarships

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jul 03, 2015 7:31 pm

Some of these look really good. I.e. 25K on top of a 2L SA. Anyone applying?

Let's discuss.

Really? None of the ones I saw require undergrad grades. However, I don't know if its actually possible to get any of these with median law school grades.

Do you think firm X will be more or less selective, grade wise, in selecting the scholarship recipient, than the firm normally is.

I.e. If Proskaur generally dips into median quite often, will they have a higher or lower standard, or the same, for the diversity fellow? I heard that for 1L diversity apps, the firms were willing to go lower in the class if non-grade factors were strong.
