Fellow named scholly applicants - did you figure out if we have to submit scholarship apps at the same time as the general admissions app?

From what I saw, it looks like you just have to make sure it's in by 1/1. I'd still try to have it in by the time you submit though.

Hmm okay, thanks. My essay's ready, but I'm still not sure who to ask for the extra LOR. Do y'all think it's better to go with an attorney who knows me only decently but likes me and is more effusive with his praise than anyone else I've ever met... or a supervisor who knows and adores me but isn't a great LOR writer??

Oof. That's a tough call.
I'm inclined to say the supervisor because they can say more, even if it's not said as eloquently.

Hmm I was leaning the other way (though I guess I could always do both, heh.) But I've read LORs my supervisor writes for other people, and she spends loads of time describing the organization/work the recommendee did and less on the individual. Which could be useful for jobs, but less so for law school.

I think the extra LOR is for the RTK.

That's correct.
