You could always check their websites and see if any lawyers at the firms are SCU alumni. Personally I haven't gotten the impression that they hire from SCU. A partner at Gibson Dunn told me that they only recruit from top 20.

Pretty sure SCU is going to wait for my Feb LSAT score even though I requested them to render a decision before that. Hoping I improved by 3 or 4 points.

So, has anyone been successful with any scholarship negotiation with SCU yet this cycle?

I will be there! Hopefully the students they have there will be a bit more... accomplished... that the ones that do the admitted student tours!

Status changed from "In committee 2/8" to "In committee 2/22". Is this common? Good/bad sign?

Ya it happens to just about everyone. It does not mean much in the way of acceptance or rejection and I don't know if it corresponds to any timeline of a correspondence of accept/reject. But it does mean you are getting closer! Good luck!

Thanks. I looked at some earlier pages, and it looks like after the second "in committee" change, you usually receive a decision in the next week or so.

With that great LSAT score, I would think you'd be accepted. Good luck, peach.
