Several PI scholarships have already been awarded

Re-taking LSAT this weekend. Any guesses what minimum score should be to have a chance? My UGPA is 3.54, strong softs and letters.

Well, your GPA is right at their 2015 median, so I would say you can likely feel fairly confident you will be admitted if you hit their median LSAT score of 162.

My application status says in review, but under mailings it says "decision letter mailed"
Are rejections sent via snail mail?
My stats are fair for BC: 164/3.49gpa

Strange! My application has been placed on hold for like a week and today it said a decision letter was mailed. Then, just a couple minutes ago, the decision letter notification is gone. What's going onnn.

LSAT = 75th
GPA > 75th

eastcoastisflat · Post by **eastcoastisflat** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 3:22 pm

Same here. "Decision mailed" is gone. Hmm... I'm guessing it was a mistake.

According to LSN, the highest scholarship amount given last year was $105k to someone with a 170 LSAT score - the vast majority of aid awards were $75k. I was a little surprised by this given the willingness of other (sometimes higher-ranked) schools to far exceed this average award amount (Fordham University for example, gives several awards well over 100k).

I'm anticipating my offer with excitement, as they are 100% my first choice (barring a $$$ miracle at a T14), but I'm strongly hoping that the LSN numbers just aren't accurate somehow..
