scholarship money in CA? Forum

Yeah, I'm following you and in all honesty the advice is beginning to rub off. Thanks man.

No problem. Nothing to lose but four hours of your time, man. All potential upside, no downside.

Just curious, did you go down the same road? Did you take it twice? Scores? What was your outcome regarding having 2 scores to deal with when applying to schools?

I took not one, not two, not three, but FOUR times.

My stats last year: 3.60/162:

I was having a hard time deciding between Notre Dame at sticker and Loyola with 96k with a top 50% stip (if I'm not in the top 50%, I lose my scholarship).

I retook the exam two more times after that (already took two times at that point with 162 being my highest score). I didn't think I had anything left in the tank either. Boy was I wrong. Redid Manhattan, did some drills.

This year's stats: 3.60/167.

75k scholarship at Notre Dame and got into USC with scholarship (I was rejected last year) information coming soon. Going to try to negotiate my way up from here. Still waiting for Northwestern and Georgetown.

Waiting a year sucks, but if are really passionate about this career, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not putting yourself in the best position possible.

It's worth it man.

I took it three times. I got the same score twice. My father flat out asked me why he thought I could do better when I got the same score twice. I had a full ride to a t25 and I turned it down without any other prospects because I knew I could do better and I did. I took it a third time and got a 90k scholarship to a t10. so there's that. no need to leave money on the table in terms of lsat points. because each point is worth money to some school. the third score was the only one that mattered to them. and it mattered 90k to them for me to score five points higher

Great call, OP!

Check out the Noodleyone's guide for retakers. I took the LSAT four times, and it was worth every penny. Two years ago I applied with a 164 and was accepted off the waitlist at USC with 10k a year, retook it to 170+, and received 120K to USC and full tuition to UCLA this cycle with some T14 offers, too. A few months of studying saved me 90K at USC.

Best of luck!!!!

Awesome you guys, thanks again. Hey golden, you jumped to a 170 using that noodleyone's method? Thanks, if anyone else has a suggested method, let me know.
