Wow really?? So if you are attending Harvard you are expected to take out at least 35k/year?? Thats still a lot of money for someone poor like me. Thats about 7k less than my yearly family income. Im really hoping not to exceed the Stafford limit for loans per year.im_blue wrote:Why do you need a scholarship to attend law school?

thats 35k/year for its expected COL of $71,000... you definitely can live using much less of that $71,000, especially if you pick cheaper housing options.tkgrrett wrote:Wow really??

It's a lot of money for everyone. Most people's families aren't paying for law school. You should be lucky Harvard even cares at all, most law schools don't give a rats ass if your family is poor or not.tkgrrett wrote:Wow really??

Even if you got a full ride at a CCN or T10, you'd still have to take out 15-20k/year for COL. It'd be incredibly stupid to turn down HLS to save about 50k total.tkgrrett wrote:Wow really??

chicago gives the most schollies to those accepted with your stats (both of which are above their medians). 2/3 accepted applicants reported receiving a scholly compared to nyu's 1/3 and columbia 1/2.argusdeng wrote:176/3.92 at an Ivy and I really need a scholarship to attend law school.
I have done RA work and independent poli sci research projects, some internships abroad plus other leadership stuff on campus. I have LORs from two professors who advised my research projects.
I am still researching and I am thinking of applying to all T10 schools+Georgetown, but was wondering what my chances at getting scholarship (30%+) from CCN, esp. Columbia, given LSAT (I heard it has to be 178+ to get Hamilton?).
Also, is it worth it to apply to Academic Scholars Program at NYU? It requires an extra essay and if chances are significantly slim I would rather focus more on other components of my apps.
Any other schools I should consider applying to?
Many thanks!
Apparently if you hold Chicago hostage by telling them you're going to HYS instead they'll bump up their scholarship in some cases... I think i've heard several TLS people say this has happend to themnajumobi wrote:chicago gives the most schollies to those accepted with your stats (both of which are above their medians). 2/3 accepted applicants reported receiving a scholly compared to nyu's 1/3 and columbia 1/2.argusdeng wrote:176/3.92 at an Ivy and I really need a scholarship to attend law school.

by far the most prevalent scholly package given by chicago seems to be 60k total. the most prevalant scholly package given by columbia seems to be 153k, followed closely by 75k. for nyu the most prevalent range looks like a 75k-90k package.
