Your GPA and LSAT are a little low for money inside the T10 but maybe a little in the bottom T14

Does anyone know Berkeleys % in state, that school is harder to get in than NYU?

I dont, but they LOVE high GPA, and yours just really isnt super high. You have a great LSAT but not good enough to overcompensate.

is there any place you can see how admissions offices tinker with GPAs based off of school?

so i guess this is a stupid question, but what exactly is the range of the $ signs?
I got in to UCLA - no money yet
And I just got 28k a year from William and Mary?

How does this bode for other schools?
