In at gw but not bu? Anyone else?

[cinephile]

I'm more optimistic.

I'd say you'd also be in at ND and BU

I have no interesting softs and I got into ND with 3.5 166

Check lawschoolnumbers. People with your numbers were mostly admitted at GW and waitlisted at BU.

im planning on sending my apps out the day they open, i had applied to some schools last year, the 167 was the retake, so i already have my PS done, letters of rec in and everything

do you think i have a chance at money at usc?

[V811]

Absolutely...You'll prob get $60K from USC if you apply early

3.68/167 is 50/50... Some people on LSN had $, but the chance isn't great. Quite a few people with OP's profile were wait listed.

His numbers warrant $$ from USC...you simply need to tailor your app to USC and convey interest rather than spam a standard app across the board. Hence many of the WLs.

should i write a why USC essay? what else could i do?

[confusedlaw]

bump

6 out of 15 acceptances (for #s in his range) received scholarships that ranged from $20k to $90k (median: $45k), which shows that OP has a decent shot at some $. OP, I really think you should write a Why USC Essay...which would ideally also mention the campus visit that you might consider doing.

so you think with a visit and a why usc i would have a good shot, if i was goign to go to USC i would want to get into the entertainment law/agent world, would this be a good school to have this option from

I wouldn't be able to comment well on the entertainment law aspect of your question; but yeah, if you do a visit, express your sincere interest in attending via a Why USC essay (or even a targeted personal statement), and have a strong overall application, you'd have a really good shot IMHO.

I heard that UCLA was great for entertainment law? I dunno how USC fares in comparison.

if i wrote why bc, why BU letters do you think that would get me money, my numbers seem unpredictable here

Well, it worked out for me. Not a "why BU", but a targeted PS to discuss one of their programs.

[confusedlaw]

What were u numbers? Did u get money

[cinephile]

It's in my profile, but yeah my #s were similar and I did get some scholarship (half tuition).

[confusedlaw]
