S+168, chances of T14/20 scholarship? Forum

[amiaoa]

Hi, I want to ask if I could get a decent amount of money from T14/20.

I'm a senior student from a prestigious school in Asia. My UGPA is 3.55 (but thanks to my school, I got an S in LSAC report), my LSAT is 168. I had a semester exchange at WashULaw, got 3.64.

Money and ranking are my top priorities. How much could I get from a T14, or T20(especially WUSTL and Vanderbilt). I checked MyLSN but thought it's about American applicants. So... does someone know an international applicant's chances for a big scholarship?

You could get a nibble as-is but you need to get your LSAT up -- even by 1-3 points -- to be competitive for the big discounts.

Just a heads up: you have two things weighing against you. Your GPA can't help but can only hurt you; and schools tend to give less scholarship to international applicants. I agree you probably need to get your LSAT up by a few points before getting $$$ from t20, but as-is, you will likely get into some t20/lower t14 schools at sticker.

OK thanks! I guess I'll need to take the advice and work on the LSAT.

Anecdotal - I got 1/3rd scholarship at a lower T13 and more than half at 2 of vandy/UCLA/UT with 167+S. So it's possible. But I had a unique background and was also waitlisted at one HYS and one CCN. With a 168 and better than average ECs, you may get half scholarship from at least one of T20. I applied in three cycles and know several other international applicants, so speaking from experience.
