You've had a great cycle so far! We've got pretty similar stats. I hope you get into all your targets. What's your #1?

Wednesday, November 01 2017 at 10:46 PM

Thank you! It looks like you're going to do very well yourself. UChicago is my dream school, but I'm wary of paying sticker price (and even if I get in, scholarships seem unlikely). So more realistically, Michigan, Cornell, and UVA are tied for #1, depending on schollies. I'm hoping to visit campuses within the next month or two.

Congrats on awesome scholarships!!

Looks like that LSAT score boost was a huge help at Michigan! Congratulations!! Did WashU increase your scholarship amount?

Wednesday, November 01 2017 at 10:46 PM

Thanks! Yes, Michigan doubled their previous offer after the new LSAT score was released. WashU increased their scholarship offer from $105,000 to full tuition plus $10,000 stipend for three years. I'm very happy with how it's turning out - retaking was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
