Some previous discussion here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/17682/telling-schools-who-their-competition-is-updated-w-answer-directly-from-law-school-admissions

Congrats!

"Guaranteed" is very strong language. The best public source of information concerning your potential scholarship information is probably lawschoolnumbers; however, that data is subject to a bit of reporting bias. Mass emails may indicate a school t…

Customer feedback and PSA: If you are currently an applicant in the admissions cycle, you need to be listening to these office hours and asking YOUR questions. Unless the admissions committee from your target school is giving you individualized advi…

"In the fall of 2017" - fall is not capitalized, nor should it be.

Lol, thanks @AudaciousRed

To the best of my knowledge, schools cannot see if you postponed. I would call LSAC and ask them directly. They tend to be easy to work with over the phone for simple information / process questions like this.

I'm not an admissions professional, but I do live in St Louis. It is my impression based on the a couple of WUSTL students I know that they give out lots of $$$ to keep their LSAT median high. Don't know what they define as "high" but I would assume…

WUSTL loves a high LSAT.

Everyone is different so take this a n=1. I "work" ("work" = volunteer 3 days a week) in a legal clinic physically inside the law building of a school I am applying to. All of the lawyers that work there went to the school. Two have asked if I wante…

For me, it definitely varies by school. I was admitted to one school within 2 weeks of submission. I am still waiting (2-3 months later) for most of my decisions to T1 schools. I'm a splitter so I am admittedly not usually a first round pick at most…

FWIW, I would list anything (within reason) that could be considered an award in your history. You worked hard to achieve success; let those successes work for you now. You never know what an admissions reader is going to find interesting or compell…

I commented in the above posted thread, but honestly, I don't see any benefit to the applicant for giving this information.
-
@mjmonte17 Admission people at both have told me to send an addendum. I am also sending an addendum to each of the other schools at which I have already been accepted or am still waiting for a decision from. Yikes!

Update on this issue for the Veterans in the house. I've had 2 schools offer me admission without any scholarship (I'm over LSAT 75th %'s at both schools). Both have told me they did not offer scholarships because they assumed I had full coverage by…

I don't mean to be silly, but I really think simple is better in this case. And congrats on the jump. +13 points puts you into an entirely different world of consideration.

@"Leah M B" I'll take a look at it this morning if you still need a review.

I used the service twice, once for my personal statement and once for a scholarship essay. Very pleased with the feedback and would recommend it, assuming your finances allow it.

No. But thats just me.

@"David.Busis" said: We're still working to update our predictor and https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/top-law-school-admissions/ with the new medians. Stay tuned! Yes!!! Another data point to stress over

I love how they changed the tuition from annual to per semester. I can imagine the working group (full of school representatives) advocating for that change.

-
@"Cant Get Right" Thanks, this is useful. I really wish they would have the ability to view "$ offered as a % of tuition" column. I think that might be an even more useful data point, due to the variance of actual tuition costs.
-
FWIW, I checked off areas of interest (a lot of them). I did notice some schools tailor responses to my specific ones. I think everyone understands things change and they are not going to review the application with you at graduation. It just helps…

This question is highly specific to your own data points (LSAT / GPA) and the particular schools you are applying to / interested in. If scholarships and stipends are heavily weighted in your analysis, then seek out schools known to give large schol…
