Always renegotiate the terms of a scholarship offer. Good point about 2nd and 3rd-year scholarship opportunities based on merit. Summer jobs also factor in terms of scholarship money, especially at Harvard Law. Remember, It's your money on the line, so look at the cost-benefit analysis.
I loved the commentary on why you’re not going forward with scholarships with post public interest ...I currently work for a public interest law firm and I told my family when I finish law school I’m going to make money. I’m black also
Hi! I’m new to the process of law school. May I ask how do ppl typically pay the remainder? I’m a non traditional student. I’m trying to save money now in undergrad.
Hey! I’ve watched this video like 7 times since Fall 2021 semester when I decided I wanted to go to law school solely to be a public defender lol. Was the NYU Public Interest Scholarship you decided against the Root-Tilden-Kern one?
I may be mistaken, but I thought the scholarship award that you get awarded is for the year, not all three years combined and it renews every year? Duke gave you $112k, COA is $94k, so wouldn’t that be considered full tuition?
@@zoelolaaa Wow, I didn’t know that. I’m prepping for the November LSAT. Super nervous, my goal is 90th percentile like you, 165. I’m determined to get it!
She scored a 166 I believe (mentioned in another video) with a 3.6 gpa. But yes, that is above the 90th percentile, closer to 95th or 96th percentile. Good to keep in mind tho that these scholarships and offers might not be the same for you due to “softs”, the competitiveness of the cycle, and other factors (major, urm, undergrad institution, etc.)
I emailed and asked to talk with someone in the financial aid office! then over the phone I’d say I’m really interested in x school but [similarly or higher ranked school] has given me more money. or even just saying you really want to go but need more money can work sometimes too
Hey ! I love your channel. I need some advice. So I just graduated from UNC Chapel Hill, I am looking to go to law school next year. I plan on taking the November LSAT, but I don’t feel like I’m ready but Duke’s cycle closes this February and I’ll be out the country from December to January. I don’t want to wait till next years cycle. Or I can just study more and take it apply to Unc which closes in May. Sorry to spam, but super desperate and confused.
hey girl! I vote just do you best and take it in November! that way you at least have the option to apply to duke- don’t count yourself out so early! it seems like your worst case scenario is UNC which is also a fantastic school. If you really want duke, though, I’d push to get that score you want or wait a year. you have to decide what’s worth it!
@@zoelolaaa thank you! Do you think 8 weeks of constant prep will be sufficient ? I am going over the foundations and should be done by the 19th of September. My plan was to take prep and practice till the test ? Do you think that’s enough time ?
I appreciate your transparency so much!!
Of course!
Love these videos about Law School Admission Process! Thank you!!
I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
Seriously thank you for your transparency
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
omh love your commentary! Hoping to apply the following cycle after the one coming up, hope it's not as competitive!
Best of luck to you! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for the info. Im so happy for you and I also think you deserve all of these!

you’re welcome! just trying to be as transparent as possible :)
Girl! I love you lmfaoooo your honesty is the best!

Great Video...excellent insight.
Your LSAT video was also really good too.

Love your hair!!! Amazing info!
Thank you!!!

yes it was! :’)
What was your score, if you don't mind me asking?
Hiiii ty so much for this video. Would you consider making a video explaining how negotiations work? thank you so much!!
I may be mistaken, but I thought the scholarship award that you get awarded is for the year, not all three years combined and it renews every year? Duke gave you $112k, COA is $94k, so wouldn’t that be considered full tuition?
Nope! That’s how it works for undergrad, but in law school they usually just give you a total for all 3 years (whereas COA is yearly)

@@zoelolaaa I felt that, same sis!
How would you negotiate?

hey! I share all my stats in this video: ruclips.net/video/6DDSXJ9GXEc/видео.html

@@fatimahbajaha6011 Honestly, I do think that’s enough time. Especially if you can study full time. That’s pretty close to what I did!
Thank you so much ! You given me so much hope💕 a true inspiration, and congratulations ❤️
U Chicago played in your face with that offer
literally! nobody has time for that
what about Stanford
“I can tell you in an email” 😂😂😂😂
This vid was very helpful.. I have a few questions if you don’t mind
Great! I'd love to answer any questions
super informative thank you
you're welcome! thanks for watching!
Are scholarships applicable for foreign students?
Yes, but I don't know the specifics!
2:59 - 3:03 *snaps* I'm sewing that on a pillow and slapping it on a mug!

Hii!! When did you apply?
I applied early november! like the 2nd or 3rd
