[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, my 1st question is how hard or is it possible to get scholarships/FA from a top 14 law school? DC is attending college in the fall at a top SLAC and is aspiring to study environmental science, law and public policies. Any advice will be appreciated! [/quote]

Not OP, but I got one at Georgetown.  My sense of what were the contributing factors: (1) high LSAT (174); (2) hard-core major (math); (3) good undergrad grades; and (4) documented interest in a particular specialty (law & econ/antitrust).

Other people had better LSAT scores and better grades than I did, so it was not just about those two numbers.[/quote]

Georgetown law school is well known for awarding lots of merit scholarships to both incoming first year law students as well as to transfer law students.

The top 3 law schools (Yale, Stanford, & Harvard) do not award merit scholarships, but these law schools do award need based financial aid.[/quote]

I don't disagree, but the poster asked about T-14, which includes Georgetown.  [/quote]

No, Georgetown is T15. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/georgetown-university-03032[/quote]

The schools at 14-16 move around pretty frequently. It’s why a student with high stats is more likely to get a merit scholarship from these schools. They’re constantly competing to improve their rankings.[/quote]

No they don’t. There is a significant drop off at T14 which is why the Dean and others keep referring to it.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. [b]The difference between 14-17 is meaningless[/b]. Those schools are always moving around. [/quote]

Not in today's law and nomenclature. https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid-211356-why-are-the-top-14-law-schools-called-the-top-14/.  Talk to any student trying to get into law schoool; it's all T14 or bust if they can do it.[/quote]

Not the kids I’m talking to. They’re factoring in quality of life. And yes, turned down 14 for one slightly lower. [/quote]
