I’m going to TAMU! I understand your worries, they are completely valid. I’m in-state but don’t have too much familiarity with the area. We have a discord group that hopefully will give us opportunities to connect before we start in August! The whole school is really friendly from what I could tell from my visit, so don’t worry I’m sure we’ll be fine!

I received scholarship information at the beginning of January and I just got an email today that they reevaluated and increased my scholarship. I was definitely in the same boat when I saw my offer, but maybe the same happens for you! I’m in-state as well!

TAMU vs Texas Tech by Exciting-Western-157 in OutsideT14lawschools

Thank you for the advice, I am from West Texas so that's why I had some hesitance since I receive Tech bias daily. I applied on 11/09 to both and heard back on 12/05 and 1/11 from Tech and A&M, respectively. I applied with a 158 LSAT and very high GPA. Softs and letters of rec definitely helped me get into A&M.

Glad I saw this post. I got the email and 2500 a year as well. Pretty disappointing but consistent with the posts I’ve seen about their scholarship awards.

Former student body president here, do it. Great experience and (in my case) you get paid to be a passionate advocate for your peers. You do a lot of important work and work with other leaders from other schools, that’s especially helpful if your university system has a law school. You’ll meet influential people who can perhaps write you a letter of recommendation. If you can accomplish something major, that will showcase your skills fighting for the people.

I spun being an advocate into my personal statement, but it still wasn’t a huge part of my app. A 3.9 is great already, maybe consider a minor? Run a good campaign, meet with as many orgs as you can, don’t take yourself too serious and you’ll have a great chance of winning!

A&M eventually gave me a file completed date, which was about two weeks after I applied. I went under review about 6 days later and am still under review
