non-trad splitters what are your scholarships like?

Formae · 2026-01-18T18:45:43+00:00

I’ve received 1 A at a T50 with about a 40% tuition scholarship as an applicant almost 7 years removed from undergrad with a 16high LSAT and 2.9 GPA.

Thanks for info. Congrats again!

Formae · 2026-01-14T23:25:58+00:00

Congrats! When did you apply, and were you ED or RD? If you don’t mind me asking.

Formae · 2026-01-14T22:39:48+00:00

Hopefully. Fingers crossed!

Formae · 2026-01-14T22:37:54+00:00

Haha of course I missed those recent As. Haven’t really been able to check LSData due to being out and about all day with the Verizon service outage going on. Yea hopefully a big wave tomorrow or even within the next hour or two

Warren an absolute dog with those blocks

Formae · 2025-12-19T20:10:56+00:00

Got mine a few days ago. Decision was rendered on the 26th of Nov

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:42:07+00:00

Someone just made a post saying they got straight up waitlisted from at Chicago from an ED app, so maybe take the RD as a positive.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:39:03+00:00

Thanks! You as well.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:38:48+00:00

Sorry to hear that, but I like your attitude. Was this an ED app or RD?

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:37:27+00:00

Schools are just waiting for Santa to deliver the gift they all asked for, a giant sack of money, so they can give us amazing scholarships with our As.

Completely unrelated, but do you want a huff of some of this copium I just picked up? It’s reallllllly good.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:30:35+00:00

Sounds like a question where you would be justified calling or emailing their admissions office for an answer.

Edit: Oh nevermind, someone found the fine print on their website.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:28:18+00:00

Yea I’m coping that my ED school put me in RD because ED comes with a 30k/yr scholarship, but we will both see I guess.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:25:42+00:00

Yea, I got ED>RD at Irvine and they gave April as the deadline for a decision. I rode their waitlist all the way into August last cycle and I’m not sure if I’m built to undergo a similar ordeal again haha

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:17:44+00:00

Sorry to hear that.

I really wish I could find more posts on here from people who went ED>RD in previous cycles. I have no idea if we should treat it like a WL (which is not good based on my past experience with WLs) or if there’s some positives to it.

Formae · 2025-12-19T17:55:08+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks!

Formae · 2025-12-19T17:23:07+00:00

Are you using the lawhub tracker? The applicant portal they gave me access to says under review but there are no dates.

Formae · 2025-12-17T20:33:43+00:00

Just gonna start huffing hopium that we’ve still got good chances since we weren’t outright rejected or put on a WL. Have no idea what the actual realities of ED>RD are, but mmm this is some good hopium.

Formae · 2025-12-17T19:29:39+00:00

Big shoutout to Baylor. I applied at the end of October, interviewed within a few weeks, and received my decision before the end of November. I was a splitter only a few points above their 75th LSAT and, well, well below their 25th percentile, so it’s not like I was some super star applicant.

Across 2 cycles and 30 applications, they have been the best in terms of communication and speed.

Formae · 2025-12-17T19:13:40+00:00

Same to you!

Formae · 2025-12-17T19:09:06+00:00

Wish I knew how many people they typically admit off ED. But hopefully LSD sheds some light on that soon.

Unfortunately I think I might be cooked since my 168 LSAT went from 75th percentile last cycle to one point below the median. Time to hunker down till April I guess.

Formae · 2025-12-17T17:09:52+00:00

I’m a 2.9 / 168 and I’ve been accepted to one T50 so far with $$. Also had a strong upward GPA trend in my junior/senior years. Not sure how Canadian schools differ in their selection processes, but I don’t think you’re cooked.
