Hi all!

I’m hoping to transfer after this year, and was wondering if any of you got a scholarship (substantial or not) from your new school that surprised you? I’m aware that usually you just pay sticker. The schools I’m currently interested in say that there is limited scholarships available, but they are also under the loan cap at COA. For reference, I’ll be at a tier 3 school this year (no scholarships, even though I was above 75ths and in state), and looking at a few tier 2 schools as targets. If anyone knows of any schools that give more than you’d expect I’d be happy to hear it!

Thank you!

Hi all!
I was WL at UMKC in March, and just this morning I got an email from them indicating to set up my email so I could access Canvas and their portal. The thing is, I have never been actually admitted. My portal is the same as it was since I’ve been waitlisted. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m kind of assuming that I probably am admitted but just haven’t heard for sure, because a similar thing happened at my undergrad.

Edit: they just confirmed it was an error.

Hi all!

To keep this (relatively) short:
I was admitted to a school (T130) pretty close to where I live in February (applied end of November/beginning of December). I am pretty much at or above 75th percentiles for this school, as well as in state, so I was obviously expecting some kind of scholarship. However, after 3 times of me calling about financial aid and never getting a call back, they let me know that I was getting absolutely nothing in aid after I paid the first deposit (I am WL everywhere else).

This school is way under the loan cap at sticker, but I’m honestly offended by their offer. Especially since per LSD, people with my exact stats are getting 10-60k scholarships (even ones who applied after I was admitted). They told me they might reconsider if I came back with a better offer from somewhere else, which obviously I don’t have. I paid the second deposit today since I’ve had no WL movement and will probably end up going there if things don’t shape up soon. If I do end up there, I would probably try to transfer if the opportunity arose for reference. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with negotiating with no other offer? It wouldn’t bother me as much but they are obviously still giving out money to most other admits (besides me apparently). Thanks in advance!!

Hi all!
I am an incoming 1L, who has unfortunately been waitlisted at all of the schools I applied to besides 1. I am in state for this school (T130), but was given no scholarship (way above medians) for an unknown reason. I am out of LSAT takes, so it is what it is. I don’t really love the school at all and I think it may be a hindrance to my goal practice areas (finance/tax).

So, I am hoping to transfer after 1L and was looking for some info. I am not super worried about the curve as many of my undergraduate profs taught and did tests/assignments similar to law school, so I’d say I’m decently familiar. I was wondering:

1. Do you do extra curriculars during 1L to "beef up" your application like for undergrad?

2. How would you recommend making professor connections for LORs in such a short period? About when did you ask?

3. Any other tips and tricks any of you recommend

For reference, I’m not really shooting for Harvard but would welcome it if the opportunity arose. I’m mainly aiming for KU, Mizzou, WashU, etc. I’d also welcome any school suggestions you guys have as well. I’ve also thought about doing a tax LLM after law school. I’m also aware that transfers usually don’t get much scholarship if any. I don’t have anyone to ask these things so I’d be super grateful for any advice/information! Thank you!!

Hi all!
I’m in my early 20’s, and have been on Jolessa since I was 16 (continuous most of the time). I did take ortho Tri cyclen and used patches for a short time before as well (caused severe bleeding).

When I was prescribed Jolessa originally, the doctor told me that I probably did have endometriosis but wouldn’t do surgery. I am honestly fine with this as my local healthcare is not good at all. Jolessa was great for the first 3 years, and then I would randomly start bleeding to varying degrees for months on end. When I asked my doctor about this, they essentially told me just to take multiple pills a day for essentially 3-5 days and go back to one per day whenever it went away. This helped like one time, now it has no effect whatsoever. When I let the doctor know this, they said to keep doing the same thing even though it no longer worked. So, I would randomly take weeks off and the bleeding would eventually die down but it took quite awhile.

My last bleeding "stint" lasted from thanksgiving 2025 to April 2026. I tried the multiple pill thing again and it didn’t work on several occasions. There ended up being a shipping delay so I was without any pills for 2 days, and then the bleeding died down over 3 weeks on its own.

Now, I’ve been bleeding again since May 1st. Never super heavy but enough to be annoying. I’m very tired of this (especially since healthcare is a dead end in my area) and I’m looking for something else. I don’t go to that doctor anymore, so I usually use wisp or nurx etc and just order whatever myself. I’ve been seeing that Yasmin might be a good new pill for me, and I was wondering if anyone has done this switch (or to something else) and how it worked out for them? For reference I’m only interested in pills and I have no intention of preserving fertility.

Sorry for the super long post, but thanks in advance!!

Pretty much the title. It was never in my top choices (would definitely consider with the right $$), but was really hoping to have it for scholarship reconsideration if needed. I’m above median/almost 75th LSAT and above 75th GPA. I did get an email saying my application appeared to be strong exactly two months ago but nothing since. People who applied after me have already been accepted for months now (per LSD). Anyone else?
