I've been enjoying and appreciating he Suffolk APO threads here. The way Suffolk words things makes me worried they are looking for executives, engineers, or people with masters degrees. I have a 3.5 gpa, 162 Lsat from this June. I'm 15 years removed from school. No masters degree. I was in marketing, then self employed 7 years in ecommerce. Top year I grossed almost 500k and grossed 6 figures each year until 2024-2025 it crashed spectactularly due to market changes and I had huge turning point. I started a job last year thats pretty early career in title and duties. Unfortunately I'm no executive or even manager at age 39. I don't see a long term future in this field and I'm pivoting to law. ​ Im wondering if I have a shot. Has anyone without an advanced degree been admitted?

Hey all,

I'm a Florida resident applying as a non-traditional student 10+ years out. I want to do plantiff work/insurance claims, so I don't need prestige. I also need to attend part-time as I plan to keep my day job.

I’m looking at FAMU Law since it's close to home, but the scholarship numbers look terribly dissapointing online. LSD.LAW has barely anyone receiving scholarships from what I can see, it looks like their max scholarship caps out around $15k for the whole program. Basically 1 year's tuition.

Even though in-state tuition is cheap (about $42k total for the whole program), it seems like they don't give out full rides or half rides even if scores are past their 75th percentile. They do have a rattlers for justice full tuition scholarship, but its for people doing public service, and is more holistic based. I wanted to see half or full rides on their reports, but it looks like they just don't offer them.

Is the money there actually as low as it looks on paper? If you applied with high stats, did they actually offer you good money or full rides? Let me know the real deal.
