Is there a portion of the application process where you apply for scholarships? Or do schools look at your score and make that decision

@96573 I think most schools will just give you a scholarship offer a few months after admitting you/right when they admit you.
I know Cornell has a merit application after you've been admitted though, but it's more of something you fill out that says "I would like to be considered for merit based scholarships."
More red tape by Cornell. Who would not want to be considered for merit based scholarships??? Sounds like a really silly question.
Yeah who knows dude haha. They may do it so the scholarship committees don't have to waste time coming up with offers for students who aren't interested enough to even apply.
Ahhh....forgot about negotiating. That all makes sense. Thanks for the input!

Slightly different question but in the same ballpark: I've seen different scholarship amounts for similar LSAT/GPA combinations. Is this due to softs mainly (excluding URM's)?
That likely accounts for some of them for sure.
What would be some other reasons? I'm mainly referring to law school numbers' data base. Just curious because the consistency of scholarship amounts don't always make sense between two similar candidates.
Some schools also have need based aid. For merit scholarships there are also scholarships for specific URMs, first gen students, those pursuing public interest, etc. You also have to consider that some people negotiate their scholly amounts and end up with more $ than those with similar numbers.

Thanks. If anyone knows any further info, feel free to leave some gems

Mostly Canadian schools. I didn’t do my research on the scholarships they offered but I also didn’t see any form when I was filling out applications
Oh ok. I actually know next to nothing about Canadian schools and their scholarships. Definitely research each school specifically to see what you have to do to be considered.
Good luck

For the schools that give need based aid, there's separate apps to fill out. Other named scholarships you must apply for, but most schools just look at your numbers and make their decision that way. Any particular school/scholarship that you're wondering about?
