Highlights
In our book The LSAT is Easy, LSAT Demon lays out three scholarship negotiation tactics. (1) Improve your LSAT score. At any point in the cycle, an increased score is the biggest incentive for a school to increase a scholarship offer. (2) Maintain open communications. Keep those communications short, and don't overshare. When you get an offer for admittance, thank them—it doesn't mean you're accepting the first offer. (3) Be willing to walk away. Don't accept a bad offer, even if it means you don't accept any offers.

Leslie was awesome. She respected the time we had together and makes the most of it. She is not only incredibly detailed, but makes the session a lot of fun. If you are on the fence, I can't recommend working with Leslie enough.Amanda R.
Leslie’s approachable style makes even something as sensitive as our personal statements feel manageable. I only joined for 30 minutes but loved it—and can’t wait to take the full class next time!Hadeel A.
