<p>Would someone with these statistics still be able to land a substantial scholarship (i.e. >50%, close to 75% of tuition) at a T-14 law school? </p>
<p>Also, are most scholarship decisions at top law schools first prioritized based on an applicant’s GPA and then only is his/her LSAT considered? Or do both GPA+LSAT fare equally?</p>
<p>I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t understand your question. What is your gpa? There’s a heck of a lot of variation in the top 14 as to what constitutes a gpa “slightly below median.”</p>
<p>Let’s hypothetically say the GPA of the applicant in mind was a 3.6, or 3.57. </p>
<p>(As far as the median GPA of the top 14 law schools goes, suppose roughly it is a 3.64)</p>
<p>Why are we dealing with this in hypothetical terms? Only real people are eligible to win scholarships.</p>
<p>Definitely true bluedevilmike, I get you; I just said hypothetical because I am not finished with undergrad yet. So, let’s proceed assuming the data are real.</p>
<p>is this your actual LSAT score, or projected?</p>
<p>This may sound rude, but there is no universe in which the median gpa of the top 14 law schools is a 3.64. I just checked the data for the class that entered in 2007–a while back now. Georgetown, ranked #14 back then, had a median gpa of 3.63…including students in its night law school. </p>
<p>So, is your question really whether you can get merit money from Georgetown? </p>
<p>The only way you can tell whether you’ll be offered merit money is to apply and see what happens.</p>
