With deposit deadlines closing in, Jake walks through everything you need to know about the final stretch of the admissions cycle. Do schools actually negotiate scholarships right now, when applications are at a 15 to 20 year high? The answer is more complicated than the Reddit threads might suggest.

Jake breaks down how to find out if your school negotiates, what to say when you reach out, and what makes a compelling case for more money. He also covers the biggest change to law school financing in years: the end of grad plus loans and what that means for how you budget your legal education.

Plus, a look at the data on LSAT test takers and what it signals for next year's applicant pool, and why if you're planning to apply next cycle, earlier is better than ever.
