I have a question about the 509's specifically the financial aid aspect of it.

When the two category lines are half to full tuition and full tuition. Are they separate? Like if you get a full tuition scholarship are you in the half to full tuition category or the full? Another LSAT prep company said that schools like to hide some of their full tuition scholarships in the half to full tuition category to give off the appeal that the full scholarships are rare etc. What is power scores viewpoint on this?

Also when it comes to the half to full and full is it categorized based off of your residency? For example if the in state tuition is 25k and the out of state is 50k and someone who is out of state gets a 25k scholarship are they classified as a full tuition on the aba or a half to full?

Also the grant amounts the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile. Could those numbers be skewed due to the in state and out of state price tag difference?

Thank You

Hi cdbaker,

Thanks for the post! Those are questions you'll need to ask the ABA, since they gather that info. :) Thanks!
