Splitter Friendly T14 Schools
Which are the most splitter friendly, and which are basically a no-go. In general, for everyone, and then specifically for someone who's not a total splitter, say 3.5 GPA?

UVA (with ED I believe) and Northwestern with WE.
3.5 isn't too bad. If you get a high enough LSAT score you can expect to get into many of the lower half of the t14.

You are out of HYS and probably Berkeley. Other than that you have a chance at all of the rest of them completely depending on your LSAT and whether you have WE (Northwestern).

Chicago is more splitter friendly than Columbia. Also Harvard is not splitter friendly unless you consider a 3.85 gpa splitter status.d34dluk3 wrote:IMO

Re: Splitter Friendly T14 Schools
NYU is very splitter-friendly...for evidence, just look at their 25% GPA. It's only 3.6. "Least Friendly" list is right, though.
Harvard is slightly splitter-friendly, you just have to be a mega-ultimate splitter. Like 180/3.6+.

LSN graph says otherwise re Chicago/Columbia, but that's hardly conclusive proof. What is your reasoning?Sentry wrote:Chicago is more splitter friendly than Columbia. Also Harvard is not splitter friendly unless you consider a 3.85 gpa splitter status.
IMO NYU is not really skewed toward splitters; there's just a significant drop-off in student quality from CC.
I'm a splitter at Harvard, and I would have been auto-admit under Stock. Under Rubinstein, my chances are much worse. Also, 3.85 doesn't even split Harvard. Their 25th is 3.78 this year. 3.6+ has a shot, which is pretty friendly IMO.

I was going by Chicago's sub 3.6 25th. I thought Harvard had a pretty well defined floor of 3.8 no matter what your LSAT was?d34dluk3 wrote:LSN graph says otherwise re Chicago/Columbia, but that's hardly conclusive proof.

Re: Splitter Friendly T14 Schools
Huh? NYU has a significant drop-off in student quality from CC? You realize that NYU has a higher median LSAT (172) and basically the same median GPA as Chicago right?d34dluk3 wrote:LSN graph says otherwise re Chicago/Columbia, but that's hardly conclusive proof.

I would move GULC up on the list.
