ED at Columbia and UPenn - Extreme splitter Forum

and you're acting like he can't do it!

I'm acting like it's highly unlikely and not worth discussing until it actually happens.

People just aren't impressed by a 179 when it's accompanied by a 2.X

They got you fooled.

What he said is accurate of top tier schools.

Lower tier schools care even less.

sure it is...

you 2 must be pissed at the world

Right, but that's a very small group and even it looks like you still can't find a single person on lsn with a 179 in OP's GPA range. Yes, OP's outcomes will likely be the same, but there aren't nearly enough data points to be talking in absolutes.

I think I remember someone on here awhile back that got into NYU with like a 3.0/180 even though there are plenty of sub 3.5/172+ folks that didn't have the same outcome.

It's so unlikely that it is as close to an absolute as you can get. Splitters are harder to predict than regular applicants, but it doesn't mean that you can't reasonable estimate the chances of somebody at slim to none.

Worth the app fee for a 5% chance at it? Sure I guess so.

I thin you're pushing it with 5%

If a person that got in Michigan with 172-3.07 would of posted here you would of said the same thing to her/him, and look what happened-they got in.

No we wouldn't. I'd tell a 3.07/172 that they have a smaller but existent shot at Michigan. Especially if they were in a tough major. There is plenty of data to support ~3.1/170+ at michigan. None for <3.0.

Reality, it just hurts so good.

Sorry I got into a better school than you with a 2.8 gpa. I know what I'm fucking talking about.

lets move to private, I'll listen to you. I'll be your counselor-I majored in Psychology. Whatever we talk about will stay confidential?

I feel like I'm being hit on. You've got to buy me a few drinks before I'll consent to anything.

Deser Fox,

Now you must be certified idiot! I got in Michigan, and you got in Northwestern. Since when is Northwestern ranked higher than Michigan? Delusional?

will talk about that as well

In terms of big law placement it is, but I figured you only got into GULC since that is where you are going. GULC give you money or something?

I stated many times I got in Michigan, GULC, Cornell- to name a few. I didn't apply to schools such as UVA, Penn, NYU, etc. My Gpa was a litlle bit over 3.0 but under 3.1 with my fall grades.

what the f? these are peer schools. because one is ranked 9th and one is ranked 10th? sometimes 11th? gimme a break - who cares??? (however both are probably better bets than gtown)

What's wrong with GULC?

[bk1]

What's wrong with GULC?

Objectively poor placement when compared with most of the rest of the T14.

Are you the 3.07/172 we've been talking about?

If so only Cornell is surprising. Michigan takes ~3.1/170+ every year. Gulc that score is almost auto admit. Cornell though usually stays away from that low of GPA so good job getting in.

But my 2.8/176 got my flat out rejected at Cornell. And I went to a top public and majored in EE. OP is fairly close to me as an applicant. I know several people at NU who have below 3 and nobody got into Cornell.

OP should apply to all the lower t14, but he's probably only getting GULC PT and NU with W/E. There is always going to be some special exception for someone with amazing softs but it's probably not this guy.

You are arguing by one anecdote that's not very similar. I've shown people with really high LSATS not getting into schools you claimed he would.

Good is relative.

Without a decent chunk of money, Cornell/GULC just don't seem worth it compared to schools like MVP or NU. (Egregious Duke trolling.)

There are plenty who didn't get in, and there are plenty who did. Just because someone is a splitter doesn't mean that the individual will get in. Look what happened to Cornell this year, most applicants with great numbers got deffered, and some even rejected. I think you miss the point. You're arguing "it's impossible, and I'm arguing it's possible". All I'm saying it's possible, and it will come down to the personal application.

Read his post again. I think you are completely missing the point. All people are saying here is that it is so completely highly improbable. Is it possible that OP can raise his gpa to a 3.0? Yes. Is it probable? Hell no. It's OP's money, and if he wants to waste it that's his call.

It comes down to the personal application when you're working within specific margins. Everyone wants to be the exception to the rule (and there are exceptions) but the pragmatic approach is to be realistic.
