Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
A splitter is someone who generally has a low GPA, below the 25th percentile or in the "twos," and a high LSAT score, usually above the 75th percentile (if I'm correct) or vice versa. It usually has to do with a high LSAT score though. A URM is an under-represented minority.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
I'm in at Stetson!
Should give hope to those with low GPA and LSAT -- you really don't know until you try!
154,3.03, not a URM.

That is awesome!! Congratulations! Were you on the waitlist? Did you have crazy softs? It gives me hope as I am sub-3 GPA and 156 LSAT.

No waitlist, just accepted me straight out. I even applied late too (March 1st). I do have some pretty strong softs but nothing too crazy. I think the year of work after college helped but thats just a speculation.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
Like I said, I'm sunk with a 146. I'm just waiting to get the official rejection and get accepted somewhere else so I can officially register for the June LSAT. If I raised my score nine points, I can surely raise it to a 152/153 in June. Petition will only work, though, if Stetson still has seats. I might be better off waiting a year after that than going to a shithole Tier 4. Dunno.

I applied right after you - still just waiting on my status checker. It sounds like you had a fast turn around time, though!! Here's hoping that continues!!
ETA - Do you mind if I ask when you went complete?

Still no scholarship money. I feel like Stetson doesn't know that I'm serious about attending and I don't know how to make it clear.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
I went complete last week, so I'm assuming I am waiting a bit longer. My stats are similar to yours though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (I applied PT).lsatdalek wrote:& to "lawbound11"hetherlys wrote:

My fiancee wants me to go to Stetson. She wants to go to USF and get an MBA where she can get cheap instate, plus start a business down there. She likes the beach.CanadianWolf wrote:Would you really attend Stetson over Colorado & Denver ?
She says her skin is too sensitive for the dry mountain air.
I do whatever she says pretty much.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
I got dinged with a 146/3.37. Word of advice- not that it applies to any of you, don't apply to Stetson with less than a 153 LSAT. Complete fucking waste of time. They are uber competitive this year. I have to take the June LSAT and petition, but they definitely want 153's at a minimum.

The 25% for PT is 152. I think having at least a 153 is close to the floor at Stetson and not necessary a reflection of an "uber competitive" year.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
I submitted my app three weeks ago, and it went to review status last Tuesday. And, yes, I think evidence does support a particularly competitive admissions process at Stetson this year, at least according to Blackstone, Law School Numbers, and TLS stats. That wouldn't help me with a 146 anyway; I'm not going to bitch about it. I'm going to take my lumps and think about how best to approach the situation from here.

Re: Stetson 2011 Applicants
I'm not going to be one of these people who wallows in defeat. I did not secure the necessary LSAT score; I can cry about it and nothing will happen in my favor, or I can grow some hootspah, study my ass off for the June LSAT, and try to pull a backdoor summer miracle.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
