Yeah I'm not too concerned, although your softs are clearly better than mine (and your GPA is higher, my LSAC GPA is 3.3).

The savvy schools see the drop in apps coming and know they must lower their standards, lower their class sizes, or raise their scholarships if they want to even maintain their medians.

The only thing I think may go up is GPA requirements, because there are a lot of top schools all competing for less 170+LSATs than years past, so they will have to counter that with a whole lot of great GPAs. Doesn’t seem to be too big of a problem for WUSTL seeing as they have always been LSAT focused over GPA focused anyways, I think the magic 168 will apply this year as it has in recent years past (or so I keep telling myself every day an acceptance doesn’t arrive in my email).

I was thinking along these lines, and my crappy GPA is what concerns me. Of course, I still have the 170 LSAT, so I'm not in awful shape.

To echo scarlet, I wouldn't worry. I have a 2.8 and got in a few weeks ago.

^Article has a quick blurb about WashU at the end about how they check social media when considering admissions. As a group of young professionals I am sure everybody ITT has taken the appropriate steps in their online activity, but just in case you haven’t, now might be a good time to start.

That ticks me off.... Ironically enough there's someone with the EXACT SAME NAME / AGE as me from the same smaller town, and yes his facebook and such pops up when you Google my name. Also, yes its a page filled with wanting to kill mothereffers and "witches" / along with how he sells crack to keep it hood, etc...

I'd imagine the quick Google search of my name and discovering this disqualifies me? Hardly fair, and I'd imagine I'm not the only one in this situation

I mean...seriously. At least look at my application.

On LSN, the most recent acceptances are from late October/early Nov. complete dates, whereas last year they were into Dec. complete dates before Christmas, so I think they're just moving slower this year. We are definitely due for a big batch, I just hope that it comes sooner rather than later, and that WUSTL is not done for the holidays.
