So we obviously won't know definitively until they publish the numbers after the cycle, but it looks to me like the reason they're bringing in the 169/3.6 folks is that they managed the medians well and are trying to bring in folks who will pay sticker (or close to it) and while increasing the 25% numbers.BigZuck wrote:Damn, I must have done something wrong on my application.

Have some tough decisions to make now
Did you write a LOCI or Why UVA or any of that fun stuff?
I wonder if 169 is the new median?
I looked at some cuts of the LSN data to try and get an idea of what the actual class looks like and it seems like it's right in line with last year's numbers, with no LSAT drop.
To create my class profile, I used profiles that listed acceptance (either accepted or waitlist, accepted) and removed profiles that listed withdrawal. I considered relying on only those who affirmatively designated "A" (for attending), but it turned out that this cut of the data did not match the actual class profile as well as the non-withdrawn acceptance cut did.
As you can see, the LSN data from last cycle closely matches the actual data, except it slightly overstates the 25th and 75th LSAT percentiles.2011-2012 Cycle wrote: GPA (25%/50%/75%) LSAT (25%/50%/75%)
LSN Data:
GPA (3.54/3.88/3.95) LSAT (166/170/172)
Actual UVA class (from website)
GPA (3.53/3.87/3.93) LSAT (164/170/171)
Now for this year:
It's worth noting, that the 170 median is strongly protected in this year's LSN data (currently, the 39th percentile is a 170 - the 39th percentile of last year's LSN data is also a 170...), so I don't think 169 is the new median.2012-2013 Cycle wrote: LSN Data
GPA (3.58/3.83/3.92) LSAT (168.5/170/173)
You gotta just hope that UVA accepts you before second deposit comes for your backup school because that's money down the drain..... 
I'm sorry, just trying to be helpful. Didn't know where else to go to target people who'll be getting off the waitlist.
