I'd rather be a splitter than a reverse splitter. Both in life and as a law school applicant.shifty_eyed wrote:You would think we could have ONE thread without reverse splitters fucking it up.

A reverse splitter is usually just someone who hasn't retaken. Read into that what you will.Dolphine wrote:I'd rather be a splitter than a reverse splitter. Both in life and as a law school applicant.shifty_eyed wrote:You would think we could have ONE thread without reverse splitters fucking it up.

You're not a "reverse splitter" until you've taken the LSAT three times. Before that, you're just somebody who isn't maximizing their opportunities.

I don't get reverse splitters. I still think about retaking.

I've never heard of anyone getting into UCLA with a GPA anywhere near that low. Are you a URM? Super softs?andy261 wrote:Final results for my fellow and future super splitters.

Not a URM. I really spent a long, long time on writing my addendum though to explain my GPA, which was due to personal issues. I would say above average recs and normal softs (work exp, volunteering, student clubs, study abroad, etc). On LSN there have only been two other sub-3ers over the past five years so I am very grateful to have this outcome.BitterSplitter wrote:If you're not a URM you're seriously one BAMF for pulling in UCLA with such a low sub3 gpa.. congrats on LA and the scholly.

Re: Splitter Results for 2012-2013 App Cycle
Guess it's my turn to let future splitters know how my cycle turned out. 168/3.28 here. 168 was on the 3rd take, previous two were 167 and 165; the multiple takes didn't seem to affect my cycle, nor did my late application (late January).

168/3.26. Wrote "Why" essays for each school accepting them and when given other prompts wrote those as well. Pretty strong WE in healthcare and PE. Good recs from former employers and a professor.

Re: Splitter Results for 2012-2013 App Cycle
Probably (95%) Vandy, but I'm putting some thought into Cornell this weekend. Not sure I can personally justify sticker, but it's an incredible school.francesfarmer wrote:Nice.

Re: Splitter Results for 2012-2013 App Cycle
Final update for me:
2.25/167
George Washington, Part-Time - WL, Admitted (28k)
Emory - WL, Admitted (60k)
Alabama - Admitted (78k)
Georgia - Admitted (9k)
William and Mary - WL, Withdrew
Georgia State, Part-Time - Admitted
I couldn't be any happier with this cycle, although, I applied to GW and Emory as my "reach schools", and now I'm thinking I should've reached a little higher, like Georgetown.

Congrats. Im guessing you'll be working part time at GW so you should be able to keep COL down. Good result for that GPA.ookoshi wrote:Final update for me:

Re: Splitter Results for 2012-2013 App Cycle
Thanks, but I'm actually going to Georgia State for financial reasons that have unexpectedly come up. I wish GW were in the cards for me, but recent events have taken all the other options off the table.ChampagnePapi wrote:Congrats.
