Re: BC Law 2010
They've received everything from me but one LOR that I am waiting on LSAC (GRRRR!!!) to post and send.
BC is a far reach for me GPA-wise (3.23), but my LSAT is very competitive (164).
I'm hoping the 5 years out of school and WE will be enough of a GPA boost, as BC is pretty much tops for me!

Still nothing?
Does anyone know when the first decisions were released last year?

Re: BC Law 2010
Since BC has decided to ding so many 164s last cycle I can't justify paying $87 to apply when BU waived my fee and they are way more friendly to 164/3.8x applicants.

Re: BC Law 2010
BC does early action first, then regular... they send out EA decisions ON Dec. 15th, not BY Dec. 15th, so I think there is little to no chance of hearing before then.pikalove wrote:Still nothing?

Re: BC Law 2010
status just changed to decision pending. Crazy similar stats to above posters 163/3.65, non-trad (blind, hoping that helps a bit too)

Re: BC Law 2010
They send all of their EA decisions out on December 15th, none before. I don't know if this reduces or increases the waiting anxiety.

Re: BC Law 2010
I love BC, but I think 164s are going to have a tough cycle there. I think it could be the same at BU -- since BC dinged a bunch of 164s last year and bumped its median, won't BU try to follow suit?
Hoping that Dec. retake turns out better...

I don't know what medians you are looking at, but here on the TLS rankings it shows the 25th & 75th as:scribelaw wrote:I think it could be the same at BU -- since BC dinged a bunch of 164s last year and bumped its median, won't BU try to follow suit?

The stats that you've posted are clearly more valuable than the tiny sample that LSN provides.scribelaw wrote:BC's median is up to 166 and almost every 164 on LSN last cycle got dinged....superflush wrote:I don't know what medians you are looking at, but here on the TLS rankings it shows the 25th & 75th as:scribelaw wrote:I think it could be the same at BU -- since BC dinged a bunch of 164s last year and bumped its median, won't BU try to follow suit?

Many 164s on LSN may have been dinged, but according to the stats, 25% of the 2009 entering class scored a 163 or lower (and surely they're not all URMs or Pulitzer Prize winners).
If you have a 163 or a 164 and a GPA at or above the 75th%, I don't see any reason to feel particularly pessimistic.

Re: BC Law 2010
Anyone know if they are super-particular about GPA, or are they a school where it becomes less important the further out from undergrad you are?

Re: BC Law 2010
Well, based on LSN, it looks to me like they'll take sub-3.3, with an LSAT 167+.kalvano wrote:Anyone know if they are super-particular about GPA, or are they a school where it becomes less important the further out from undergrad you are?
Of course as someone pointed out, LSN is a small sample.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
