Some hope for splitters - my cycle (2.7/168) Forum

[sunynp]

Isn't a 2.7 at Harvard undergrad like the bottom 5%? Seems law schools are getting mighty desperate these days.

Yep, I'm in no way proud of it, but I'm sure it's in the bottom 5%. Like I said above, the schools' desperation is a big benefit for splitters like me.

Geez dude, he went to Harvard and he was sick while he was there. I am sure admissions counted that in as well.

So the lesson for splitters is to ride the waitlists to the very end.

152/2.21, sort of a splitter I guess, waitlist then admitted at Indiana Bloomington and also admit at Case Western with $$, also URM

Which one of those numbers is high enough to qualify you as a splitter again? I'm looking at awful grades and a slightly less awful LSAT.

The fact that the gov't will give loans to someone with a 152/2.21 is fucking pathetic.

[TheZoid]

Haha yea I wonder how a private lender would asses jak's prospects for success.

[TheThriller]

I'm at IU for undergrad.

Potentially not. Case Western was fucking desperate and I mean desperate for students. I got a personal call from the Dean begging me to enroll.

Actually made me sad a little bit.

[Wily]

I got a voicemail from Dean Berman of GW ... AFTER I already deposited twice and indicated I was going, lol.

going to be applying for 2012-2013 cycle with a 2.79 / 170, 4 years WE, and hispanic (not mexican or puerto rican)

i have any shot of an ED at UCLA or Northwestern?

edit: also, would it be a good idea to retake in October? I was scoring about 175 on my practice tests, but don't know if applying earlier than October or a couple more points on the LSAT would make more of a difference.

I think your best bet at the moment would be to ED UVA. If you don't get it Ed gulc. If you retake a 172 plus would give you a much better shot at NU.

Honestly, I've seen and responded to your posts in other threads. Stop trolling On-Topic stuff. These people genuinely want to help. Not only are you not funny, your undermining the advice given here. Either go to the lounge or get off TLS.

I actually just saw an even funnier one. According to Jah', American U is on the same level ad HYS, NYU, and pepperdine. Ive been enlightened.

i don't think that's what i said, i was just pointing out of the fact that American University is a tier 1 school, the same tier as HYS, NYU and Pepperdine. Is it not a fact ? at least according to US News Rankings?

Go call some employers/recruiters and ask if they think American is in the same tier as Harvard and NYU. (Also, why the fuck did you include Pepperdine in there?)

Lol bro, get a grip. That characterization of American is a) irrelevant and b) misleading. We bash you because you're truly an awful poster.

Sorry to hear that Flan

I got lucky in the law school game in applying the year applications dropped.

Bro, with no offense intended, you're not a splitter. You need to get your LSAT up at least 10 more points to talk about being a high LSAT/ low GPA candidate.
