LSN vs predictors
Im a spiltter, when i put in my stats in several law school predictors it says i have virtually no chance at schools that when looking at LSN i get the impression id be an auto admit, do these predictors not work well with spiltters or am i really screwed?

Don't rely on predictors; LawSchoolNumbers is much more useful.

Re: LSN vs predictors
I've found the graphs on LSN to be particularly useful. If you see a bunch of green dots in your area, you're probably in. Distinct separations of green and red/yellow indicate a GPA or LSAT cutoff.
As a splitter myself, I don't trust the Predictor. For example, if you enter 2.8/168 in to LSP, you are an auto-deny at WUSTL. LSN clearly indicates that (nearly) everyone 168< was accepted, regardless of GPA.

Re: LSN vs predictors
LSN is more useful because it can be more specifically tailored to someone's inquiry. But netiehr should be viewed as definitive.

Re: LSN vs predictors
predictors cant handle splitters.
Im a splitter (without even really good numbers), and LSP gave me denies at places I got in with money, and places I was considered at I got like 75% tuition.

Re: LSN vs predictors
Shameless plug time! I made a guide for splitters in the TLS Content Competition forum. It may be helpful to all you splitters.

Again, not that extreme

Re: LSN vs predictors
Just a terminology note: Splitter almost always refers to High LSAT and Low GPA; a High GPA and Low LSAT applicant is a reverse splitter.Klinklang wrote:O rly? High GPA/low LSAT or vice versa, if I may ask?

Re: LSN vs predictors
Predictor may be a good eyeball device, but its not perfect. For example, the new LSP gave me a Consider at NYU, but at LSN, almost everyone with my numbers got in.
Though, the data source my matter. If LSN, which is self-reported, discourages people from putting in when they get rejected, it may be biased. If the predictors have access to all the data, that could be a positive.

Re: LSN vs predictors
Predictors are better to figure out what range of schools you should apply to, LSN gives you a better idea of where you specifically will have shots, and generally gives you a good idea of where youll get in.
