T20 Schools Where Your GPA Counts In Admissions

Post by MAPP » Thu Feb 04, 2016 1:08 pm

There seems to be a lot of info on TLS for splitters, so I thought I'd make a little something for the reverse-splitters out there. The following T20 schools, according to mylsn, will admit students who have LSAT scores significantly below the school's median if you have a strong GPA (i.e. around 3.9). The other T20 schools maintain a pretty strict LSAT score requirement, no matter your GPA. Comment if you think any schools should be added or subtracted from what I have below.

Where's Berkeley? I mean they're T10 and have a 163 25th LSAT, so they obviously are not very picky about it.

I got rejected with a 3.3/169 two years out of school, so I'm guessing they are somewhere in the GPA leaning crowd.

Berkeley is a black box. I was outright rejected w/ 3.9 and 169. Their medians mean close to nothing.

Or there was something wrong or something they didn't like with your application/profile
