Can you link me to the 3.4/178 who got rejected? I've been able to find the profiles of all the other outliers but I can't seem to find that one.

Thanks.

Don't really understand how a 3.4 178 got rejected but someone with the same GPA but a much lower LSAT score got admitted.
Just speculation, but I assume its because jaggededge was fresh out of school, by the looks of his profile. It also doesn't say what sort of URM he is, which has an impact. Cryingmonkey (3.3/179) on the other hand, was 3-4 years out of school and likely AA. Some of the other outliers who got rejected with super-high LSATs are trolls.

Congrats to everyone in this thread. I've read a couple of the pages and you guys are going to be fine. Hopefully some of the people considering Chicago give it a real look. I'd be happy to answer questions about the school.

Also, you guys should ALL consider applying to SEO, which is really unparalleled and would set you up better than just about anything else you can do in your 1L summer. Give it some thought and realize you have pretty much done all of the hard work at this point. Time to reap the benefits! Congrats!

Just to make sure I'm reading this correctly... Is the SEO program for the summer before school starts or for the 1L summer?

Thanks,
