Guess it goes to show how sparse the data is on MyLsn because if Harvard has 50ish spots for AA yet only 8 people reported as accepted(some of whom didnt matriculate( maybe got Yale, Stanford, lower rank with money). We probably have no idea of the stats of like 80% of the matriculating class.

Somewhat. Of the 9, 6 had a 3.7+ and 3 of them got accepted with a 163, 160, 160. They might have crazy softs though so, idk. Im wondering if theres any benefit to being at or above one of harvards medians though or whether they evaluate AA's completely differently. The medians are 173 3.86 would, even the guy with the best numbers was slightly below both. So would a median lsat splitter like me be in a better spot than a 3.7 165, im leaning towards no but hopefully im wrong lol.

With a 165+ I'm submitting my app to H simply because of the small sample size

slightly better gpa slightly better LSAT+ work experience = rejection from H (no waitlist) for me a few years ago fwiw

AA male

doesn't mean it can't happen though
