Can someone help explain this cycle?

Post by mt2165 » Fri Mar 25, 2022 6:29 pm

Feels wild posting here after so long. I am wondering what could be going on with my sister's cycle (AA). She has, just in case she's on here, a 3.2-3.4 GPA, a 163-165 LSAT, and a relatively strong background (think Peace Corp/TFA) and has received zero T14 or even T20 admits. When I was applying some 8 years ago or whatever, that would have been borderline a lock for at least *1* lower T14 admission and very good money from T20s. Is that how rough it is out here or could there be something else going on? I know apps are up but yeesh. TYIA.

Neither that GPA nor LSAT are comfortably in the 25th-75th percentile for any school in the T20 for the latest entering class: https://7sage.com/top-law-school-admissions/. So those results are actually somewhat expected :(
