Just got Notre Dame's Class Profile from my school's Law School Fair. It's not pretty.

Median GPA: 3.60
Median LSAT: 163
LSAT Range: 160-165
class size: 163

Holy. Is this confirmed ??

Seems to be. Makes me feel damn good knowing even if I didn't improve much on my Oct retake, I can still be accepted to some great schools, hopefully with a little scholly money. Just waiting on WashU... their loss will be my gain XD

It's pretty crazy out there. Blood everywhere.

As the numbers roll in, I'm more and more impressed with the way GW zigged while everyone else zagged. They grabbed every high-GPA mufu they could find and threw money at them. The result was

(a) a huge GPA boost, and
(b) a huge class, which means more revenue assuming the extra students got anything less than a free ride.

You have to hand it to their Admissions people. They're always running some sort of game and it usually works.

ETA: Of course they took a 2-point LSAT hit, but that headline gets buried since so many others schools took the same or a similar hit.

It would be pretty extraordinary if these numbers get confirmed. Given that most schools took a 1-3 point LSAT hit while barely holding steady on the other metrics, it's really impressive to only give up 2 LSAT points and still grow class size and get a big GPA jump. But it sounds like we should reserve judgment a little longer because the whole thing may be too good to be true.

If this is all true i don't think this is something to be lauded. Sure GW saw a GPA boost but they enrolled a larger class when there are not jobs to justify that increase. On top of that they blatantly stated that it was about money. Kudos to them for their honesty but maybe they should cut down on costs by getting more of their graduates jobs instead of having to support them in unemployment.

I think this is understood by everyone giving them praise. They're all coming from the perspective of the admissions comittee's goals, which are to increase/maintain revenue while not losing out too much in the rankings. They did a good jerb

Those are averages, not medians. It looks like they took a good number of very high gpa/very low lsat applicants and those LSAT outliers could have dragged down the mean. It's still possible that they maintained a 167 or dropped only to a 166.

I don't know that I trust their school newspaper to make that distinction. I bet they're referring to medians.

I was just going by what's on the spreadsheet. So you guys are questioning whether it's true? Good point, I guess. GW's website is silent, and I don't think we can rely on the school paper ...

UChi's 25th LSAT is a 166. Looks like we know where they fall on the LSAT v. GPA side of things.

It's tough out there for a splitter.

are splitters essentially fucked? every school besides Columbia and NYU is going to be splitter-unfriendly because they can take 169s instead of 170s to maintain their medians.

You're not fucked if you can go to CLS or NYU.
