Just checking in. I've stalked TLS forums forever, but never posted. I prefer not to list my numbers, but I can assure you I'm an extreme reverse splitter. Non-URM. In at Tulane, W&L, George Mason, and Chicago-Kent. Applied ED at GW but was WL'd. Still have a couple to hear back from, but I'd ideally like to end up in the DC or NOVA area.

[LuckyinLaw?]

167/3.97 .... but also applied late in the cycle, so I'm still playing the waiting game for most schools. Also, congrats to all my fellow reverse splitters who have been hearing good news from great schools!

[FloridaCoastalorbust]

Retook LSAT. No longer reverse splitter. Doesn't matter as I'm in UVA with the first score anyway. Best of luck frendz!

Checking in:

3.9 UGPA; 3.83 LSDAS
156 LSAT (Retaking in Feb)

I've read that traditional splitters are more numerous than reverse splitters. I find that perplexing, since GPA seems much easier to influence than LSAT scores. Not many aspiring law school candidates have a knack for logic games, but almost any candidate can crank out A's if they put in the effort.

Or am I wrong?

I think in reality reverse splitters are more common than traditional splitters, although that may not seem to be the case in top law schools, since a minimum LSAT is almost required to get into the T14.

You all know I'm a reverse splitter. 155/4.0. For my target school I'm at like the 99th percentile for GPA but around the 20th percentile for LSAT. I'm hoping for admission but, having applied in January I'm super late. Hey, that's what you get with a December LSAT, right?

Big time reverse splitter non-URM 160, 3.89. So far I got accepted into: UVA, NU, Minnesotta $, Iowa $, Wake Forest $, Arizona $ and withdrew from my bunch of other schools. I applied early and widely.

That's really fantastic. Any special softs?

[armstrot]

Yeah, I think my softs were very "special":) or unique. I am a non-traditional student with interesting life and work experience. Also, I let couple of lawyer friends of mine proofread my PS and they thought it was great:) I tried tailoring my PS for each school when possible. Overall, I felt really good about my application except my LSAT score. If I had the TIME and money I would have loved to improve my score because it really is the biggest deciding factor. However, I am glad that these schools were able to see beyond my pitiful LSAT score. Interestingly, Berkeley has been my only rejection.

Well big congrats! I am a terrible reverse splitter- 155/4.XX- but I guess my life story is not all that interesting. I am an immigrant and a first generation college student with decent work experience in UG but I guess that is not very unique for a NYC person.lol. Where do you think you will be heading?

Those are great numbers. You're headed the same place I am. So there's no need to worry.

3.95/167 here, though I just retook....

Hopefully the 7 and 6 switch places. Nice avatar by the way.

Update 3.8x/162

[brokenconundrum]

Update:

3.78/155/Kinda URM

Out: Boalt, NYU (applied for shits and giggles)
In: American, USD ($), Loyola LA ($$) and selected as one of their Public Interest Scholars.

Still waiting on: Hastings, USC, UCLA (again, shits and giggles). Think I'm leaning heavily toward LLS.

Hope everyone else's cycles are going well! I'll probably withdraw from USD and American soon so hopefully that frees up a spot for those on the WL.

[btowncane]

Can't complain so far.

In: George Mason, Villanova, Syracuse, St. John's, Hofstra ($), Marquette, Miami and Suffolk
Out: UConn
Waitlisted: W&L, Seton Hall and Catholic (Withdrew)
Waiting: LSU, Maryland, Tenn, Oregon, Wisconsin, MSU, South Carolina, Richmond and Northeastern.

Good luck with the rest of your cycles!

[the_dude83]

how do w/l treat reverse splitters typically?
I am a reverse splitter with a much lower lsat, but I am not looking for T14 by any means!

This...I guess I'm a tad naïve.
