That's not too bad. I thought they would do a lot worse given 20% app decline.

As a semi-splitter, these GPA increases disturb me.

I'm in the same position, so what is everyone's opinion? Is this a friendly environment for splitters, or bad?

That's why I'm eager to see all these blank 25/75 LSAT stats get filled in, in addition to more medians. Something has got to give.

Still down from 162/3.59 two years ago.

just came here to congratulate C/O 2017 for retaking 172 median while raising gpa median and class size by 30 from our embarrassing one year blip. go lions #winningatstupidshit

Considering these are reflections of last cycle, and considering I applied last cycle as a splitter I'd say don't be concerned. I did pretty well despite it.

so say lsat medians are dropping everywhere, and at the very least will schools atleast try to get good gpa applicants (like above median- 75th)? ideally schools will like students above median for both lsat and gpa right, but do u think nowdays schools strategy is to get atleast students who can give above median for atleast one lsat or gpa.

I'm curious is splitters over 75th LSAT and at or below 25th GPA can expect to see $$?

Depends on the school.

Places I saw good money with this general trend, after negotiations were finished. These places were 1/2 tuition or better:

IU Maurer
W&L
Baylor
UMN
UIUC
Emory
WUSTL

...yikes that 25th GPA shot up.

Still need George Washington, Georgetown and Emory. The 3 schools most likely that might drop, so far only WUSTL/Vandy dropped their median GPA in the top 20 but everyone held LSAT.

Nothing about Texas yet, and probably won't be for awhile.

Wow. What the hell? They plummeted in the rankings and somehow still managed to maintain their medians as well as increase their class size? Now that makes no sense, at all.
