Any splitters out there?
What were your GPA/LSAT? Did you get into one of your top choices? What do you think made the difference in your cycle? If you could re-do this cycle over (still same GPA/LSAT) what would you do different?

Splitters, like the much fabled unicorn, don't exist, primarily because they may only be handled by maidens, who also don't exist in this day and age.

The LSAT will determine whether I'm a splitter or a shitter.

Same here. Although people keep telling me my 3.44 puts me in a better position for Top14 than I think.Dr. Strangelove wrote:The LSAT will determine whether I'm a splitter or a shitter.

Re: Any splitters out there?
I split 175, 2.98. I got into some good t15 - 30 schools with scholarship money. I've been waitlisted from 7 schools, including a few T14s. I am still waiting to hear fom NYU and Cornell. (seriously, wtf? I applied 6 months ago).
I can't say I am thrilled with my cycle but I am satisfied. As of right now I'll be going to UCLA with tuition covered by GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon scholarships. Who knows though, if the waitlists pan out I could be at another school.
The thing that made the difference in my cycle was retaking the LSAT to go from 170 -> 175. The only thing I would have done differently is I would have applied the first day that applications were available. For the life of me, I don't know what I waited until November for.

LOL every time I see this thread title I want to come over here and say, "no, there are no splitters anywhere."

Re: Any splitters out there?
There's about to be one less splitter "out there". I may have been dinged at Cornell, but I don't have to be admitted to go jump into a gorge.

No, "splitter" is a myth created by the government to keep you out of NU.

Re: Any splitters out there?
With a 3.44 you'll be fine with the right LSAT. So far I've gotten into Penn and Georgetown with a 3.43/171. I think you should definitely make all other experience you have stand out so they look past the GPA a little.

Re: Any splitters out there?
You really think a 3.44 is okay? I am somewhere in that same boat after this semester. My grades will have dropped significantly (I have what they think is cancer) and my grades will have gone down from where they were. I am consciously aware a good LSAT is needed with a 3.4 something; any tried and true methods you recommend?blue5385 wrote:

Re: Any splitters out there?
That's all comforting. I thought I was doomed. I think my LSAC GPA will be a tick higher because I have some precollege (but college level) classes that I'm planning to submit to LSAC that I got A's on, so more like 3.46 or so, but I presume that wouldn't make any difference anyway.

Re: Any splitters out there?
Honestly, a 3.44 with a high-enough LSAT has a chance at any T14 except Harvard/Yale/Stanford/Berkeley.. the higher the LSAT.. the better the chances.
It sounds like applying early helps a lot..
It's just that your chances are probably less than 50% at places like Columbia/Chicago/Duke..which seem to have somewhat strict GPA cutoffs.
