Re: UCLA LAw
I think you're a tad pessimistic, ATL. 3.4 is likely on the cusp of possibility at GPA-centric schools like Boalt/UCLA/UT/etc even without softs. I would say that an LSAT above median makes it possible though still likely a waitlist.

I think an out of the park LSAT could do it, mid 170's or better.acrossthelake wrote:This is true. I should add that I think the most likely result is waitlist. (which, in my eyes, is almost the same as a rejection since most WL become rejections in the end). A very high LSAT would be a necessity for a shot, but wouldn't really save it, imo. There would have to be more.bk187 wrote:I think you're a tad pessimistic, ATL. 3.4 is likely on the cusp of possibility at GPA-centric schools like Boalt/UCLA/UT/etc even without softs.

Re: UCLA LAw
UCLA likes GPAs. If it was 3.5 I'd say you have a good chance with a 167. With a 3.4 I think you need 169/170.
3.4: Even with a 171+, that seems like WL country.
3.5/170+ seems like there's a chance.

Re: UCLA LAw
It's weird that there are several splitter-friendly T14 (UVA ED, NW ED, GULC PT ED) but no splitter schools ranked 15-18. Not until you hit WUSTL and the midwest schools. And Emory.bk187 wrote:Severely. Looks like sub-3.4's are fucked.Hannibal wrote:UT is splitter unfriendly? Boo.

Re: UCLA LAw
I applied to UCLA January of last cycle with 3.38/174 and was waitlisted. I re-applied September 1st this cycle early decision. UCLA does not like low GPAs but hopefully ED will help me out. Apply as early as possible.

Re: UCLA LAw
I'm just curious what you did after you were on the WL since you said it was your top choice.adamdroog wrote:I applied to UCLA January of last cycle with 3.38/174 and was waitlisted.

Did you update anything in your file/send LOCI/visit etc?
Had you applied to USC as well? If so were you accepted?

Re: UCLA LAw
While on the waitlist I visited the school and made it clear that UCLA was my top choice through a few e-mails. I did apply to USC and was rejected. I also applied to Loyola LA and NYU. Accepted with no money at Loyola and waitlisted at NYU. I have learned that being a splitter means unexpected results, especially applying as late as I did.JJDancer wrote:I'm just curious what you did after you were on the WL since you said it was your top choice.adamdroog wrote:I applied to UCLA January of last cycle with 3.38/174 and was waitlisted.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

Re: UCLA LAw
To the original poster:
Seems like they waitlist basically everyone below 3.6 regardless of LSAT. Hard to say whether this is a yield protect move or simply a GPA thing. I think if you are SET on ucla you need to get mid 170's and ED. You have an OK shot with better schools with a mid 170's/3.4 gpa either way though, especially with work experience (Virginia or NW), so my bet is that UCLA is just yield protecting at that point. Hard to tell though.
