At most schools, at/above both medians usually does the trick.

Any predictive guideline(s) along the same lines for splitters (e.g., scores at least at the 85th and 25th percentiles usually get admitted)? I'm also assuming an LSAT above the 75th counts for more than a GPA above the 75th. Or is there no similar guideline for splitters, which is why they're/we're encouraged to apply broadly?

For splitters check for "splitter friendly" schools and make sure your gpa isn't below their floor. Basically just lsn your numbers and see how the cycle normally shakes out.

Above both 75th - in with scholarship money
At both medians - in
At both 25th - maybe
below both 25th - reject

Splitters are more unpredictable. Some schools are very splitter friendly, while at other schools it's more of a problem. Either way, you're probably out of the running for their top scholarships. Do some research on this board to find out how schools view splitters

Yeah, exactly. Guidelines vary depending on the school.

If you havent seen this, it is a great resource for splitters,

Many of those floors are likely a bit lower now, with the drop in apps and all.
