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?Nova wrote:At most schools, at/above both medians usually does the trick.
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.Suralin wrote:Any predictive guideline(s) along the same lines for splitters (e.g., scores at least at the 85th and 25th percentiles usually get admitted)?
