Anyone who applied with a 165, how's your cycle going? Forum

[Inonothin]

According to the most recent data that came out applicants with 165s are down 21% compared to this time last year. A lot of schools in the T30 have medians or 75ths @ 165.

I'm interested to hear if people who applied with this cycle are outperforming, doing as expected, or worse given there GPA and a 165 score.

Think schools with a 165 median/75th might be a little more forgiving on GPA so they can maintain these stats for this cycle?

Any thoughts or info is appreciated!

I think I'm over performing (I'm not sure to what degree).

I am a K-JD. I had average softs, a great personal statement, a 165, and a 3.9X.

I'm starting to get very worried. In at USC and Emory. Waitlisted at Georgetown, UCLA, Penn. Rejected at Berkeley. Interviewed in November with Wash U and still haven't gotten a decision. Pending at UVA, Vanderbilt, etc (my top 2 choices). At this point I don't think I'm getting in anywhere in the T14 and I think USC might be my top ranking school :/ Not that that's bad but I've seen a lot of people with similar numbers to me get into T14s. I submitted all my apps mid November.
