Maybe the person is trying to give as little information as possible to avoid how you normally treat people when they give actual numbers and school names?cavalier1138 wrote:I have no idea how you think anyone could begin to answer this question. Stop beating around the bush and give actual numbers and school names.
OP, at the end of the day, it really is hard to give you advice without more information. That being said I entirely understand not wanting to give out the details seeing how some treat those OP's. Feel free to PM me anytime!DKM wrote:There are two (maybe 3) schools in my area that I am considering.

School B: Below median LSAT by 2 points. Above 75% GPA
Let's not worry about school 3 right now.
I'm scheduled to take the December LSAT and confident that I can improve. I believe my score on my last attempt was more to do with lack of sleep the night before than the test itself.
What's the correct action here? Should I apply to both now before I retake? Apply to only one? What happens if I get denied and then get a much better score? Any input would be much appreciated.

I feel morally obligated to be a counter to the overly negative consensus on here that shames anyone in certain situations. Tbh you guy's have done a wonderful job of scaring off TT and TTT applicants away(compared to last year there's almost none) so I've mostly been silent but when OP's don't feel comfortable putting in their real stats and are trying to get advice without revealing their stats or prospective choices, you know we've got a problem.sparkytrainer wrote:Ferris you have no right to give advice to anyone.

Meant TLS OP's.

QU is clearly doing a bang-up job.Ferrisjso wrote:OP, at the end of the day, it really is hard to give you advice without more information.
At the end of the day I'm just trying to help the people you're not willing to, if it turns out to Michigan and UVA that's great for OP, why would I be upset by that! However, OP putting their stats into freaking code and saying they didn't like how they performed on the LSAT makes me think otherwise.cavalier1138 wrote:I'm hoping so hard that the OP comes back to tell Ferris that School 1 and 2 are Michigan and UVA.

Based on the numbers in the description, they could be Columbia and NYU - schools in the same area with a three point median LSAT gap with the lower median having a higher 75th GPA.cavalier1138 wrote:I'm hoping so hard that the OP comes back to tell Ferris that School 1 and 2 are Michigan and UVA.
1) You missed the point of the link. I'm trying to say that the reason you're not seeing TT choosing threads anymore is because 0L's are wising up the admissions process and are heeding the advice of TLS of retaking and not applying. If they're not applying - they don't need choosing threads. The drop is more noticeable on TLS bc if 0L's are on TLS to begin with, they're a subsection of the more motivated applicants and more likely to accept the conclusions of the "hivemind." There are certain exceptions of course.Ferrisjso wrote:Meant TLS OP's.

Well I don't want to do that necessarily, just want someone to be here to give them advice that isn't retake(which comes from people giving advice meant for people in the same situations). I'm still against stips, debt and poor debt prospects but you people don't care about that you're just made cause I didn't accept the whole retake mantra(though know it's much harder not to, seeing the changes, I would have actually retook again if I'd known).Dr.Degrees_Cr.Cash wrote:Y Tho?Ferrisjso wrote:I feel morally obligated to be a counter to the overly negative consensus on here that shames anyone in certain situations.

What's your moral imparative to convince people they should attend schools that won't set them up for success?

I am also eager for a fleshing out of that point.MarkinKansasCity wrote:Care to flesh this out a bit?Ferrisjso wrote:I'm still against stips, debt and poor debt prospects but you people don't care about that you're just made cause I didn't accept the whole retake mantra(though know it's much harder not to, seeing the changes, I would have actually retook again if I'd known).
