Generally, no, barring URM status. Schools aren't looking to lower their numbers for USNWR, so they don't like taking people with GPA and LSAT both below 50%. Folks who get in with a 25% GPA generally have a LSAT well above the 50%, optimally at or above the school's 75%. Ditto for "reverse splitters" with a high GPA/low LSAT.
