Law School Predictor: The Thread"

[rundoxierun]

As far as the walls go.. have u noticed any indication of a stiff 3.7 line at any of HYSCC?? Im a little below a 3.7 right now and really stuck on whether to send in apps early or wait til after fall grades for a few schools.

Stiff is relative, but I'd say there's at least a semi-wall in the 3.7 to 3.8 range for most of HYSCC.

Hmm I thought you would say that.. I guess its about time to get working on that diversity statement.

Are the walls more noticeable in terms of GPA? I noticed little difference as I switched between possible LSAT scores as compared to 2.6. In fact in some ways this one seems more optimistic.

Maybe I'm just tired, but there seems to be a disconnect between the LSP readings and the LSN results for EDing at UVA... Where LSN suggests that 3.0+ and 170+ equals admit, LSP says something very different. Anyone able to explain why this is or if this is a mistake from an otherwise excellent tool? (Thanks YC!)

That's not a good strategy unless you truly can't afford app fees (in which case, many give fee waivers).

Good points, thanks for the website!

Do you know if there is a way to separate the schools by region?

Anyone know when the part-time predictor will be updated?

This may be a silly question... but where do the updated numbers come from?

Yup.

That's what I thought -- thanks!

I am still unable to get into version 3.0. It still says 2.6 and has the old USN&WR rankings. Is there some trick to getting into the newer version of law school predictor?

Remove your cached files and try.

[JLR]

Already tried that to no avail.

[JLR]

Got it now. Thanks.

That's not a good strategy unless you truly can't afford app fees (in which case, many give fee waivers).

Here was my suggested strategy (posted a few months back):
If you’re applying to five (5) schools, I recommend:
- One (1) Admit
- One (1) Strong Consider
- Two (2) Consider
- One (1) Weak Consider
- Zero (0) Deny

If you’re applying to ten (10) schools, I recommend:
- One (1) Admit
- Two (2) Strong Consider
- Three (3) Consider
- Three (3) Weak Consider
- One (1) Deny

If you’re applying to twenty (20) schools, I recommend:
- Three (3) Admit
- Five (5) Strong Consider
- Five (5) Consider
- Five (5) Weak Consider
- Two (2) Deny

And if you're a URM and/or extreme splitter, I'd be a bit more aggressive than what's suggested above.

YC, thanks again for all your hard work. Could you share your reasoning behind your strategy?

You rock, YCrevolution. Thanks for putting so much hard work into all of this.
