You're not the scrub. Anything above a 138 (cooley's 25th) for me would make me not retake.

You've given me LSAT advice so let's hope not, Michael.

Wot. Who dat

Sidenote: You got the cutest picture ever. HMU

I'm trying to guess my exact emotions for each score

163 or lower Depression
164-166 Disappointment
167-169 Neutrality
170-172 Happiness
173+ Elation
seems about right.

120-169 depression
170-171 disappointment
172-178 relief
179-180 someone made a mistake

Similar to yours:
120-171 retake
172-173 OK
174-177 relief
178-180 they got the wrong scantron, but I ain't complaining

120-169 : Retake

170: Agonize over a retake

171: On the fence over a retake

172: Probably able to talk myself out of a retake

173-174: On the money

175-177: Shit myself

178-180:

ditto for me, although 172 would be solid "no retake" land.

Some people like me are splitters everywhere. Below the 25th gpa for just about every law school in the country, and (hopefully) above the 75th lsat for just about every school in the country.

is it grey day yet

Not yet, but soon. Gray awaits

[Tape Dog]

I'm curious the type of ugpa we're talking about when we talk about splitters. My ugpa was a 3.67. I know that's closer to the 25th percentile for some of the t14- does that mean I'm technically a splitter?

I think whether one is a splitter or not can change from school to school. My GPA is below median at UVA, so if I score high enough on my LSAT I guess you could consider me a splitter there. On the other hand, I am above median at Duke and at the 75th for Cornell so I wouldn't be a splitter there (although I could be a reverse splitter if I bombed the LSAT...).

A reverse splitter is the least desirable and least valuable applicant type.

What's the adage? A reverse splitter is someone who didn't study hard enough for the LSAT?

I am in your camp as well. My C's and D's from my freshman year haunt me to this day.

Edit: upon further inspection, her name is actually spelt Gray. fml. I'm still calling it grey day

I'm just glad I no longer have to fight the urge to cancel my June score...

Actually the worst candidate is someone below both 25ths

[calmike]

can we get our scores already?

I want to see if I can get into Berkeley law with my low GPA lol

[saf18hornet]

120-165 = I guess I'll just go to Cooley with a small scholly
166-168 = Curse you RC
169-172 = September test, here I come
173-177= Sweet, figured out RC just in time!
178-180 =

+1

I was on and off debating it, even though I know that I probably couldn't bring myself to cancel my score. Glad the option is gone and I don't have to think about it anymore.

Rosemary olive vodka?



I'm,.. I'm not sure



Those are all things I like

Just woke up with one million regrets. Drunk me made Key Lime Pie, donated too much of my money to charity, and adopted a rabbit.

Oh oh oh! I have rabbits!

I imagine it 10000000% depends on your Undergrad school, too. A splitter from Princeton is much more acceptable than a splitter from Alabama. (I went to a top tier school that's notorious for grade deflation and my classmate got into UVA within a month of applying. I think she got her acceptance email 12 hours after her interview. GPA below 25th. LSAT above 75th.)

BERKELEY HAS A NEW DEAN AND THEY'RE RECOVERING FROM THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT THING. DON'T GIVE UP!

So when is everyone planning on sending in apps?

[heyduchess]

So when is everyone planning on sending in apps?

On my birthday (in September)

[LesPaul1995]

So when is everyone planning on sending in apps?

Early September, I figured why wait.

[QueenBAYder]

Is anyone still low-key studying in case of a September retake? I'm trying to decide what the best plan is for the next 3 weeks (clearly "do nothing and wait" isn't going well for me).

[mwells56]

So when is everyone planning on sending in apps?

As soon as I get my score I'm starting my personal statement and all other essays (got a couple of addenda to right, unfortunately). Already locked down my rec letters. Want to have everything done before I go back to school in August so I can submit day one for everything.

Generally, I noticed where I went to school that being over one median gave you leeway on the other, even for non-URMs, for top tier law schools.

As for apps, I'm hoping mid-late September if I don't need to take the September test. If I do, then I'll submit immediately after scores come in early October.
