I'm a big splitter (3.3/174) and I'm going to Columbia in the fall with a sizable scholarship

Have hope.
Even wider on the splitter spectrum (2.8/174) and I ended up with a little different cycle just to show the other end of the spectrum. Waitlisted at four schools in the T-14, in at Georgetown, in at Texas and Vandy with $$, in at WashU, Bama, and Iowa with $$$. Between me and Ben, that's pretty much the full range of what can happen if you're a splitter and you play your cards right.
That's really good to know. Northwestern is my number one choice unless I absolutely crushed the LSAT. They do seem pretty friendly to splitters and people with work experience so I'm pretty hopefull. I will apply to most of the T14 though

Also was a splitter this past cycle and my best advice is to apply everywhere and be prepared for an unpreictabke cycle. Get your apps in as early as possible and write the extra essays for everywhere. But like benwyatt and birdlaw both said, good things can definitely happen for splitters so definitely be hopeful!

I don't really think this qualifies as a humblebrag. He was just giving his situation as an example of possible outcomes.

So one of the new interns that I met is starting his LSAT prep. I was talking to him about it and just answering any general questions he had about the test itself and how I prepped. He asked if I could show him the basics of a sequencing game if he brought one in sometime next week during the lunch break. I said sure (because I'm a nice person OF COURSE). I don't want to look at anything LSAT related unless I need to retake, but HEY it's for a good cause right..?..?

It'll be good for your god complex when you blast through the sequencing game and he looks at you in awe, baffled by your skill at placing T before V

Does everyone go gray THE MORNING of gray day? I know scores are sent out in waves and that you can get yours early or later. But does everyone go gray that morning or?

I don't know about early morning but I think around mid-morning/afternoon to go grey generally.

Though, to add to the collective anxiety, I believe grey could/has happen(ed) as late as like 4 or 5. So it could be grey day but we wouldn't know it until the late afternoon.

does everyone go gray at the same time? yes
does it have to be at like 9am? no... gray day can start whenever really, could be walking into work, or just finishing lunch, its part of the mystery

There is no predictability as far as timing is concerned.

It's time to post here since this waiting has gotten bad.

Last night I dreamed that I got my score, but they'd re-adjusted the scale and now the top score is 575. Oh, and I'd done dreadfully (only in the 370s), and I spent so long trying to convert back to the old scale, but then realized that LSAC had switched my answer sheet with someone else's and they'd lost mine.

I need to it be Monday soon.

I usually check once in the afternoon, just to be sure. I'm just sure I'll see it on here/reddit soon after it happens not to worry about going to LSAC and refreshing every 5 minutes.

Someone is free to be put on that duty if they want to, though!

OMG haiiiiiiiiiiiii kitty! Your avatar is cute.

I have had oddly few LSAT dreams. I do still have naked SAT dreams regardless. And way worse nightmares. But no LSAT dream in which I get a score.

Required questions:

Cake or pie

Tacos or Burgers

Optional:
Drink of choice

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
