I guess that's what happens when there are 2618 universities. Still think it's silly that someone could pick to go to their state school because they can't afford the crazy out of state or private school tuition, and be at a disadvantage because of it.

I agree, although there are many states with at least 1 good/great public school.
Also, numbers are still numbers, and numbers rule this process.

You're not getting disadvantaged because of it - You're just not getting the advantage a very select few do. The same goes for uber-prestigious internships or something. Soft factors favor the wealthy and the privileged.

Sounds like a great way for the select few to stay the select few, eh?

I agree with what you're saying. But I mean, it's a soft factor that would only matter at the margins (a 3.9, 177, TTT UG application will beat out a 3.6, 170, HYP applicant any day) and the vast majority of applicants won't be HYP.

I know, I'm mostly just arguing for the sake of arguing. I'd just hope that UG institution would be one of the last things that they look at when numbers are the same, and I'm sure it is.

I assume this is true, although UG can have an impact on things like WE, research/publications, etc.

It will be. And, I really think the UG prestige boost only matters at the extreme end (ie. at the level of HYP) - If it exists, it wouldn't matter or come into play at all for the vast majority of applicants.

I agree, but now I can't put off doing my assignment to post in this thread now.

Seriously thinking about getting a new gym for the summer.
also why can't ppl leave poor Alex alone.

[littlelibertine]

I am upset about this change not coming a year sooner now that I am already deposited and signing a lease. Retaking in June would have been killer for me

Where are you headed?

Duke, my favorite school out of where I applied this cycle

Welcome to North Carolina. I'm about forty minutes from you.

Thanks! I think I'm going to enjoy it, and actually plan on staying in the state after graduating!

I have these fantasies about my reaction to getting accepted to NYU/Columbia but I don't want to jinx myself when my score is not where it needs to be.

considering i'm a splitter.

Splitters do well at CLS.. SLS is a different story :/

May these next four page numbers be all of your LSAT scores.

need 1 more to delay a retake.

Not you, son. Your score will be precisely four pages after this.

Real talk tho, you'd retake a 176?

is it bad if I say I would heavily think about it?

No, there is zero downside to retaking. I'd never tell someone not to use as many takes as they can afford

same. although, how low does your UG GPA have to be to be considered a split? I had a 3.55 -- could've had a 3.8ish but got sick and fucked off my last semester. :/

below 25th percentile above 75 percentile. This thread has a lot of splitters and no one should apply to Stanford but me, k? k.

My GPA is actually really good for my major, too bad it's TTT in Lawl world

So... Alex should retake?

Any idea how splitters do at NYU? Is there any data on these stats on tls?

Splitters are hard to predict but LSN and LSP are decent predictors.

LSP is where operation false hope starts because it says Stanford and Harvard are my "Goal Schools" with a 177+ Lmao no

There are a few super splitters on here (2.9/177, 3.1/161) who've gotten into NYU and Columbia with money. So I'm praying for a miracle.

I need to elevate my test prep.

URM?
I picked up the Blueprint LG the other day because it was payday and why not. It is pretty easy to read akin to the Trainer, might be able to finish it this weekend.

3.1/161 was URM, 2.9/177 was not.

Is LG your biggest hurdle?

I might want to get a 180 just to be safe

damn, sub 3 is rare with money. STANNY HOPE PLEASE.

not really, but the weird games trip me up something fierce. Figured I can alleviate it with lots of books. RC is my most inconsistent section by far.

I want a 180 so bad, I read NoodleOne, PP. and other 180 guides on a consistent basis.

[dj9i27]

seriously tho only 100 people apply to SLS so I have a chance .

Same. RC is annoying for me mostly because of time. If it was 2 singles and 2 comparative life would be so much easier and my skin would be clear.

How long have you been studying?
