December retake, applying THIS cycle Forum

[silverlake33]

I was just advised by an old professor (he wrote an LOR for me and teaches at a T14 law school) not to retake- saying there is little to gain for the risk. Well, his advice came after I already made up my mind and signed up

Good luck to everyone else in the same boat. I will be joining the not-so-desirable pool of (hopefully) 170+/3.5 splitters submitting in January.

yea, nobody wants to be in that 170+/3.5 "splitter" club

If you get a 170+ and have a 3.5 you are not a splitter. HTH.

3.5x is below median of close to half of the top 50 schools... I didn't mean to put down anyone else, since coming to this forum I guess my GPA seems low in comparison so it's all relative.
