laqueredup and Tazewell, has your school list changed because of it?

[Instrumental]

anyone else not quite get the score they wanted but applying anyway?

Yeah. I got a 169. Was hoping for a 170+. 1 point isn't going to deter me and 96th percentile is great as far as I'm concerned. Hoping my other application credentials can help carry me.

169 is killer! Nice job!! I'm struggling cause I have a lower GPA, but I am already taking a year off from UG and have major that is very difficult to get a job without further education, so taking another year off is really really not something I want to do

Belated af but huge congratulations to all of you!! Y'all fucking killed it, and don't be hard on yourself if you didn't get the score you wanted.
Hope you're having some well-deserved glasses (jugs) of your celebration beverage of choice.

I drink holy water that was placed on this planet specifically for me.

Good.

I was going to give you some, but sir with that attitude all of this holy water is mine lol. are you in America's hat right now or back stateside for break?

I have returned to the god-forsaken frozen hellhole to recommence my post-secondary education.

Definitely understandable. Best of luck.

1. Moose are dicks

1. You're just jealous
2. Yeah but everyone is too nice to use them

[Tazewell]

laqueredup and Tazewell, has your school list changed because of it?

No, but only because I hit 75th for the only 3 schools I can actually see myself attending. I applied to Michigan, UVA, Northwestern, plus a few just below them but can only see myself attending Vandy, Texas, or SMU because I want to minimize debt and practice in Texas. So I'm not too disappointed because I still set myself up well to get into those 3, but I would have loved to be 75th LSAT for the t14 for negotiation purposes.

2. Yeah but everyone is too nice to use them

Are the majority (maybe all?) of Canadians actually nice?

Srs, moose are fucking scary those goddamn calls in the middle of the night make me think the fucking Predator is coming for me.

And you can't be too mean to paper, so it is a conversational piece over the fireplace.

Sounds like me. I was hoping higher for T14, but I can't afford T14 full price, so it would've helped for the $$$ for my other schools. Good luck this cycle!!

I'm just over Texas and Vandy's 25th GPA so I'll need the luck! Thank you, and I'll be rooting for you this cycle!

laqueredup and Tazewell, has your school list changed because of it?

Nope, I'm a very extreme splitter 10 years out of undergrad with some unique softs, so I knew my cycle would be unpredictable even with a 180.
I applied everywhere that I thought I might be interested in attending regardless of what LSN said my chances were based on my numbers.
It called 5% chance for a school I've already been accepted to, so I still have no idea how the rest of my cycle will go.

That said, if you don't get into the schools you want on this cycle, waiting a year could only help. Get an interesting job you might enjoy. Who knows you may decide that's a better path anyway. You never know what could spark your interest. Law school was not even a consideration for me 10 years ago but here I am.

That's so good to hear!! Congrats to you and good luck with the rest of your cycle!!

em15... I am. PM if you need to chat. For splitters, it may make more sense than one thinks after some analysis. Can get into it in PM if you want.

[tuesdayninja]

anyone else not quite get the score they wanted but applying anyway?

I am, this was my 3rd take (163). Unfortunately didn't improve on my 2nd take (167) but I'm going this year for sure. Been at my current job a year and four months and not learning anything new.

I'm a splitter that got into some decent schools last cycle so hoping for similar results and maybe a slight boost from an extra year of work experience and not applying late like last time!

Could you PM me your GPA? I'm a splitter too, and I'm wondering how close we are

[UHAlum]

laqueredup and Tazewell, has your school list changed because of it?

Or SMU because I want to minimize debt and practice in Texas.

What kind of law? Depending on your answer, and based on above objectives, I'd at least apply to UH as well.. much lower COA than SMU even though SMU schollys on LSN are larger, the difference in tuition still makes UH cheaper for the average student with same stats. Comparable in overall ranking (at least US NEWS) and UH will still throw some money at you (despite already affordable tuition) with good numbers.

In a time where jobs are hard(er) to come by, no better place to be than in Houston. But, as my handle indicates, I'm only slightly biased

I'm brand new here and just getting started on my LSAT journey, but feel free to hit me with any UH or Houston-specific questions. I know several UHLC alumni as well as a few current students. Good luck!
