I said I preferred summer start. I wonder if that's holding it up?

I'm rapidly approaching the point where I can't really do that, though. Michigan is my favorite, but not so much that I'd go without visiting, etc.

I wonder how big of a difference visiting makes, especially for YP. Its something I think deserves more discussion

[goingtothestore]

Complete around 12/20 here...who else is still waiting with non YP stats?
LSAT>75 25<GPA<50

<--- This guy

Complete late November. LSAT >75, GPA<<25

+1

+1, same stats, complete early December.

Comforting to hear that there are others in a similar position. Checking the status checker each morning and seeing complete is making me stressed.

Admissions catch-22: can't avoid the WL/ding without visiting, can't afford to visit without an acceptance, can't go all in for UM without visiting.

Similar stats here. Complete around new years. Movement on splitters seems to be really really slow.

Waiting to see where their median will fall. They'll either be desperate for the LSAT or we'll be chopped liver with no GPA to offer. Blergh.

You'd think with the massive decline in LSAT takers the first will be more likely, which is why I'm confused by the lack of movement. By now they've got to know what their app pool looks like.

I disagree. I think the massive decline makes the drop to 167 inevitable, and each point dropped opens up a bigger slice of the bell curve to choose from, and plenty of people in that pool have appealing GPA's and softs.

That said, if I were them I'd hang on to splitters because I bet the median could still go either way based on yield.

That makes an unfortunate amount of sense. That would make this the year of the reverse splitter. I'd like to think that the schools outside of the t6 are gonna be fighting over the 170+ people come yield time so they don't drop, but that might be a massive amount of wishful thinking.

I've been getting this feeling from reading through many of the t14 applicant threads this year. It seems like people with mid-high 160s LSATs and 3.8+ GPAs are having great cycles.

edit: this could also just be bitterness as a big splitter with general lack of movement on many of my applications...

I kind of agree with this...as a reverse splitter I've been pleasantly surprised with the decisions I've received. I was banking on maybe, maybeeee getting into 1 or 2 lower end T14s, but so far my cycle has exceeded those expectations. I even have a c and f issue (at the risk of outing myself). I honestly feel like I don't deserve any of it...I want to call them and be like ARE YOU SURE?? But, still no word from Michigan despite applying 2 months ago, and the rest I haven't heard from yet are surely rejections/waitlists because the acceptances got back to me very quickly. I'm also not likely to get any scholarships as a reverse splitter, so you traditional splitters still have that going for you. Good luck to everyone, we'll all make it in the end

I'm a reverse splitter.. Michigan why you no take my 3.97?!

No kidding! You got more money than me from GW and Chicago waitlisted me. What's this LSAT good for anyways?

Congrats on your cycle so far and good luck on the rest of your applications!

I'm sorry But thank you, and best of luck to you as well. WE GOT THIS

I haven't heard anything from any of the t14 with the exception being WL at Chicago. I wrote a Why Michigan and I think, increasingly, it'd be my top choice if accepted. Stop hating me and be my Valentine? I visited in October and it's close enough for me to drive out there again.

[googlyeyes]

Dinged today via status checker :/ good luck to everyone waiting!

[janwlee]

In via status checker, as of Feb.9.
I submitted on Jan.7 and received their status checker on Jan.13.
My GPA is below their median but LSAT is above 75%.
Good luck everyone! if you have specific questions you can pm me.

I said I preferred summer start. I wonder if that's holding it up?

I'm rapidly approaching the point where I can't really do that, though. Michigan is my favorite, but not so much that I'd go without visiting, etc.

I wonder how big of a difference visiting makes, especially for YP. Its something I think deserves more discussion

Hmm I got a fall start acceptance, but got an e-mail saying that since I had checked the box saying I was open to either they wanted to give me the opportunity to switch. Based off that e-mail I suspect their summer session is emptier than they hoped.

[checkin2014]

My SC hasn't been updated. I am still at 2/9.....
And still complete.

Sigh. I wish I could figure out what's going on over there.
