In today via email. FYI, over 75th LSAT, under 25th GPA.

Congrats! Hopefully those still waiting will hear something soon as well.

... 164. I choked big time on RC when it came time for the real test

Hmm are you planning a retake? Is your GPA higher than 3.0?

No my gpa is in the dumpster from my first few years. Way up after joining the military, but couldn't dig out of the original hole. I thought about retaking but I don't have the time to study with work. I figured WL would be best case scenario, but application was free so I threw one in anyway.

This is almost my exact numbers and situation. Except I chose to go green instead of blue...

How does the admissions office usually handle reverse splitters?

There's still a potential for a 165+ for me but I am just being conservative in my estimate.

Looking like a 161-164 lsat
gpa:3.84
Good softs(TFA, solid ps, recs, etc.)

I could retake of course but between working 6-5 every day and then studying and then trying to stay healthy on top of that has been a bit of an issue..

Reverse splitters do fine, but come back with a real score.

you will get in...but i'd probably retake in December and apply to some T14's as well.

Phone interview Monday. A friend is going here and doing very well for job offers in the corporate world.

ur friend is at the law school? what do u mean corporate world?

Congrats! Let one of us know if you have any questions.

[chuckbass]

Congrats acr

I'm really interested in how many ED people they take, and if this will affect other people with good numbers who don't ED (insofar as if the max you'll get without ED is 120k or something because they accept 30 people ED).

Also wondering if we'll be able to raise our medians, considering we have several people locked in for next year that were below both medians that were deferred from my cycle.

Can't be too bad though considering we held the 166 while adding almost 100 people to the class.

Does anybody know why they did this? LST has them at a 19.3% underemployment score for the Class of 2013 with 300 graduates. That's already a large number of people who may regret ever attending this law school. I can't even fathom the reasoning of adding 100 more graduates to last year's incoming class total, unless they have some ability to predict a massive upswing in the lawyer job market in a few more years? Nobody else seems to be predicting one.

That said, I've done the phone interview, and am awaiting a decision. It's a great school, but one of many that should continue to probably keep class sizes lower than it previously has.

Honestly I think way more people accepted offers than they anticipated.
I think they were shooting for like 220 to keep the class profitable.
But yea admissions is a lot of magic/vodoo/divination so sometimes things don't work as planned.

Then I would suggest to WashU's admissions folks to have a class size cap. They don't need to graduate a class anywhere near 300 in the foreseeable future.

Still, I'd be happy to attend if the debt-reward risk calculus appears to be in my favor, but we'll have to wait and see.
