I'll take that 25% GPA drop, though.
Does 25% GPA matter? Assuming I got over it, which I may be able to, do schools give a damn? It is still below median.

My guess is probably not nearly as much as median, but it doesn't hurt to be above that number.

Went to visit UT-Austin last year and I loved it. I too am a fan of the Salary+COL benefits that Texas offers.

edit for poll explanation: Voted "Other" for the unicorn Austin job. Second choice would probably be Dallas.

In my mind you're a pretty solid candidate if you're between the 25th and 75th GPA medians, assuming that your LSAT is above median. Below 25th is where unpredictable things start to happen.

I can definitely appreciate that

Does it specifically have language regarding being on a priority track? Excuse me if I missed something. I will be applying regardless.
You should have gotten an invite specifically mentioning priority track, which you then have to register for. You can fill your app out today, but you will not be able to submit until 9/1.
Thanks, shows how much I knew. I thought the deadline was the first all along but saw it was going to be available on LSAC today and got my waiver email the other day. Got excited that they were changing it up hah.
No worries I made the same mistake. The next 2 weeks of just waiting for press submit are going to be pretty rough.

I was really excited to have a decision in August, guess not

Tough beans I'm not sure that I know either in all truth

Part of me wants to stay in DC, the other part wants to become a Navy JAG, live in San Diego, and have Danger Zone on repeat.

Is this a real drawback for anyone? Just curious, it doesn't really matter to me.
