glitter do you only want to be in LA for some reason?? I would at least try for Boalt as well.

This should be the "retake" thread.

The reverse splitters thread should be the retake thread. This thread is just for people who have good numbers but want a label.

And I can say that, as a 4.0/168 who seems to meet this thread's criteria.

[kehoema2]

LSAT - 166
GPA - 4.0

Not sure if I want to go to a higher ranked school or get some money so right now...

Targets - Minn, Iowa, Indiana, Notre Dame, WUSTL, BU, BC
But applied to - Duke, UVA, Mich, Cornell, Penn, Vandy, UCLA
(amongst others, sorry fee waivers got me)

Hopefully I will be able to toss around a few options but we'll see.

Edit: Accepted - Penn State, Alabama (wanted those itunes)

[renaissanceman83]

Complicated GPA: 3.68 first year at ND, then 4.1 for part of seminary, then 9.8/10 from pontifical university. No LSAC GPA calculated because of the foreign institution... my guess is 3.85ish.

LSAT: 165

Applied to Harvard, Columbia, UVA, GULC, ND, W&M, GMU...

No acceptances yet.
No rejections yet.
No waitlisteds yet.

URM (Mexican-American)

Even Harvard is a possibility (albeit a slight one).

Wondering if any semi-reverse splitters got a status change to decision letter sent from NYU today?

Nope

[Arbiter213]

I only have a 3.8/168. Can I still join the club?

[Cassius Sterling]

Does anyone have any anecdotes as to how sympathetic NYU and Columbia are to semi-reverse splitters? Just wondering because I'm in this camp as well...

[vegenator]

No love for 170?

This should be the "retake" thread.

LOL. I love you, R6, but I'm sure you're aware that 170 is the median at many of the lower T14s, making it an appropriate cut-off point, in my opinion.

I'm in the LSAT range, but does 3.84 count?

I'll begrudgingly accept your 3.84.

How 'bout a 169 / 3.835?
I'm a full on splitter at CLS.

But seriously, this thread is very welcoming. It's easy to forget on TLS (where it seems everyone's score is a 17x) that us 16xer's still outscored a huge majority of testakers! Yay us!

[r6_philly]

Everyone in here qualifies for MENSA... you guys are very smart, I think I was just slightly luckier (on test day). I would actually admit that I was only expecting 167-8, so maybe now I can join?

[HeavenWood]

By popular demand, I have lowered the GPA requirement from 3.85 to 3.80. All other requirements will stand, however.

R6: Because you live in my home city and I like you, I will grant you honorary "semi-reverse splitter status." Wear it with pride, my friend.

No other allowances will be made at this time.
