You were considered a"Admit" by LSP but actually got denied Forum

3.4, 170 denied at University of Utah. I was an alum, too.

did you tell them that you love gays and black people? did you write your PS about how you believe there is no God?

ha ha no, I'm pretty sure the thing that fucked me was that section of the application that asks what other schools I was applying to. I wrote down things like UVA, Michigan, Cornell, UCLA, etc. I'm pretty sure that they thought I was shooting for the moon and would go to the highest school that accepted me, and that I had a good chance of getting into some of those places.

that is complete bullshit that they ask that question. i've never heard of that before!

Really? It certainly wasn't the only app I filled out that asked for it.

aces.

There were a couple of apps I filled out that had that question, but the only one that I explicitly remember was Michigan State, and I got dinged there in spite of being a "Strong Consider" and above their 75th LSAT.

I think the lower the rank, the more likely that question will show up.

If we included WLs you could pretty much write down my whole cycle.

Surprisingly UMN was merely strong consider.

Edit: NVM, I'll list them:

Mich
UCLA
Texas (ding, only ding of cycle)
Notre Dame

I think I had more "admits". Guess not.

[bostonlawchick]

None yet, but I'm an admit at bc/bu on lsp and I'm fully expecting a ding at both. They dot seem to take many gpas below 3.4

You weren't an admit at either, according to lsp

my bad I could have sworn it said admit.

I think maybe I looked at it before all I had my transcripts in and thought my gpa would be higher. Wishful thinking I guess.

Texas' GPA floor is brutal, that sucks, man.

[gaud]

Georgia State....... above their medians but probably wouldnt have gone anyway, just applied due to fee waiver

[Bumi]

Ohio State. About a point below median GPA and about 15 points above median LSAT. I thought the midwest loves splitters!

Yeah, OSU is weird like that. In past years, they've accepted 163/3.08, but rejected 168/2.9. They seem to have a hard floor at 3.0 they don't budge on

[dissonance1848]

LSP is fucked for splitters. If you are <25%/>75% for GPA and LSAT scores, LSP doesn't work.

SLC/u of utah is actually pretty liberal, its just the rest of utah that isnt

[subtle]

I was a strong consider at GW but got rejected, does that count?

[Bumi]

Agreed. There's a nonlinearity for most schools at 3.0 that LSP doesn't take into account. And there's no WE checkbox so I bet it's terrible for NU.

This is indeed true.

I was below 25th GPA and at 75th for both GW and Davis. GW let me in and I was a deny, Davis dinged me and I was a consider. I was 10 points above the LSAT median for Miami and got WLed.

Supersplitters and/or URMs have pretty much NO use at all for LSP.

I was accepted with a 2/3 scholarship to Baylor's Summer term. When I told them I wanted to enroll in the fall, they flat out rejected me. Not even an admittance- a "Sorry, maybe try again in the spring"

Thought that was a slap in the face.

/168, 3.3

So they rejected you for the fall but accepted in the summer?

[dabbadon8]

Admit at Texas. Rejected.
Admit at UIUC. WL'ed.

Surprised by UIUC. Not by texas as a OOS splitter.

They have three terms you can apply to. I didn't want to enroll in the summer, but figured I'd see what package they offered (didn't even want to go to Baylor, but wasn't willing to flat out turn down a full ride). So I submitted an application for each term. They admitted me with a substantial scholarship for the summer, but later denied me for fall.
