I would gladly take the other 'splitter' GPAs in this thread.

do you have any positive trend towards the end?

Only slightly, although I did have stellar grades my freshman year FWIW (even if just to show that I'm capable) and went to a top tier school. Submitted a lengthy addendum explaining my circumstances and tried to focus on how I've excelled since graduating.

I realize I applied to far too many schools, but I had no idea where I would fall in this year's cycle, and I got fee waivers, so I decided to just bite the bullet and see what happens.

I'll post other results when they come in. Glad to see someone with similar stats get into UT (my top school).

u...r...m.

Yeah I saw that. I understand it provides a boost, though I'm hoping it's not so tremendous as to completely disqualify someone with my numbers.

169 will probably be the most unpredictable LSAT score this cycle, given the decline in applications forcing some schools to drop their median from 170 to 169 (hopefully!). Plus, you only need one reach to bite to make all the apps worth it!

If only there was a way to get a whole of a bunch of applicants with a certain set of characteristics...

I just don't understand how one test counts more than working your
ass off through undergrad. Getting a 3.8 from Berkeley stops mattering and it's so upsetting.

Well LSAC correlates lsat scores and gpas with first year grades at law schools and find lsats correlate better, probably do to the consistency between tests compared to GPAs. I think it makes some sense, and it's not line your ugpa doesn't count, it's still w big deal.

not leaving sunny Florida if I can help it....

you shouldn't waste that lsat score you could be applying to the bottom t-14s this cycle with that lsat score

Honestly, GPA is too low for T14, and I really want to stay in Florida. Graduating UF in May. Got $30,000/yr with top 50% stip at Stetson, is very tempting.

Hold out for UF. Top 50%, likely with section stacking, is unconscionable.

You wouldn't agree that a 3.8 in Neuroscience is vastly different from a 3.8 in cinema studies? Even if both are from **Berkeley**
