Many people with 3.5/169 not only got into michigan, but also got big money from vandy. Thus, his cycle went poorly, perhaps due to his inability to write in a clear and forceful manner.dk8 wrote: i'm suprised you didn't get into BU but the T14 was a longsot with those numbers.

I realize that you are on the board to act like a dickhead but "many" people getting in isn't inconsistent with my longshot statement. I'll admit I don't study LSN so I could be wrong. Point being is that it isn't suprising for a 3.5/169 to miss the T14.cutiewiddlebebe wrote:Many people with 3.5/169 not only got into michigan, but also got big money from vandy.

And yes, OP definitely should have applied to Vandy.

Every T14 is a reach for a 3.4 169. I wouldn't sit out a cycle to retry at a reach, unless you retake.dk8 wrote:I realize that you are on the board to act like a dickhead but "many" people getting in isn't inconsistent with my longshot statement.

I just wasn't interested in Vandy, otherwise I would have applied. As for the remarks on my grammar etc..., this is a message board, and by no means does this reflect on my application itself. I actually wrote a compelling and strong PS, have a good deal of work experience (over 3 years in corporate environment etc...), among other soft factors. So suck it, bitch.

That's a shame. Its placement rivals that of the lower T14 and has thrown lots of money at people with your numbers.GermX wrote:I just wasn't interested in Vandy, otherwise I would have applied.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Well, first of all I did get into BU, second I was waitlisted at USC and Georgetown, not rejected. Considering I have one less LSAT point, which can be huge in these situations, is it really that much of a stretch to ask if there was something wrong with the app? I think he definitely could have expected a BU accept, and definitely not a USC rejection.hannibalhamlin61 wrote:I admire his optimism. I just don't fully understand it.Boba Fett wrote:No, no.

Just wondering what happened...not gloating.
Don't get me wrong BU is a great school, despite what that sack-of-shit cutiewiddlebebe says, but it's the only one I see in the green...

^ You still only got into one school. None of those waitlists are going to net you an acceptance.
