This. I was a splitter with a sub 3.1 GPA last cycle, and all the 3.5 gpa ppl crying splitter annoyed me to no end. I know they mean well but come on...

Oh, and GL to all you 2013 splitter applicants. Be sure to ride out those waitlists.

Dont be offended. We're (or at least I was) just jealous and annoyed at myself for getting a low GPA so I hated on the 3.4 crowd and up. You know, kind of like those people that get upset when they "only" get a 172 on the LSAT. I totally get why you could be upset with that, but have sympathy on us true GPA undesirables.

I get it. Ftr I am upset with my GPA AND that I "only" got a 173. So I understand where the hatred comes from. But you know what, I hate people with a 3.7+ and 175+, so isn't it funny how alike we really are?

Yeah we have this debate every splitter thread and I didn't want to launch into it with Noodley, so I stayed mum... but OP was pretty clear:

For the sake of not making this a humblebrag thread for people who are only considered splitters at HYS let's say splitters with <3.3 and >163 would be the target for this thread. Edit and update posts as cycle continues.

How did WLs go for you? Did you get off a few/hear of people who did? Time frame?

I gave up trying to figure out which one it was and just accepted that it was the best of both worlds, panda AND dog. My favorite avatar on TLS!

Its a dog.

But it has a right to be a panda, if it wants to.
