BTW Anyone can take the 10 to 1 odds so if you guys believe he has a better than 10 percent chance it should be easy money.

No. there is zero hope. A snowball's chance in hell maybe, a 1 in 100,000 chance, but decent hope? No.red_alertz wrote: who's giving false hope? we are just saying there is decent hope, especially given his app was sent in few weeks ago and is still being reviewed, suggesting at least he is not an auto-ding, and again, LSAT isn't the only factor for the admissions process

too negative, too pessimistic, just because you guys have done better on the LSAT than the poster with 136 lsat, doesn't mean that you should over-exaggerate the effect of your accomplishments, kudos on ur lsat scores, but doesn't have to put down other posters to make ya'all feel good

Re: 2010 Splitters Application Thread
it's not that, my LSAT is considered a shitty score on TLS. It's the fact that you're telling someone who scored worse than 93% of people that they have a decent shot getting into a school where most people score better than 90% of people. LSAT and GPA by and far remain the deciding factor in school admissions and to pretend otherwise it dumb. Sure, there are a few anomalies of people getting in with 10 pts below median, but not 30 pts. We're not being elitist, we're being knowledgeable about how this shit works.red_alertz wrote:too negative, too pessimistic, just because you guys have done better on the LSAT than the poster with 136 lsat, doesn't mean that you should over-exaggerate the effect of your accomplishments, kudos on ur lsat scores, but doesn't have to put down other posters to make ya'all feel good

you guys need to stop trolling, if you have a bad LSAT and with a 4.0 GPA, u got scholly from william and marry, just proves LSAT isn't that important, profitprophet could easily make up his LSAT with other factors

Lol pretty sure his bad LSAT is at least 30 points higher than 136.
If he can "easily" make it up, you should take the 10 to 1 odds. There are independent escrow services we can use.
