Congrats, spaceman! When did you apply? I'm in state as well with strong softs, slightly below median LSAT, GPA>75th. Tech undergrad thoDrSpaceman wrote:In with a phone call from Dean Ingram! In state, median LSAT, 25th GPA. Strong softs and UT undergrad.
Been waiting since early November.
Being a UT UG with good numbers helps. I'd say probably 5-10% of the class are UT alum, so the school likely wants to keep them down for institutional diversity. However, many UT UGs have a "I go to UT, I'm super smart, I can get in anywhere" mentality and never study for the LSAT and end up at Baylor.DrSpaceman wrote:Thanks! I went complete 12/19. I think being a UT undergrad helped (one of my letters was from the public law chair at the school) and also being military. You've still got a great shot being above a 75th!

Yep, you're admitted! Congrats. What I got was 1) phone call 2) email about Facebook 3) status checker updated (a couple days later).fairhope71 wrote:I have been traveling in another country since Dec, so people can't reach me on my mobile.
About 20 mins ago, I got an email about facebook page for class 2018.
Does this mean I got admitted? (My name is not specifically mentioned in the mail)
Thanks for the info! And, sure, maybe a 167 is "relatively" middling on TLS, but you should be proud of such a good score.DrSpaceman wrote:Fair point. Perhaps I just don't want to allow for that, given the amount of studying I put into my still relatively middling score...

Not all OOS get the request. I think it's pretty objectively a good sign; at least last cycle, all the people who were asked to submit one and did so were accepted.wrhee wrote:I got the Why Texas today. Is this supposed to be a good sign? Do all OOS get it?
I need to stop checking this forum. I got a Why Texas? right before Thanksgiving, got admin dinged, and now I'm back under review. I thought I wrote a great Why Texas? but it seems to be the opposite. They hate me!ScottRiqui wrote:Not all OOS get the request.

It'll stay at denial until you hear back after the reconsideration, mine was updated about an hour after I got the call!annlean wrote:I am in the same situation.FairchildFLT wrote:

That said, I definitely heard my fair share of 'did you study?; Nah bruh, fuck that' conversations at the on-campus test site...
True - I guess if you don't appreciate the huge difference in outcomes between various schools, it would be pretty easy to view the LSAT as pass/fail, i.e. "If my score gets me into law school, why retake?"bound wrote:rebexness wrote:I mean thats not precisely true.

Soooo true. I know a large handful of people who took the LSAT one time, scored between 158-164, and were completely content and applied. There isn't a "retake" mantra IRL

Well that's about the best possible way to soften the blow - congrats on Berkeley!pjohnstron0626 wrote:Dinged. Out of state. Median LSAT; Above GPA. PhD/MA holder. Berkeley restored the balance of the universe by accepting me minutes after UT said no.
Someone earlier had luck with requesting a reconsider, if TX was a serious option for you. Congrats on Berk!pjohnstron0626 wrote:Dinged. Out of state. Median LSAT; Above GPA. PhD/MA holder. Berkeley restored the balance of the universe by accepting me minutes after UT said no.
