^ retake, a couple 3 more pts on the lsat would get you big money at t14s.

I got a 167 and URM with a 3.8 GPA. I'm hoping there will be other T-14's that accept me. I don't think I could bear to take the LSAT again and risk getting a lower score. Oh well.canadianbrother wrote:^ retake, a couple 3 more pts on the lsat would get you big money at t14s.

No C+F issues. Only took the LSAT once. Biology undergrad, working on a Masters in Criminal Justice with a 4.0 GPA. At least we're in this together!Winston1984 wrote:Pretty surprised at this..

I doubt he/she will HYS bound but more likely CCN bound.
If she/ he is AA she / he will be in HYS.

Vehemently disagree-- this is not YP. lc39 is a 3.7 with a much higher LSAT and she got into Duke (MA URM as well).canadianbrother wrote:Definitely YP, he/she is HYS bound.Dream_weaver32 wrote:URM, with a 167 and 3.8?

If LSATneurotic doesn't understand YP then I suppose I don't either. I thought that YP happened if a school thought that your numbers would get you into a higher ranked school or a school that you were more likely to attend. Could you explain what I'm missing?xylocarp wrote:I don't think you understand YPLSATneurotic wrote:Vehemently disagree-- this is not YP. lc39 is a 3.7 with a much higher LSAT and she got into Duke (MA URM as well).

Re: Duke Law c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015 cycle)
just because someone with better numbers than you gets in doesn't mean that you're not getting YPed. that proves nothing. maybe that person wrote a Why X and you didn't. maybe that person is from around the geographical area of the school and you're not. maybe they're a legacy. maybe they visited the school and acted really interested. schools don't just WL anyone with numbers over a certain threshold, that would be absurdfra wrote:If LSATneurotic doesn't understand YP then I suppose I don't either.

Re: Duke Law c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015 cycle)
Looks to me like a 50/50 case. YP is easiest to see where applicants within a certain profile basically all get into H, but none/very few get into the YP school. Penn is a great example: Over the past three cycles, for AA's with 3.65-3.85 GPAs and 164-168 LSATs, 8/9 (89%) got into H, while only 1/7 (14%) got into Penn. Shift that a little bit to a 3.4-3.6 and 160-164 AA and H basically disappears as an option (1/11), but Penn gives a far better chance (6/17) than for the better qualified (by numbers) applicant.fra wrote:If LSATneurotic doesn't understand YP then I suppose I don't either.
