Hi TLS,
I am 3.6/153/Public Relations, wait listed and losing my mind waiting to hear something. I figure it's got to be my LSAT score. Has anyone been accepted with a 153 or under?

Yes.

I've been accepted places (T2/T3/T4) with a 150 LSAT. Surprisingly even waitlisted at UT and American.

...you are also URM?

I mean it says it in his profile...just sayin'...

Yes....I am also a URM. So nobody knows where I'll land on an acceptance board.

Clearly he's expected to qualify all his cycle related posts with, "but I'm a URM." This of course is despite the fact he has a detailed profile.

Don't you know it. Us URMs should wear a big sign on our avatars showing the boards that this is so. /sarcasm

Because clearly that's what akili was implying and everyone should read every profile before asking a very simple question.

doingitrite?

I was making the point that OP's cycle can't be predicted because a URM got in to schools with a 150.

eta: sorry if it came across a different way

i actually knew what you were getting at, but the poster above you did not - at least it appears as though he did not, given the response he posted. I'll be honest and say that it read a little condescendingly to me, but that clearly wasn't your intent. Sorry to jump on you like that.

It's ok. I should have been more clear!!

You cant assume everyone will check profile boxes to see if they are a URM when they say things like "I got a 150 and XXXX" giving false hope to those with low LSAT scores. Once again, people's URM sensitivity is wayy too high. There is a clear difference between AA debate trolling and providing useful facts/data/information to people including whether or not someone is an URM which drastically alters the meaning of their LSAT/GPA.

I didn't mean to start all that. I should have stated the URM status at first.

And way to go on your cycle, too.

the only way to settle this is with 10 more pages of inane bickering.

Did you at least apply to some backups? A URM with those numbers should have no problem with at least a handful of Tier 3's.

3.3/153 here. Accepted into WVU & NKU. Waitlisted at Cincinnati, went under review three times at UK, and on hold at Louisville. Still waiting on Richmond & pending at Alabama. Oh, and I am not a URM.

Thanks, this cycle has been a lot more friendly than I thought it would be.

151/3.91/English/Business Concentration, non-URM.

Admitted:
Ave Maria
Houston
St. Mary's
Southern Methodist (PT)
Texas Tech
Texas Wesleyan

Pending:
South Texas

Denied:
Baylor (Declined Application for Spring 2012)

153 and 3.98 and was accepted and earned a full scholarship to Widener. You can receive admissions with a 153, so it may be another factor.

Strong softs. I have 10 years work experience (worked in a jail for the Sheriff's dept), African American Studies major (which no one does, I am the only one graduating with it from Columbia this year), and great LOR's.
