I'm from the South and I intend to stay there, but when I applied, Seton seemed enticing because of it's proximity to New York City and I felt like varying up my locations a bit.

I'm still waiting on scholarship information. I was admitted right before Christmas, so I'm not expecting that right now.

There are nice and bad parts in every state. Newark is bad. You do not want.

That's what I've heard from a couple people now. I don't think I could handle it haha. As of now, Seton's not in my top choices even with a moderate scholarship so I'll probably be withdrawing very soon.

I know in school threads its not encouraged, but here, can a mod tell me if explaining why a retake might be a really good idea is allowed?

Go to USC and we'll be in the same classes and not know it. lol

I was waiting for this. Not a mod, but I permit one "retake" post. You can have it.

Those gpas...damn

was wondering the same. at the very least could "reverse splitter" be replaced with "don't want to retake" in the thread title.

OH WELL SINCE WE HAVE PERMISSION...

Watch out, we got a bad ass over here.

This is the sauciest I've ever been on TLS. And I still can't without a smiley emoticon.

I thought reverse splitter was just GPA over median and LSAT below median? Anyway, I fit that profile for a few schools on my list so...

So glad to be among kindred spirits here

Is everyone planning on going this cycle? I'm T14 or bust so most likely I'll be sitting out and retaking.

I am. I could retake, but with working full time and knowing my own history of retaking standardized exams, I know it's not worth raising my stress levels again. Good luck to you!

I am seriously considering taking June and seeing what happens. If I go up, negotiate for more scholly money (or if I go up +3 or more, sit out and reapply), if I go down, it shouldn't hurt me.

Good luck!
