Splitters in Limbo Forum

[capricasixx]

If only it were as easy to retake undergrad as it is to retake the LSAT lol. That's the one I need a do-over on.

it sucks knowing that my LSAT would make me competitive at any school, and my GPA takes me out of the running for at least a handful.

+1000

I try to look at it as being fortunate that I am still able to get serious consideration at some of the best schools in the country even though I made some mistakes with my undergrad.

This is true. I am at least thankful that my LSAT still makes me a credible applicant at many great schools, even if my GPA means I'm not the most qualified candidate they'll get an app from. Glass half empty/full, etc.

Impressed with you guys and your ability to see the half-full side.

Another glass half full: we have law school to remake our GPAs. We aren't going to make the same mistakes twice!

But for real I tell all younger students considering law school that they can't be complacent about their GPA like I was

[drblakedowns]

Sometimes I just wish I could replace my uGPA with my grad GPA.

It's the only thing keeping me sane.

You might be the only sane person left on TLS.

Caught my second WL today. Clearly my positivity was a jinx. I guess this means I should resume doomsaying and negativity with everyone else. Sanity is overrated anyway.

Wait til you get to 8 W/L.

8! That's insane.

Who is everyone hoping to hear from this week?

[James.K.Polk]

Who is everyone hoping to hear from this week?

Only 2 left for me now - NYU and HLS. Don't expect anything better than WL in either case and (unfortunately) don't expect to hear it this week. Here's to hoping, though.

Still waiting on financial aid from 5/10 schools, though soooooo.....that, I guess.

[wrestlme431]

Who is everyone hoping to hear from this week?

Penn. They sent out a decision Monday tweet so I'm hopeful.

[BirdLawExpert]

Who is everyone hoping to hear from this week?

UVA, Emory, and USC are the only major schools I've got left.

[drblakedowns]

Who is everyone hoping to hear from this week?

I hear back from my Berkeley FR on the 26th. I am excited but also terrified.

[tezzeret]

Georgetown, Umaryland, and fordham are my last big guns left. The other three are trivial.

What's your split like there? I'm above 75 LSAT by a few and below 25 GPA by only like .03. I've missed two FR waves and I'm getting worried.

Good luck!

LSAT above 75th, gpa below 25th (173, 3.27).

[sjp200]

It's getting to the point in the cycle where I really wish I hit my PT score instead of 8 points lower. Night shift started to linger when I couldn't focus on the last section and pretty much knocked myself out of the 170's into the mid 160's with almost the entire last half of the section wrong. My gpa is mediocre in the context of law school applicants, and I'm expecting a few disappointments coming my way soon =/

Holy hell. Although TBH I'd rather the WLs start rolling in at this point... I got my apps in at the last minute so I'm just sitting here listening to the deafening silence.

[tezzeret]

I am still waiting on 6/14 schools and I applied as soon as the December scores came out. The 8 I heard from so far are a mixture of dings/admits/WL (3/4/1) so this wait is driving me nuts because I know time isn't indicative of a certain result, so I just want closure at this point. I can't make a decision with so many responses up in the air. This process is definitely one that tests your patience.

Thanks. Mind sharing when you went complete and UR?

[HawkeyeVodka34]

Anybody here still waiting on UT? I've been complete since 12/1, and it seems like every other splitter on these boards has already gotten in.

I went complete back in November and was denied last week by email. Good luck!

[drblakedowns]

I went complete 1/15, I'm not sure when I went UR, but the FR was 2/4

[squirtlesquad14]

Just waiting on UVA and NYU here. Got dings at Berkeley and Columbia and W/L at Penn and Michigan. At least Georgetown accepted me relatively quickly.

[drblakedowns]

Is there any functional difference between Columbia's 'hold' and NYU's "your application remains under review" email, besides Columbia suggesting a LOCI?
