I was sent a request for a video interview, but I really don't care to do it since I got a full ride at WUSTL. Is there anyway to bypass this interview. I'm not going to MSU anyway...

I would assume that you can call the admissions office and withdraw your application. If you already know you're going to go somewhere else, I would think this would be the best way to "bypass" the interview.

Thanks for the advice. I will do that.

Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be worth applying with a 2.95 CGPA (3.49 L2) and a 155 LSAT... This forum has not had a lot of responses yet in regards to who has been accepted so it seems difficult to know my chances.

I would say it's worth applying, especially if it's a school you'd seriously consider going to. Other people with a similar cgpa and lsat have been accepted (http://msu.lawschoolnumbers.com/applicants), though some have also been waitlisted or rejected. Your LSAT score is above their median, and if you could write a compelling addendum for your cgpa, you'd have a fairly decent shot at it.

That being said, MSU's employment outcomes are not stellar, so it may be risky to attend there without some scholarship, which may be hard to get. If you have the opportunity and the resources, I'd highly recommend retaking. If you're going to be a splitter, you want to have as high of an LSAT as possible, and that will give you a greater chance at a scholarship there. I myself did not retake (160 LSAT/3.96 GPA), so I almost hate to give that advice, but if you can, it would be in your best interest.
