172/3.8 Retake for HYS (?) Forum

[echamberlin8]

I agree with the advice given in this thread. I applied this cycle with a 3.85/179 and I was rejected from Y and S, and initially held by H before being accepted just a few weeks ago, in late April- basically the last round of admits. So I barely made it in. From my experience, then, I would recommend a retake for H, if that is what you want.

That's kinda annoying you got rejected from Y and S with those numbers. They really are insane to get into.

Didn't hear that you got into Harvard. Congrats.

I was accepted to H in January with a 3.8/173 and WL at S and Y. K-JD. So it's not impossible.

You must have some other mitigating soft's, a flat 3.80 is a very hard hurdle to overcome. As others have said here, you generally need a high LSAT to offset that GPA.

Agreed. Do you think your softs or an awesome PS sent you over the edge? Or was it just the luck of the draw?
