3.1 GPA and 174 LSAT Forum

In splitter situations like this, if OP has some unique softs, would that get him into T10? Just a question.

You don't even need unique softs. You need need a well put together app and ED to UVA or NU (with WE). This is TCR for 172+/3~ GPAs. You can even ED to both in one year, as UVA gets back within two weeks. TBH I don't think there is any reason why a splitter like this can't score T10 with both UVA and NU as targets.

Excuse my curiosity, but what would be a well-put app in this case? Carefully written Why X essays plus strong faculty recommendations? What other elements make a well-put app?

I had a 3.2x and a 172, so not quite the same as you, but somewhat comparable. You can check out my cycle at lawschoolnumbers.com/eugeniedanglars

I second the advice to apply early and well. I got several acceptance in December having applied in October. Feel free to pm if you want more info/advice/friendly splitter conversation

Thanks everyone for all the tips, they're all really helpful. I have another question, does it make sense to pay sticker to a t14?

This a very personal decision that comes down to how risk-averse you are, how debt-averse you are, and what your priorities are. I personally would have been okay with paying sticker for Georgetown, but a lot of people would find that to be a huge mistake. No one can tell you what's "worth sticker" because different people have differing opinions (outside of HYS, at least).

Yea you're right about that, thanks!. It's just I'll be going into law school with college loans too, so it's overwhelming sometimes to think of almost 200k in student loans after graduation.
