The general response here will be to retake the LSAT and not waste such am awesome GPA on a 164. Also, splitter generally refers to high LSAT, low GPA. You would be a reverse splitter.

I would retake the LSAT and if you don't do better, I would see which of the lower T14 are most forgiving to low LSAT scores (check http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com). I'm thinking your best bet would be one of MVP, maybe Michigan?

I want to apply ED somewhere this fall. My GPA is 4.19, and my LSAT is 164 (ahh, I know. I can't retake it since I am going abroad for a year. Also I don't want to take it a 3rd time). Other facts:
-Good softs
-Sociology major at Ivy

I am thinking Duke, Georgetown, or UCLA. Do you guys know if any of these schools are particularly kind to splitters?

ED to UVA, no question. UCLA is supposed to be a bit of a GPA-whore, but UVA historically takes kids who ED with 3.9+ GPAs/16x LSATs. Apply on the first day of the cycle.

You would be in at UCLA I'd imagine. They like high GPAs. I think you might get into UCLA RD to be honest. I might try for a T14 ED like UVa and hope to get into UCLA RD.

UVA ED is damn near a lock if you do it early.

As far as schools you actually want to go to (ahem) I think you have a good chance at Duke with ED

[Real Madrid]

Of the three you mentioned, I think UCLA ED is your most likely. In the T14, UVA ED is your best bet. I think Duke is a decent shot. I'd be very surprised if you got in GULC ED, simply because they are LSAT whores, and you are 4 points below their 25th percentile LSAT.

I think Stanford is worth a try

I think Stanford is worth a try

Seriously? I'm not applying to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. b/c I figured it was a waste of time.

Everyone seems to suggest that I should ED to UVA, but I think I am going to go with Duke ED - and Cornell EA - b/c Duke Law is smaller, more liberal, and less fratty than UVA. Also, I'd rather not be at a school where 60% of the law students are from VA (no offense to the great state of VA!). The preference for in-state students is offputting, even though I understand the reasoning. Plus, I think Duke is more friendly to reverse-splitters. Thanks everyone for your input, particularly paulinaporizkova and Real Madrid, who both gave me some hope for Duke.

We aren't too fond of you either.

Oh wow, didn't mean to offend. AHHH I am freaking out, maybe I should ED to UVA. Ok whatever, I will just let this marinate.

It's all good. Just kidding. Come to UVa. Virginia kids know how to party.

FYI, it's actually 40% from instate.
