Pretty much.

Just my opinion, but the purpose of this forum seems to be getting real world opinions from the knowledge of the community, not a link to a numbers site that simply takes into account two aspects of your application.

Honestly, numbers are all that counts. Softs can help if you are on the fringe, but they will not save you. Your GPA is excellent. You should be in at UNLV and L and C (or at least wl). Im not sure about the other ones. You are a reverse splitter for these tier of schools.

Dude the people who poast on LSN are real people brother. Also those 2 aspects happen to be pretty much all of what gets you into lawl school as long as you don't shit the bed w/PS and recs.

Everyone here who is knowledgeable gets their knowledge from LSN.

LSN will be dead on for 95% of applicants (no game changing softs, super splitters, URMs).

Thanks for the opinion. As Grizz put it, I actually do have (why I believe are) game changing softs, so I'm interested to see how it goes. I've never been good at standardized tests either....

They could be game changing if they are TFA/military/peace corps/crazy WE.
Also, as I said, you are a reverse splitter (meaning high gpa/lower lsat) so your cycle will be unpredictable. Id apply to an array of schools and see what happens.

I have crazy WE. I'll be sure to post back and let you know how it goes. While I wanted to puke when I got the LSAT score today, I've relaxed and have moved from denial to drinking...
