Uhhhh....no.DaRascal wrote:Oh yeah and would it help to write an addendum explaining how my woeful immaturity and exposure to alcohol are the reasons for what happened last semester?
Have you graduated yet? If not, work on getting straight A's this semester. That's the most important thing.
If yes, no you're not straight-up auto-reject, but a 3.64 is close. (The lowest Yale accepted last year was I think 3.63.)

I'm on top of things this semester and definitely think I can get my LSDAS back up to a 3.7.Elston Gunn wrote:Uhhhh....no.DaRascal wrote:Oh yeah and would it help to write an addendum explaining how my woeful immaturity and exposure to alcohol are the reasons for what happened last semester?

Assuming my LSDAS stays in the 3.6 range, would a 175 get me in everywhere?

Depends on the PR URM bump, which I really can't speak to. Maybe ask in the URM forum. If you were white, you'd probably be out at HYS and Chicago, with a 3.6/175.DaRascal wrote:I'm on top of things this semester and definitely think I can get my LSDAS back up to a 3.7.

You've got a good shot at Harvard and Stanford with a 3.7, 170+ since you're a URM , but Yale does whatever the hell it wants.DaRascal wrote: I'm on top of things this semester and definitely think I can get my LSDAS back up to a 3.7.

I don't know, I may be overreacting to how ridiculous UChi was with waitlists this year, but they've gotten very picky about GPA.DaRascal wrote:Wow. Seriously?

Well using the LSDAS calculator on lawschoolpredictor it looks like even with a 4.0 semester I'll be at a 3.69. My school does administer A+'s though so that's a good thing, but I'm guessing there's a good chance I'll be in the 3.6 range by the time I apply in September.Doorkeeper wrote:You've got a good shot at Harvard and Stanford with a 3.7, 170+ since you're a URM , but Yale does whatever the hell it wants.DaRascal wrote: I'm on top of things this semester and definitely think I can get my LSDAS back up to a 3.7.

I'm just going to study my ass off for the LSAT and go in there trying for perfection.

Probably. You screwed yourself this semester.

Yeah this. If you get your GPA back up a bit and destroy the LSAT, you might still have a shot at the T6.Tiago Splitter wrote:Look dude nothing is completely out of the picture. Just go crush the LSAT.DaRascal wrote:romothesavior wrote:Probably. You screwed yourself this semester.

Focus really hard on your grades this semester. Get that 4.0. Better yet, get some A+s too. "Crushing the LSAT" is easier said than done. Some people have no choice but to put all their hopes on the LSAT. You can actually do something about your grades right now, so work it. Obviously you will still need a good LSAT. Your grades will dictate whether you need a 170+ or a 175+.
