Super splitter- Any shot at Michigan?

Post by GraceBay88 » Fri Jan 10, 2014 11:22 pm

178 LSAT
2.8 UGPA
Softs:
Master's degree in a humanities field from an elite program
3 years work experience (paralegal, AmeriCorps legal advocate, political campaigns)
very active in extra-curriculars

Any shot at Michigan? Might do ED


P.S. Already know to apply to splitter friendly schools like NU, UVA, GULC, etc. Am specifically interested in Michigan in this post

Don't know about your numbers/chances but Michigan does give a boost (59.5% more chance of admission for each month - September vs. October, Oct vs Nov!) for splitters for applying early (see http://admissionsbythenumbers.blogspot. ... atter.html)

Thanks. Yeah it seems that getting the apps in early makes a big difference for splitters

If $$ is an issue and you aren't 100% sure on michigan, don't ED.

Please do keep us posted. Super-splitters need all the data we can get.
