3.0/179 super splitter, dual degree from ivy Forum

[ivystoner]

Subject pretty much sums it up. IR/finance dual degree from an ivy. fucked up my gpa by smoking weed to cover up an anxiety disorder I never knew I had. Since undergrad I've worked two years as an equity analyst at a mid tier bank. What are my chances for t14 schools (my dream is berkeley)? Would going to undergrad at the same school help with admissions? Thanks in advance.

Hard to say due to the lack of applicants with numbers like yours. With that said, your solid work experience should help you to separate yourself from your GPA. Might have a difficult time with Berkeley, as they favor high GPA's. Apply broadly within the t-14 and I think you'll have some solid outcomes because of your extremely high LSAT score.

If you have a 179, you will probably get into the majority of the T-14. Scholarship is another issue though. Actually Berkeley is relatively friendly towards lower GPA compared to some of the other T-14.

Where is your evidence for this? Last year according to LST they didn't let anyone in below a 3.3 and rejected a 3.4/179. Boalt is one of the more unpredictable T14s, but to say they are more friendly towards lower GPAs than the others is misleading.

That being said, being a splitter with a 179 and an Ivy background/good work experience will make your cycle pretty unpredictable OP. Apply broadly and see what happens.

apply widely and cross your fingers. you're going to want to do an addendum for that gpa, do you have work experience? Some time separating you from that number will help

for the love of god, make those numbers less specific and change your username.

there are what, 5 ivies w/ law schools? #s like that are going to jump out at people anyway.

The bolded is a baseless and ridiculous statement; it is probably the case that Berkeley weighs GPA to a greater extent than literally every school in the country.

Minus Chicago and Stanford....but point taken, generally Berkeley requires a 3.7 or above

I think the data show Berkeley weighs GPA more than those two. But you could make an arg either way.

I'd guess in at P V M, a little money (40k) from NU.

I had gpa and lsat flipped in my mind when I was writing that second statement. Berkeley is more friendly than several peer schools on lower lsat. My mistake.

Oops I guess my mix-up really ruffled some feathers. It's finals. My fault. See above post.
