Looking pretty bad for the T-14. You're going to have to retake the LSAT. I think I know what you mean by splitter-ish, but you're not close to being a splitter.

As is, you will probably get 1/2 scholarship from the top regional school in your area. For instance, if you're from Indiana, you'd be looking at great money from IU. You'd also get 1/2 scholarship-ish money from the WUSTL/Emory/GW set.

Ok thanks. I guess by splitter I meant that my gpa is close to or below 25% and my LSAT is close to or above 75% at a lot of T1 schools. If the word implies a steeper split then that, well I guess I was unaware.

I think I would be quite happy with 1/2 off at Emory, WUSTL.

No, no. Usually when people call themselves a splitter, they are a splitter for a T-14 type school, meaning they have the GPA you have, but have a 170+ LSAT. You're quite correct that splitter life can be school specific and for a school like GW you are indeed a mild splitter.

Are you sure you don't want to re-take the LSAT? If you can get to 168, you're going to start touching the lower T-14.

I might see how the cycle goes and then retake in June.

You should plan to retake in June while seeing how this cycle goes as a backup. A 169 will get you some great options and more than half at Wustl (hint: you shouldn't settle for half at Wustl). Otherwise, check mylsn for chances......

Based on my personal experience, you'll be competitive at T-14s for scholarship money if you get your LSAT in the low 170s.

Would you say that 1/2 off at WUSTL or Emory could still result in some sort of life-crippling debt?

Nothing that extreme, but the fact that a retake will get you more than half, and the fact that i doubt youve maxed out your score cause me to say you should retake. if wustl is your goal and youd be happy with half off, it just follows (to me) that you would be ecstatic wth more than half off. (I have a similar gpa but a slightly higher lsat)

10000% agree with this. If you look at Wustl's stats this year, they basically threw huge amounts of money at anyone above a 167, regardless of GPA. For example, I am an actually serious splittler (3.31/169), and WashU gave me 40k a year.

I literally have the same numbers as you. How did your cycle go/going? I also plan on doing the same plan of - seeing how cycle goes and retaking in June if I don't get the schools I want. Even though the idea of retaking is just..depressing.

PM the OP. Otherwise, it's unlikely he's going to see this.

Shit, I meant to quote him. Mb
