Super (!!) Splitter

Hey all,
I just got a *** on my LSAT! The bad news is I have a ***** GPA. I go to a good state school, Political Economy major + Spanish minor, and heavily involved in an intercollegiate sport (not D1 but there is no D1 at my school). I am an officer (managing 80+ members) and competing member of the team. I am graduating a year early and a KJD hopefully. Average softs, federal judicial internship and paid business internship. Strong LORs (judge who knows me very well from internship and prof I bonded with). I don't need a scholarship, but I obviously wouldn't mind :mrgreen:

I have tried myLSN and everything but obviously it is all up in the air. I would love to go T14 if possible, NYU top choice (I'm aware this isn't likely). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You'll likely get into DCN and M. Probably not getting into NYU, but worth a shot.

Not true, s/he will almost assuredly get into either Columbia or NYU with the privilege of paying sticker.

Why are you graduating early? I would take stay and raise your GPA

I don't have anything to do really and saving 40k isn't worthless. I just don't have time to double major, but I have too much time to change my minor into a major (if I stayed another year).

I had very similar stats and graduated NYU earlier this year

Just know you'll have a long wait as a splitter and most acceptances will come off the WL.

good luck!

Thanks, that at least gives me hope! I'm ready for a long wait. Congrats on your law degree!
