172 and 3.65. Applied in November, only 1 offer to date
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:09 pm
Though I submitted later in the cycle than I would've liked (took the october lsat), I thought my numbers would've garnered several offers by now. Instead, I have one offer from a T-20, and none from the T-13: I applied to two T-20s and 8 T-13s. The good news is that I haven't been wait listed or rejected by any school.
My offer from the T-20 school is very good, so in the event i get little to no money from the T-13, I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on the relative merits of accepting a T-20 w/ little to no debt compared to a T-13 with substantial debt compared to reapplying in September.
Also, I'm trying to gauge how unusual it is for an applicant with a 172 and a decent GPA to have no T-13 offers in February. I have a few strikes against me - I failed a class and retook another (my undergrad GPA was 3.
and I did my undergrad at a school that isn't regarded nationally - but my softs are good: 20 months of work experience in management consulting (was 17 at the time of my application), tons of volunteer work, trilingual, and a respectable post-grad academic achievement.
Maybe it's just a slow year, or maybe this is normal. Or, does this suggest that I might have a red flag that is scaring away schools?
Thanks for the advice!
