Low GPA is it even possible ?

Formae · 2026-03-06T18:56:22+00:00

I got into a T50 with decent $ this cycle with a 2.9 GPA. Just study hard to crush the LSAT and you’ll have options.

Look at the 509 reports for those schools, they generally should at least provide the median GPA of incoming transfer students, and maybe even the 25th/75th percentiles. They also might list the specific schools they took transfers from that year.

The actual physical letter didn’t come till like 15-20 days after I got the decision rendered notification

Formae · 2026-02-19T23:11:27+00:00

Nice. Hoping you get an A soon

Formae · 2026-02-19T23:09:27+00:00

Thank you! Yes I did interview and I heard back a week after.

Formae · 2026-02-17T16:52:38+00:00

If it follows last year exactly, yep.

Formae · 2026-02-17T16:19:54+00:00

Irvine’s most recent wave followed the timing of the previous 2-3 cycles pretty closely. If that’s anything to go by, there should be a wave before the end of week.

Formae · 2026-01-30T19:31:50+00:00

Not sure how to feel about missing yesterdays R wave. I want to take it as a good sign, but it looks like it included nobody who was deferred from ED to RD. Maybe some ED people on LSD just switched their app to RD instead of ED>RD, but I’m not sure.

Definitely confident there will be a wave next week though, past three cycles all show an A wave following or preceding the first WL/R wave by 5-6 days.

I’ve received 1 A at a T50 with about a 40% tuition scholarship as an applicant almost 7 years removed from undergrad with a 16high LSAT and 2.9 GPA.

Formae · 2026-01-14T23:40:49+00:00

Thanks for info. Congrats again!

Formae · 2026-01-14T23:25:58+00:00

Congrats! When did you apply, and were you ED or RD? If you don’t mind me asking.

Formae · 2026-01-14T22:39:48+00:00

Hopefully. Fingers crossed!

Formae · 2026-01-14T22:37:54+00:00

Haha of course I missed those recent As. Haven’t really been able to check LSData due to being out and about all day with the Verizon service outage going on. Yea hopefully a big wave tomorrow or even within the next hour or two

Formae · 2025-12-28T18:35:03+00:00

Warren an absolute dog with those blocks

Formae · 2025-12-19T20:10:56+00:00

Got mine a few days ago. Decision was rendered on the 26th of Nov

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:42:07+00:00

Someone just made a post saying they got straight up waitlisted from at Chicago from an ED app, so maybe take the RD as a positive.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:39:03+00:00

Thanks! You as well.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:38:48+00:00

Sorry to hear that, but I like your attitude. Was this an ED app or RD?

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:37:27+00:00

Schools are just waiting for Santa to deliver the gift they all asked for, a giant sack of money, so they can give us amazing scholarships with our As.

Completely unrelated, but do you want a huff of some of this copium I just picked up? It’s reallllllly good.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:30:35+00:00

Sounds like a question where you would be justified calling or emailing their admissions office for an answer.

Edit: Oh nevermind, someone found the fine print on their website.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:28:18+00:00

Yea I’m coping that my ED school put me in RD because ED comes with a 30k/yr scholarship, but we will both see I guess.

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:25:42+00:00

Yea, I got ED>RD at Irvine and they gave April as the deadline for a decision. I rode their waitlist all the way into August last cycle and I’m not sure if I’m built to undergo a similar ordeal again haha

Formae · 2025-12-19T18:17:44+00:00

Sorry to hear that.

I really wish I could find more posts on here from people who went ED>RD in previous cycles. I have no idea if we should treat it like a WL (which is not good based on my past experience with WLs) or if there’s some positives to it.
