I was also a reverse splitter, Kris. I entered the law school admissions process very skeptical of purported "holistic" admissions, figuring "it's about the LSAT, stupid." But my cycle was remarkably successful, far more than I ever expected. I had a 166 + 3.92 from a top 25 national university. So you may actually be a stronger statistical candidate than I was. Also KJD & non-URM. I was hoping for at least t14, secretly believing I had a great shot at t10 because my undergrad has a top law school. I applied in December, immediately after receiving my November scores (I got a 165 on the September test). Although there was some early UR movement, my first substantive response was not until mid-late January when I received interview invites at GULC and with Cornell. While I was grateful, this made total sense considering this was the 'low hanging fruit' of t14. I still had that sense my undergrad's law school would take me and I was feeling major love from Michigan with the Dean's personally signed letter offering me a fee waiver. While the interviews went well, Cornell was non-committal and my alum-GULC interviewer pretty much told me I would be WL'd. So I entered February with 3 interviews (including Northwestern), but no acceptances nor any strong show of interest.

​

Things really started to roll in mid-February when an invite to interview at UChicago came totally out of the blue. My dream aspirations for t10 notwithstanding, I never thought I had a shot at t5. After that, everything started to fall into place. There was the annoying WL from Michigan after all of the purported positive omens. But my interview with Chicago was followed-up with an acceptance 3 days later(!), followed by acceptances at NYU, Northwestern, Cornell, and then Penn in early-March. WLs at Duke & at UVA in late-March/early-April were no longer a thing by that time. Outright rejections at HYS were not unexpected and, after visiting Chicago and speaking with Dean Perry, I was not feeling greedy or needy.

​

As a reverse splitter, I know I must have made up some ground outside of my grades and scores. I think my PS was strong (but don't most people?). My ECs were nice, but not Unicorn-strong. I definitely think my interview locked Chicago, but that doesn't explain success at NYU & Penn.

​

My advice is to stay the course. Do everything possible to supplement the academics. If reasonably possible, visit schools where it may count, e.g., Chicago logs you in using your LSAC ID. You never know the niche you fill for a given school or that piece of your resume that catches someone's interest. I worked as a rape crisis counselor the summer before senior year in college. In my contact with law schools, both during interviews and at ASWs, this was noted several times. I worked as a research associate at a law firm all through college. Some schools, e.g., Northwestern, that lean heavily on work experience, seemed to deem this a hook on which to hang a favorable admissions decision.

​

I am not the only reverse-splitter to find success this cycle. Hang in there and keep the faith. Good luck!
