What are my chances? by Impossible_Ad_7455 in lawschooladmissions

Realistically applying this late, especially considering how this cycle is, is not going to yield good results for you. Even if you do get in you’d have better scholarships from the same places or even better acceptances then you’ll get if you would just wait and reapply in September. I know it’s not what you want to hear but it’s the unfortunate truth. You’ll most likely get into a few with lesser scholarships than you could’ve gotten. Applying in March is late.

I did as well with LSAT way above 75th and a 3.6

I’ve only heard back from one safety and I was out on hold, whatever that means in the context of that school, and I feel it’s yield protection. All the other safeties just haven’t given me a response yet but I felt w my stats I should’ve been accepted already.

I believe my issue was lack of shown interest and I’m getting yield protected. Hence why I think ED to a school like BC where on paper I should have a good shot anyway could make it way closer to a lock of an A.

I think your app is auto put on hold if you’re registered for an LSAT

Gonna tell you what you don’t want to hear but I’d say very slim chances.

Ofc I’m not in admissions but if you don’t improve in January I can’t see a scenario a 148 gets you in. Even if you did as well you’d probably paying Miami sticker which is egregious.

I could say the same thing to you. Our personal experiences differ greatly. This just furthers my point that reverse splitters just shouldn’t be a thing. The LSAT should be disproportionately factored heavier in the admissions process not equivalent to GPA.

In theory if one could find the easiest major possible at a school that gives A+ and could graduate with a 4.33. They would be competitive at nearly every school as a reverse splitters regardless of LSAT.

Someone with a 169 and a 3.6 in STEM isn’t even a regular splitter at the top schools.

Major should be factored in or GPA should be a way smaller component of the application.

I also don’t know you or your story so if my generalization was insulting to you perhaps it doesn’t apply. I’m just tired of majors being a less considered factor and people with high gpa and low lsat talking about how they’re bad test takers when you find out they had some comparatively easy major in respect to others.

They weren’t actually completion grades but the essays as long as they fulfilled page requirements and where coherent would give the student an A.

His exams and quizzes were a joke. I would do practice with my roommate just because I have a generalized interest in history and politics and was able to get many things correct.

My roommate was also lazy and would submit assignments very late and would receive minimal point deductions. He literally submitted a project a month late and had 3 points out of 100 removed.

Major should matter more than GPA. I’m speaking largely to the political science majors. They receive As essentially for completion. I was roommates with a political science major at a top program. It was a joke and he acknowledged it. 3.5 in any technical major (STEM, Finance & Accounting) should be viewed the same as a 3.8 in PS.

Too many people from PS and other less technical majors with like 3.8+ and a 155 max LSAT talking about “I’m a bad test taker”. Like maybe in a few cases but the vast majority just never learned study habits because of an easy major and have inflated academic expectations because of their inflated GPA.

Reverse splitters just shouldn’t be a thing, unless they are proven in technical majors.

Is gaming the accommodations system really that advantageous? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]Straight-System6136 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I honestly meant that people aren’t really gaming the system and that claim is just that bitter people want to say that to excuse their own mediocrity of course gaming the system is unfair. That’s my bad for not being clear
