Schools that are friendly to "splitter" candidates?

Post by drworm14 » Thu Oct 25, 2018 1:58 pm

Hi everyone,

I am a senior who last-minute decided to apply to law school. I am in Army ROTC, and instead of commissioning Active Duty, I am going into the Army National Guard, and applying to law school for the upcoming admissions cycle. I am taking the November LSAT, and am currently scoring between 168-172 on practice tests. However, I have a rather low GPA, at a whopping 3.41. What top schools are "splitter-friendly", i.e. least likely to reject me on the basis of GPA? My top three are Northwestern, Georgetown, and Cornell, with one of those three receiving an Early Decision application from yours truly. Any reply is appreciated, thanks

Most important now to maximize your LSAT. It'll make a huge difference whether you end up with a 168 or a 172. Behold:

If you ED, ED Northwestern. It tends to be more splitter-friendly than Cornell. And it's a T13, unlike Georgetown.
