Semi Reverse Splitters 2013 - 2014
There was a thread for these applicants in 2010 and I was hoping to get an active one going for this current cycle!
Previously, the requirements were:
"An LSAT between 165 and 169.
An LSAC UGPA above 3.80 (lowered from 3.85 by popular demand)."
We can make adjustments to these parameters, though!
Post your results!
Personally, I'm LSAT 169, GPA 4.0+
In at Berkeley, NYU, GULC, Duke, USC.
Applied mid-January.

Looks like I qualify with 3.9X/168.
Priority reserved/WLed at Duke, in at BC and waiting on a few others (3 t14s, BU & WUSTL).
Most apps sent in December with one sent in Jan and another in Feb.

I love how specific this thread is!
Checking in as a semi reverse splitter and rocking that 167.
In at Duke, Georgetown, UCLA, GW, and UW. Waiting on just about every other T14 school. Applied in early January (mid-Jan for Berkeley and Harvard).

I wanted to be specific for a selfish reason mainly, hahaa- to see how the cycles go for other people in this position and to get some support from the stress that comes from its lack of predictability!fkt18 wrote:I love how specific this thread is!

Re: Semi Reverse Splitters 2013 - 2014
I definitely feel you, it's great to have a support network for us semi reverse splitters! So far it seems like a good cycle to have a strong GPA and sub-170 LSAT, but it's probably too early to tell.NicCageOnline wrote:I wanted to be specific for a selfish reason mainly, hahaa- to see how the cycles go for other people in this position and to get some support from the stress that comes from its lack of predictability!

Additionally, a thread where RETAKE isn't mentioned over and over.NicCageOnline wrote:I wanted to be specific for a selfish reason mainly, hahaa- to see how the cycles go for other people in this position and to get some support from the stress that comes from its lack of predictability!fkt18 wrote:I love how specific this thread is!

Did you guys write a Why Duke? It's not a top choice of mine, and I'm guessing my shitty softs are responsible for the WL, but obviously not writing one probably didn't help.

I didn't write a separate Why Duke, but I talked about it in my PS and that might have done the trick for me.Otunga wrote:Additionally, a thread where RETAKE isn't mentioned over and over.NicCageOnline wrote:I wanted to be specific for a selfish reason mainly, hahaa- to see how the cycles go for other people in this position and to get some support from the stress that comes from its lack of predictability!fkt18 wrote:I love how specific this thread is!

We should add the retake thing to the requirements. RETAKE SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED AS AN OPTION IN THIS THREAD.
I did write a Why Duke (at the last minute).

I feel like we're in the territory of 'it depends on your goals but probably retake' on TLS.

I'm sorry, but can somebody explain to me how a 169 and a 4.0 is a splitter? Or how anything in the range you suggest is? A 165 is what, still 91-92 percentile, and that's meant to be the low metric? Do some of you actually think that a 3.9 or 4.0 means that you should be scoring in the 170s? A splitter has one high metric and one low metric, not two high metrics that don't perfectly match up to your own subjective interpretation of a perfect correlation.
Really not trying to be a jerk--so I'm sorry if my tone offends anybody--I just can't really wrap my head around that line of thinking.

Re: Semi Reverse Splitters 2013 - 2014
No worries, I think this is why we're calling ourselves "semi" reverse splitters. Since many of the top 14 (or more like T6) schools care more about LSAT and we're often not in their range (I'm below 25% at some of them), we consider our LSAT score to be our weakness. Yes these scores are great, but the top schools in the nation are greater...

Re: Semi Reverse Splitters 2013 - 2014
Specifically, 169 and 4.0 is a splitter at Harvard, Yale, Columbia- above 75th GPA , below 25th LSAT. I'd say those numbers make me a semi splitter at Stanford, NYU, Chicago where a 169 is below the median LSAT.hopeful 0L wrote:NicCageOnline wrote:There was a thread for these applicants in 2010 and I was hoping to get an active one going for this current cycle!

Perhaps I should have qualified this post to be "T14 semi-splitters" because the definition of a splitter is indeed relative.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
