It’s TLS terminology - you’ll see plenty of it here especially since this is a very numbers driven board. Just to be clear, a reverse splitter would be someone who is at or above the 75th% for GPA, but below the 25th% for LSAT. You only indicated that you were above the 25th GPA which just makes us assume you’re below median, hence below-average. That being said, you’re also probably going to find a lot of people pushing for you to retake altogether.
Yeah unfortunately the LSAT was never my thing. Studied for over a year and wound up with 71st percentile my second time which doesn't reflect my GPA or involvements. Hoping other components of the app help my chances!!

Hey, I feel this on a deep level. The LSAT is absolutely not my thing, and I do not think that it reflects my potential to do well in law school. Like you I also have a high GPA but a mediocre LSAT. I think these boards just attract people in the 97th percentile which is obviously only the case for the top 3% of testtakers.

I think that would be lovely, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

I think you guys can expect acceptances very soon. I just got an e-mail inviting me to apply as a "Boston College Fast Track candidate" and guaranteeing a decision within 10 business days of the date my file goes under review.

Do people receiving decisions today mind posting stats (or PMing) for the rest of us?

161 LSAT, 3.09 from a service academy.
URM/4.5 years of active duty military service.
Above average-highly to highly unique softs

Not sure if I will stay on the waitlist. I don’t think I’m going to wait / BC doesn’t cover full tuition for 100% post-9/11 G.I. Bill.

GW's status checker changed to "Decision made" a couple of Fridays ago and didn't send out the decision emails until the following Monday. This is a mean game we're playing.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
