Is UCLA friendly to lower GPA, high LSAT splitters?
WhiteMountains
23:48
To an extent. It depends how low your GPA is and how high your LSAT is
WhiteMountains
23:49
Generally, you need above a 2.5 gpa and 170 LSAT. The lower one score is, the higher the other must be
WhiteMountains
23:50
For instance, a 2.2 gpa and a 165 LSAT is highly unlikely to get you in
