Based on projections for this cycle (highly competitive), it seems I neither over/underperformed my numbers. UT waitlist was a pleasant surprise but Irvine waitlist was disappointing — although I was only 1 point above last year’s median so a +2 target (seems very possible) would’ve made me much less competitive. Given the general unpredictability of splitter cycles coupled with this being the most competitive cycle in 20 years (in Spivey’s opinion), pretty happy with my results. I also worked with a Spivey consultant for the full cycle. I took the LSAT 5 times (166, 167, 166, 166, 165) because I was consistently practice-testing in the 170s – such is life.
