I kinda hope I get Berk. I ended up really liking their optional statements and banged out a nice piece of writing. Would like the external validation of it being a good piece but I don't necessarily want to go there.

bc how would so many people below medians get in and so many people above medians get rejecred
berk is the most holistic of the t14s so! always worth taking the shot
[] baddestbunny
19:44
I don’t know that many people above medians do get rejected actually
Dkk
19:45
Hmmm
[] baddestbunny
19:46
That could always be a reflection of the amount of effort put in, ex: people with high GPA and LSAT tend to put more time into their essays, but you usually don’t see people above a certain LSAT + GPA threshold getting rejected widely

My point was more that I don’t think you can quantify soft impact by a percentage bc it varies so much on a case to case basis
JumpySubsequentDolphin
19:48
Yeah for sure
JumpySubsequentDolphin
19:48
Probs matters more for people above one median and below another
