moral wrong

Read a random definition: Mistake of Law

A quick definition of moral wrong:

A moral wrong is when someone does something that goes against what is considered fair and just. It is not necessarily against the law, but it is still not right. For example, lying to someone or treating them unfairly is a moral wrong. It is important to try to do what is right and treat others with kindness and respect.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An act that goes against the principles of natural justice.

Examples:

Stealing from someone
Lying to someone
Breaking a promise

These examples illustrate moral wrong because they involve actions that are considered unjust and unethical. They violate the basic principles of fairness and honesty that are expected in human interactions.

https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats

someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats

Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering

when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture

ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below

got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you

InsipidLemon

15:21

Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:21

they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:22

yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle

InsipidLemon

15:22

yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too

InsipidLemon

15:22

Appreciate it man!

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:23

yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
