I have a 3.99 gpa but only 157 lsat do you think I could get in with a scholarship? ?
9:43
@PermissibleFlagrantGreyhound: honestly dude, I've stopped asking that question and for your mental health, I would too. These applications and people getting in with what they have are so all over the place that makes me think it really is a holistic process

So to be honest, no clue. But fuck whatever I say mate, not only am I a Canadian but a first time applicant. Just hope for the best and be so delirious with positive thinking you'll get it.
i have a 3.52 and 167, I am hoping for a scholarship because nonresident tuition is bullshit when I have been at BYU for the past 2 years
