While Wash U is admitting a number of “GPA splitters” (students with high GPAs and low LSATs), Georgia has yet to admit any lawschooldata users with a low LSAT. Thus far, everyone has had at least a 169 LSAT or higher. Given that a 169 was UGA Law’s median last year, they seem to be targeting that number again this year.

And if we check out UVA Law, we see a school that’s pursuing a little more of a balanced strategy:
There’s a right angle, but it’s not quite as distinct as what we saw with Wash U—it’s difficult to tell if it starts at a 174 or 173 LSAT (with a 173 being last year’s median). We can see the development of a GPA target line around last year’s median of 3.96, but there are a few hardy souls who have been admitted with lower LSATs and “low” GPAs (in a normal world, a 3.88 would not be a “low” GPA, but that’s how law school medians have been trending over the past few years).

yeah about washu you really need to be above either median or you will get waitlisted. this is not a reflection of the strength of your application but rather the strategy they are pursuing to increase their ranking

I am sure the data exist to back it, you guys are already going far beyond the standard of the average American and the average person in your age group. Should be proud even if you don't get a t14 or whatever. A Single A is a fat achievement
