To be admitted or to not be admitted–that is the question. And why not try as a super reverse splitter???

here to give hope to reverse-splitters 🥰 dont listen to reddit - application materials > lsat score!! I was told by pre-law advisors/reddit to not even bother applying to half the schools i applied to, and I ended up receiving 2 T-14 full-tuition scholarships this past cycle let the admissions process be a personal…
…a differentiator for my application between “just another splitter” and myself.

Reverse Splitters out there, never give up!
…decisions for high stats applicants. Because I am a splitter, the essays were really important. I also had a complicated gpa addenda to work around. I decided to hire a consultant to help with choosing schools and essay review. For my particular case, I think it was the best choice for me. I ended up with a…
I’ll come back and put my “words of wisdom” for all the non-trad splitters looking for data points. 11/25/2025
Super splitters rise up(｡–｡ )人( ｡–｡)
…overcome mediocre softs, or at least not in 2024. Being a splitter didn’t help either, but I’ve seen enough people with my stats get better outcomes than me to say that it wouldn’t have screwed me on its own. Also, I’m pretty sure I might be the only person on this site to fail to get my GULC scholarship raised, let…
…to better guide your process, especially if you are a STEM splitter. If I were to re-do this process, I would apply to all T14. I wrote a trauma-based grade addendum that provided context to my GPA. I also wrote a short C&F regarding a possession of drug paraphernalia misdemeanor, which I thought FOR SURE would be a…
I applied very late in the cycle due to issues with my transcripts, and I would not reccomend that to anyone. Though I am a splitter, I have strong reasons as to why my GPA is so low. My biggest piece of advice is to find your unique voice. Remember your GPA does not define you and you are so much more than the…
Pay as much money as you can to do well the LSAT, especially if you are a splitter. A few thousand on a course can make up for tens of thousands in scholarships. Originally applied to 5 schools 2020-21 cycle with a 15low and got 4/5 waitlists, no acceptances. Reapplying this cycle with higher LSAT and fingers…
Canadian other-Asian ORM. Schools seem to like splitters less and less as cycles get more competitive. Grind for that GPA kids.
Got into law school as a reverse splitter. It’s very possible.
Splitter Advice Apply to less schools- : if you’re hesitant about living somewhere, it might not be the right fit. Tell your story, focus on the highs- : if you spend a paragraph in an addendum describing adverse circumstances from undergrad, spend a paragraph describing how you bounced back and put yourself in a…
…their selection works. At some schools it’s better to be a splitter than barely below median on both stats. Other schools stack a ton of admits right at medians, so it’s not necessarily true that 50% of students are below median. I had a pretty narrow target pool with three moonshots. In hindsight I wish I had also…
I am here to tell my story as a super reverse splitter. The chances are never 0%. (P.S. I applied to many more law schools, but I am too lazy to insert all of the info, so I will update my profile as I hear back from them).
