Most of what worked for me as a splitter–I assume that’s why you’re reading this–is what you would expect (difficult major + writing ability + significant work experience) and doesn’t lend itself to “advice.” I did, however, think about how to address a downward trend in my grades. My GPA is low because of my final…

Reverse splitters exist!!!
…tuition offer and it was my only T30 acceptance. being a splitter is no fun, do everything in your power to get your GPA up. Kind of a no-brainer, but I feel like it should be said. Don’t rush your applications just to apply early. This was most likely my biggest mistake. Don’t trauma dump in your PS. If you have a…
Reverse splitter applicant here! Don’t be afraid to shoot your shot. You are worth more than a three digit number.
…year. So, take my cycle with a grain of salt if you’re a splitter in the future reading this. GPA went from 3.53 when I applied initially to 3.61 and graduated summa in March of the cycle.
…statements were my diversity statement *reverse super splitter for all applications (except ASU)
Hey, you’re probably reading this because you have similar stats to me. Welcome, super splitter! I used this site as my guiding light when applying for the 2024 cycle. I always appreciated the “wisdom for future generations” on profiles that actually wrote something, so here are my scattered thoughts that I wish…
…helpful and kind, especially considering that I was a splitter applicant and had to focus my application around my softs. Reddit doomscrolling is the equivalent of undergrad CollegeConfidential - do so at your own risk, but it is not helpful. The emails will come in as they come in! I stopped applying to safeties…
Reverse splitter success story! Believe in yourself 🥹
work experience is your friend!! especially as a super splitter and your PS/supplements and general writing skills matter way more than you would think, especially if you can tell a convincing story about why law and why now

…was in November. All this applies doubly if you’re a splitter, like I was.
…in places where she would also want to live. As a super splitter, it is important to apply as broadly as possible. ** I probably should not have so hastily withdrawn from my WLs. I did it immediately assuming 1) I would get at least a couple pennies from UVA or Penn and 2) I would get nothing off of the WL from the…
Reapplicant from 2022-2023 cycle (LSD doesn’t have an option to have multiple cycles in the tracker and I wanna keep my old data there for my splitter friends). After some family things, my applications weren’t great and it just wasn’t a good time for me to do law school. Between cycles, I’m working full time and…
