LSAT 176 GPA 3.82 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to Georgetown University

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…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.95 2022–23 cycle

Attending Georgia State University

…law (4+ years’ experience as a paralegal). Reverse splitter with C&F issues, misdemeanor, >10 years ago. Other softs: university assistantship, honors thesis, honors college peer mentor, honors college dean’s student advisory board, immigration-related volunteering. ADMG; we’re all in this together. DM if you want…

LSAT 174 GPA 3.21 2021–22 cycle

Attending Washington University in St. Louis

Super Splitter, non-traditional. My resume includes an MBA on which I received a ~3.50 GPA, as well as a hardship-based explanation for my low uGPA. I focused on my post-undergrad career (mid/high-level management and engineering positions in a fortune 250 company, volunteer experience, graduate work) in my essays…

LSAT 168 GPA 3.95 2022–23 cycle

Attending Harvard University

Pretty happy with how my cycle went as a reverse splitter. I think I had the benefit of having relatively in-depth work experience to write about in my PS, and having likely strong LORs from two professors as I was only one full year out of college when I applied. I originally planned to apply to a lot more schools,…

LSAT 176 GPA 3.45 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

This profile is here to allow other black male super splitters to be aware of the possibilities given your stats. Just know that people will always diminish your accomplishments but you are still amazing! Shoutout Nsqui for the full recap format and cryptanon for putting this whole site together <3. June 2021 LSAT…

LSAT 166 GPA 3.87 2021–22 cycle

Attending Emory University

Reverse Splitter that ended up with a good number of waitlists. All in all, my cycle went well, and I got scholarship money at every single school that accepted me. One thing to note, if you’re LSAT is on the lower end like mine, EVERYTHING matters. Your Personal statement, your recommendations, your why x essay,…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.49 2021–22 cycle

Attending Drexel University

…that I didn’t want to necessarily draw attention to. Splitter vibes basically :) Softs are T3 mostly because of my work experience in a legal field. I had a glowing letter from my boss and a detailed academic letter from a TA I had 4 times throughout undergrad. I have a resume in which I am very proud of (partly why…

…It’s certainly somewhat absurd that it seems common for splitters to either struggle to find acceptance, or have over 50% scholarships thrown at them, with few outcomes in-between, but this is the admissions game we play. If you have above a 160, by all means apply to a wide range of schools because at least one in…

LSAT 168 GPA 2.49 2021–22 cycle

Attending Arizona State University

Applied to ASU ED My entire goal since I started studying for the LSAT is to go to school there. I’m a non traditional super splitter. Wish me luck/pray for me

LSAT 180 GPA 3.30 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

…I’m glad I took time to work, and not just because (as a splitter) it probably improved my admissions outcomes. Don’t take the LSAT until you’ve reached your peak in practice. It’s not worth rushing into. Learn as much as possible about your intended career path before you even apply to law school. It’ll do a lot to…

LSAT 177 GPA 3.43 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

My best advice to splitters, beyond having a high LSAT score, is to write every essay for the school you’re applying to, even the optional ones. It shows the school you’re serious about them; plus, any opportunity to showcase who you are will put you ahead over other applicants who didn’t write those optional essays…

LSAT 168 GPA 3.97 2021–22 cycle

Attending Duke University

…non T14 T20 schools were not too friendly to reverse splitters this year due to intense focus on setting LSAT medians above 170. this could change but who knows try to interact with schools before and after you apply. go to the lsac forum and chat with adcomms. meet with them to ask questions about the school before…
