Splitter who bombed their undergrad GPA. Computer Science Major might’ve helped me but if there’s one thing I’ve learned. It is that the LSAT was my saving grace (◕︵◕)
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
STAY ON THE WAITLIST. If you’re willing to attend a school even if you get accepted on the first day of school, stay on the waitlist because it just might happen.
Use 7Sage, LSAT Demon, Spivey Consulting, and Dean Z resources. They are all amazing and together combine for the most effective and complete admissions advice.

Never let your UG GPA hold you back. Apply broad, aim for the 75th LSAT median and you’ll be successful. Good luck to all super splitters!
