Admitted to University of California—DavisSofts matter. Shoot your shot! Blanket the T20, especially if you’re a splitter or reverse splitter. If a $45 CAS fee gets you an extra acceptance or even $50 extra in scholarship money it’s worth it. All fee waivers unsolicited except Berkeley and UW. Wrote all optional essays. Also unsolicited Why X for CLS, UVA,…

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…
Super splitters rise up(｡–｡ )人( ｡–｡)
…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 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).
…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…
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…
…you to work. Let me be the motivation that even super splitters can come out in the T14 against all odds in the most competitive cycle in history. Show your dedication. I worked in the legal field dedicated to one area of law for about 6-7 years before putting my head down to beat out my miserable GPA from undergrad…
Going to try to keep this updated through my cycle to help out any other super-uper-duper splitters out there. Brief background**:** Changed my major twice with a strong upward trend in GPA (~2.0 in my first year vs ~4.0 in my final year) at a top 30 undergrad, submitting addendum. Took the LSAT four times (157 to…
…less competitive. Given the general unpredictability of splitter cycles coupled with this being the most competitive cycle in 20 years (in Spivey’s opinion), pretty happy with my results. I also worked with a Spivey consultant for the full cycle. I took the LSAT 5 times (166, 167, 166, 166, 165) because I was…
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!
If you are a splitter, apply as soon as possible. I applied in Oct but should have applied in September but was lazy. I also had subpar personal statements (if you are non-trad, focus on Why Law? and Why Now?). I shouldn’t have wasted my ED on Berk as I knew I wouldn’t get in, but it was my top choice as a Bay Area…
