…don’t have a lot of value if you’re a traditional non-splitter (imo), but if you have something “different” or “wrong” with your app (super splitter, C&F, non-traditional, etc.), you should absolutely speak to someone well-versed in this. A stress-reduced application process is almost 50% of what you pay for lol,…

…UCLA and Michigan, but it didn’t shake out this way. Splitters, I cannot emphasize this enough: Now that WashU is no longer auto-admitting folks above at least one median, it is IMPERATIVE that you get as high of a GPA in undergrad as you can, and score as high on the LSAT as you can, to preserve your odds at a T14.…
Especially if you are a splitter or reverse splitter, I highly recommend applying across the board and pouring a lot of energy into your written materials. Craft your application story to an experience you had - whether it be a job, internship, campus organization, etc. - and parlay that into your interest in law at…
Softs 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…
…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…
…statements were my diversity statement *reverse super splitter for all applications (except ASU)
…cycles and may change in the future). If you are a splitter, apply early and broadly. Make sure you write all of the optional essays. A cohesive ‘Why Law’ narrative is critical in your written materials if you are a non-traditional applicant. Have friends/family/current law students read your essays to make sure it…
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.

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…
…— studied a lot for the LSAT bc knew I was going to be a splitter. I have three takes total, the first two were 16low. It took me like a month to learn the material/concepts and then many many months to become consistent such that I could perform under pressure. I got extremely lucky with the test form tbh. It…
…this process hurt twice as much. Also, if you’re a reverse splitter like me, those softs can be the world. I seriously believe I performed the way I did because of them, because my LSAT sure wasn’t doing any favors lol
…you should be taking every advantage that you can get. For splitters especially, your written materials need to be exceptional. Your LSAT may open the door, but it’s up to your written materials to convince admissions why they should take you over applicants that either boost both medians or other candidates with…
…I was unsure how my cycle would turn out as a reverse splitter. My cycle is proof that the LSAT isn’t everything! My practice tests were in the 167-173 range. My first test in June 2023 was a 159, and my second was Sept. 2023 161. Don’t know why the real ones were so different, but it ended up not mattering all that…
splitters beware: apply early! i don’t think i ever had a great shot at columbia/nyu/ucla/usc, but i snuck into one of them with a good narrative and a good “why me / why now”. but don’t listen to the people who say 173 is competitive everywhere. it’s not. the earlier you apply, the more you can get away with…
