…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.…
…compelling, which is especially important if you are a splitter like me. Instead of blanketing the T14, target schools at which you might be a particularly good fit. Shout out to ASU, Utah, and of course, Michigan. My experience with each of their admissions offices was exceptional. I didn’t pursue any of the…
Changing my profile to public to show that there is hope for splitters! Shoot your shot! If you’re concerned about your stats, pour your heart out into those essays. Have multiple people give you honest, critical feedback - it will go a long way. Tips for essays: Take time to really reflect on why you want to go to…
…decisions for high stats applicants. Because I am a splitter, the essays were really important. I also had a complicated gpa addenda to work around. I decided to hire a consultant to help with choosing schools and essay review. For my particular case, I think it was the best choice for me. I ended up with a…
Canadian other-Asian ORM. Schools seem to like splitters less and less as cycles get more competitive. Grind for that GPA kids.
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…
…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…
…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 ** I probably should not have so hastily withdrawn from my WLs.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…

…changing it. As a Chicago-focused, debt-averse, super-splitter, WUSTL was my destiny.

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…
Get off r/lawschooladmissions!!!! Will be applying next cycle. Splitters don’t lose hope!
…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…
…the GPA), but I would absolutely advise other splitters to shoot your shots and shoot them early. I’m always happy to talk to folks and offer suggestions or advice if I can be helpful.
…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…
Apply early and be prepared to be patient as a reverse splitter. I took the LSAT twice and received the same score.
–apply early, esp. if you’re a splitter. –get those fee waivers. –get your target LSAT and then plan your cycle, rather than plan your cycle and assume your LSAT will fall in line.
