  Is your LSAT and GPA above the 50 percentile median? If so, you will probably get in.
  Is your LSAT and GPA below the 50 percentile median? If so, it will be hard to get admitted directly and you are more likely to get waitlisted if not denied.
  Is either one of your LSAT or GPA above the 50 percentile median but the other is not? Then you are a splitter and you will likely be competitive but exact odds are hard to state.

  Hope that helps.

  @EagerestBeaver touches on this, but splitters especially may come down to the other factors on the application. Work history, essays, diversity factors, ect. will matter a lot more for splitters.

  From personal experience and what I've read from other applicants, take the predictor results with a grain of salt this cycle. For me personally, it was on point for a couple of my schools but pretty off for a handful of them. I would say it's generally a useful tool to see where you place, but don't rely on it to give you a sure answer of where you do/ don't have a chance. Some people have gotten rejected/ WL from safeties this cycle where their projected chance was 90%+ and others have gotten in at low percentages like 6% or 13%. All I can say is, law school decisions are pretty arbitrary to a degree so shoot your shot but also cast a wider net of safeties this year imo. This is just an odd cycle so don't rely too heavily on this tool
