  Certainly, it happens all the time. However, I think it was a lot less common last cycle.

  Reverse splitters are successful all the time. Look at websites like LSData and LawSchoolNumbers and look at schools you are interested in. You can see what LSATs people with your GPA had and whether or not they got in. And as important as your hard stats are, your softs can be a difference maker.

  Former admissions officer here. Your success at a "reach" school will depend on numerous factors:

  (1) the enrollment needs of the school for that particular cycle,
  (2) the strength of the school's applicant pool that cycle,
  (3) how your numbers compare to the school's enrollment goals, and
  (4) your ability to offer attractive qualities to the law school community beyond your LSAT/GPA.

  I would encourage you to apply broadly and early with an application that offers a clear and persuasive narrative. Good luck!

  Well, certainly it is possible, since it is the median and not the minimum LSAT score of that particular law school (means people above as well as below that median got in).

  Being above the median certainly increases your chances, but that doesn‘t mean that being below the median makes it nearly impossible to get in...
