    Anyone have any stories for URM with amazing LSATs and Low gpas i.e. splitters?

    Also, check out these in/out/results threads from the last few URM cycles on TLS. It's a little more in depth than LSN.

    I don't have any stories except for last cycle a URM (forgot what kind of URM) got into Stanford with a 160 and a 3.4, it was a far reach indeed but it happened.

    You can check lawschoolnumbers as well to just check around for URMs and their numbers.

    Wow. Seriously?! If that's so, i can practically taste HYS!

    haha. I know what you mean. Prime example of how unpredictable URM admissions can be. When it comes to URM admissions, literally anything can happen.

    Thanks for sharing! Is this a summer gig? Would you apply at the beginning of the year after applying to law school or would you wait until you've officially been given an offer from a school?

    Yeah, it takes place during the summer before you start law school. You apply while you are applying to law school (The application just went live for this cycle). They require the same documents as a law school app. After applying, they conduct interviews. You receive an offer/denial after sending in your seat deposit. From what I've gathered, they are prestige whores. The better the school, the more likely you will receive an offer.

    There's tons of URM splitters on mylsn.info. I see a few 3.6 and lower gpas who snagged HLS with 164+ LSATs. There's also a ton of URMs with 3.3/3.4s who have got CCN with LSATs in the same range. For what it's worth, I will say that many of the AA splitters seemed to have attended great UG institutions. I wonder how much of an effect that has on admissions.... Probably a decent amount.
