@"nicole.hopkins" got into Northwestern with significant scholarship money on a 2.9 GPA with a 170 LSAT. Top of her class going into 2L too. A killer LSAT score goes a long, long way.
... to figure out the academic and non-academic traits I would like ... well enough to describe your academic, personal, or professional achievements and ... that compare you to your academic peers are often the most ...
And what I mean by the minus thing if you weren't aware is for example, I think an A- counts as a 3.7 at most if not all schools? but LSAC counts an A- as a 3.67.
Your LSAT can do a lot. Prob the best splitter story I know is Nicole she was a sub 3.0 UGPA and a 170 LSAT and is now a very successful 2L at Northwestern. It a lot easier to be a High LSAT low GPA than the reverse as far as splitters go.
