I think you're selling yourself short. Assuming you can explain your low LSDAS GPA, that 175 means you should be looking at T-14. Maybe apply to 1 or 2 others to be safe. Maybe.
Good luck SharkWeek!
I think you're set at the lower T-14. While I don't know your cumulative GPA, it would have to be sub-2.9ish to block acceptances at Duke/UVA through GULC given your LSAT and URM status. 3.0-3.3 could get you NYU (though I see you're not applying there). Good luck man, enjoy your cycle and 'grats on the great LSAT!
It's going to be around 2.8-2.9. I'm still waiting for LSDAS to process my last transcript, but my rough calculations put it around there. Hopefully schools will take into account that my GPA over the last 4 years is 3.9, but somehow I doubt it. :D
I added to your post on Notre Dame at LSD. (I'm Alan Shore.) Anyway, I wish you the best of luck getting in, and if you get into Harvard, maybe you can give me your ND spot, since my LSAT might be a touch low! :)
Hi, I'm taking the LSAT in Dec., any good advice on how to score in the 170s?
Thanks! I do own the Powerscore bibles plus the weekend course book. So hopefully they work for me as well as they worked for you. Good luck!
On Duke! I got in today too! :)
Wow Duke! That was quick!
Wow Duke! That was quick!
=)
Looks like you're going to have a great cycle.
Hey sharkweek, When you mention that Duke required a certification letter from your first university, what specifically are you referring to? I didn't find anything on the app that specifically requested anything of the sort. Anyways, looks like you're going to have a great cycle. Cheers!
Just sent my app yesterday so was panicking about the possibility that I may have missed something. Btw, are you really a URM? I presume a lot of the information above is meant to protect yourself from ad-comms perusing through LSN, no? And what's your #1?
On Georgetown!
Congrats on GULC! You're off to a great start.
Congrats on Georgetown! I got the same note yesterday--can't believe how fast it was.
Well, you're going to have a very difficult time deciding where to go, that's for sure!
Nice job on ND! I know that you now have way more options, but I know that ND used to be your "dream." I haven't heard from them, so it looks like I'll be continuing my wonder for a couple more months!
You too. It's a great campus, I've been going up there to visit my uncle since I was 7 and love it. Looks like you're having a great cycle.
Hope I get good news by Michigan!
Damn sharkweek! You are killin this cycle! Congrats man
but i bet you won't be saying that when they accept you =]
I think you might sweep the cycle!
Thank you! I was so happy to hear I literally cried. It looks like you're totally killing it this cycle! You're gonna have so many great options. (Looks like your predictions are way off, in a good way) Where are you hoping to end up?
Not looking too shabby yourself. Sorry about that Cornell deferral, but I'm sure you'll hammer out a lot more acceptances out of this cycle. Good luck with everything!
On your great acceptances so far...Seems you were (luckily) wrong on many of your predictions! I'm a Great Lakes girl myself, so I understand the pull of the area...Michigan seems like it would be a GREAT place to be!

Congrats on Harvard. Would you go there over Michigan?
On Harvard!
On Harvard & the Darrow invite! -Polly
just curious, but I have been wondering for a while why people hide their numbers. What is the reason for that
You had quite a big day yesterday! Congratulations on all your fantastic news, and fingers crossed for Darrows for both of us!
Congratulations on Harvard!! Looks like your predictions were a bit off =)
That LSAT score is amazing. I don't understand that Cornell deferral, but the rest of your record speaks for itself. Congratulations on Harvard, buddy. Glad to see you're kicking butt :).
On all of your acceptances!!!! Tis a shame we can't "share" LSAT scores. ;)
Congrats on the big H and the Darrow invite! You're going to have a tough choice to make.
On Virginia!
on Harvard, UVA, and the Darrow invite....now, to write the essay...
So what is your LSAT secret? I would love some pointers before I take it in June.
Actually, I'm holding out for the school that I have no scholarship from, LOL. I love Columbus, and OSU is the best fit for me. They do scholarships mid-February so wish me luck! I see people are still slowly getting into ND... but even if I get in (after wetting my pants), I'm not sure that I'll be able to afford it... :-/ Even without hefty scholarships from OSU, I'll be able to afford it because I can become an Ohio resident!
No dice at ND! Oh well. I really, really, really, really wanted to go there, so it's kind of a weight off my shoulders. I know that I wouldn't have been able to afford the debt load with no scholarships! So I'm leaning even more on OSU! Let me know where you end up!!
On Chicago!
haha, good to know there are other people out there who appreciate nerd humor :D No word on the Darrow yet. I'm obsessively checking rabbit9198's profile - her numbers blow mine away, and I'll start worrying sometime after she's heard. =) Let me know if you hear anything, my mysterious friend!
Congrats Man! Hopefully I'll see you at one of the ASWs.
Congrats on the Darrow! I'm heading to NU in two weeks - anything you'd recommend I do? You seem like a good person to ask since you liked NU after your visit. Are you heading to a Michigan ASW?
I made my decision. It was tough actually finally saying so. You have kept some great options on the table, so good luck to you! Let me know where you end up!
Congrats on your cycle. How did you prep for the LSAT?
Congrats on finally making a decision! I'm 90% sure I'll be there too. See ya in A2.
Awesome! I bleed maize & blue for life, despite my law school choice! I honestly had no interest in UM law, but you will do awesome there!
Now that you've made a decision at one of my fav schools you can give me all of the details in Fall 08 when I apply. Congrats!!!!
Congratulations on an absolutely amazing cycle.
Might I ask why you didn't apply to Yale?
I have it. I gave copies of her "Tips for Recommenders" to my recommenders. As I gradually work on the different parts of my application, I read the corresponding sections of Ivey's book. All that's left for me to do is write my DS, PS, Yale 250, and optional essays. Basically, the hard part :) So what ultimately made you decide Michigan over Harvard? The idea of being debt free?
If it helps, I'm a little jealous that your taking the Darrow. Best of luck.
hey man, congrats on everything. you have any advice for putting apps together by chance?
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Oh, and what happened with Columbia? You mentioned you were applying but it's not listed.
Thank you so much! I am still on cloud nine. I imagine YOU are on cloud ten...LSAT score of 175???WOW. :) Well done!
