Is UCLA friendly to lower GPA, high LSAT splitters?
WhiteMountains
23:48
To an extent. It depends how low your GPA is and how high your LSAT is
WhiteMountains
23:49
Generally, you need above a 2.5 gpa and 170 LSAT. The lower one score is, the higher the other must be
WhiteMountains
23:50
For instance, a 2.2 gpa and a 165 LSAT is highly unlikely to get you in

@lawschoolbets: Yes!
does anyone know if there has been a lot of waitlsit movement and what our chances are sine they dont rank??

Ijustwannagetinman
13:36
@DoctorSeabass: Very good I got in with a lower GPA and similar lsat

I have a 3.85 and 173 LSAT, i feel like my chances are solid however a little concerned with the rise in median UGPA UCLA has had
