@NaughtyTeenyWeenyPebble: Looking at last cycle's stats, 16 people logged the date of their HLS waitlist offer and 6 of those were made by 5/19 (the other 10 came later). It's a small sample, and every cycle is different, but it's entirely possible more WL offers are coming

1. Spend the time on the LSAT early, if you can hit your target score this summer it will free up lots of time for essays etc. later when things are busy

2. Depending on the schools you're looking at, being at/above LSAT median can be enough. The higher you can get your GPA, the better, but half the class is going to be at/below each median - that's how medians work

jb2028

22:52

If you're above a median (particularly LSAT median) and the other stat isn't way below, numbers alone won't keep you out. Past that point, softs/essays/recs are what gets you in.

jb2028

22:54

YMMV, it will matter what "lower than outstanding" means (3.7? 3.3?)

Can't start a fire. You can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire. Even we're just dancing in the dark. You sit around getting older. There's a joke. It's wild and it's on me. I shake this world off my shoulders. Come on, baby, the laugh's on me.
