HomelessCuteImpala

Does the application status date tell you date changes? I'm mildly confused cause I submitted early December.

Do you guys have any advice for an undergrad second year? I'm a history major with a 3.59 GPA on a upward trend
14:26
with a bad LSAC GPA of note because of a D I got during my freshman year
onlywinsfromhereonout
16:15
If it's just 1 D you'll be ok. Just write an addendum
onlywinsfromhereonout
16:16
Make sure the upwards trends stays that way
onlywinsfromhereonout
16:16
People have gotten in with lower GPAs
onlywinsfromhereonout
16:16
Biggest piece of advice though is absolutely crush that LSAT.

Otherwise no one can save you not even a 4.0 GPA.
13:58

What are the chances of getting into T-50 School with a Low GPA but Excellent LSAT?
