feel like cornell inherently has the portability that im talkng about tho. Like for instance i was asking this same question about wake forest before and someone said their friend who practices in philly said that the wake name does nothing for them there.
Places like Penn, which are stereotypically "splitter friendly" to the extent they avoid people likely to get into (and choose) HYSCCN over them, might go down to a 3.4 or 3.5 GPA for a high LSAT but they have plenty of high LSATs above a 3.0. What you're looking for with a 2.9 is the equivalent of Penn, but a tier lower in selectivity/ability to be picky
@Glove Really depends on the rest of your profile. Plugging a 3.26/173-180 into the LSData "chance me" tool shows 6/30 applicants in that range got into Penn.
@jb2028 But I would have to look at splitter friendly schools that not only will accept me but offer me aid too - or will I be stuck getting into a splitter friendly school with no aid?
@LamentablePuma: To be quite honest, there's a tough tradeoff between schools where you're likely to get significant $ and schools with decent biglaw placement

@GloveDontSplitUMustAcquit: Have you started the LSAT prep grind?
