Club 170 Forum

[mrmangs]

Also, 170 (and semi-splitter) love from Duke today, ending my cycle. Good luck to everyone else, I think I'm gonna put my feet up and have a beer.

Congrats! Glad it worked out for you in the end.

Just received a voicemail from UPenn. Accepted!

[Law Sauce]

major congrats

[khodorko]

Thank you! I'm pretty excited, Penn was definitely on my short list.

By the way, I can no longer edit the spreadsheet in google docs, it only allows me to view it

Rejected from Berkeley today. And here's where my UGPA comes to bite me in the arse.

Same here at Berkeley, UGPA is not doing me any favors.

[khodorko]

When did you guys submit for Berkeley?

Dinged at Texas today. Semi-expected.

Here's an article that helps explain how different a 169 is from a 170: http://deadspin.com/5747728/why-there-a ... it-matters

Yes, I just found this. I'm joining the club!

This 170er got held at Northwestern last week and accepted at Notre Dame, which made me happy.

Hey all, long time stalker of TLS, just joined.

Stats are 170/3.8.

So far, in at UCLA with 75k. Applied 1/10, response via phonecall from Dean Schwartz 1/24.

I'm really getting my hopes up for Berkeley, though. UR 1/10, no word. Should I be worried that I haven't received a CR or FR? Thanks!

Hmmm, word in the Berkeley forum, based on research on previous years, is that that is not a great sign. But i didn't do this research myself and I don't know whether it's necessarily indicative. If you applied late (like, around the same time as UCLA), maybe they just haven't gotten to you yet.

I had a feeling this did not bode well for me!
Thanks, though!

And yes, I did apply late. Same time as UCLA (around 1/08-1/10).

+1. The best thing a splitter can do is to pick a top school and ED.

I wish I had the foresight to ED at NU because people with worse numbers than me got accepted and I got denied.

Great!

I think it would take 3-5 LSAT points to make my cycle better than it is now, and I know I was not going to get that. 171/172 maybe. I no longer feel bad for maybe missing those 2-3 questions.
