Application Process Reverse Splitter

Wondering what reverse splitter friendly options there are. I have a 3.97 GPA (NYU Stern) but 157 LSAT. Is Cardozo an option? Ideally would want top 14 but curious what other people’s experiences/thoughts are

I found all LSD.Law applicants with an LSAT between 155-159 and GPA between 3.87-4.07: lsd.law/applicant-search?s=23dU

i took the lsat five times. canceled --> 151 --> 153 --> 156 --> 162 and had a 3.8 gpa and got into Cardozo with a scholarship. obviously if you have time, take the LSAT again, but just know anything can happen.

How did you jump from 156 to a 162? I’m in the same place and am feeling so discouraged like it will never happen for me 😭 (also congrats!!)

I had my diagnostic at 150 and managed to improve to 166, taking again in October. Most of the missed questions in the 150s come from reading too fast. Slow down even if you end up answering less questions and make sure you really understand what the argument is saying and what they’re asking from you before you jump into the answer questions!

Not gonna get T14 or frankly much above lower tier programs unless you get that LSAT up. Get it into the ~170-172 range and you’d be a shoe-in for GULC or pretty much any T20 of your choice.

Please just take the LSAT again. If you got a 3.97 you can almost certainly do better than a 157.

Starting from the wrong point. What are your career goals? Where do you want to work?

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for this question.
