http://officialguide.lsac.org/OFFGUIDE/pdf/lsac6882.pdfThe official breakdown for last year's admissions are at the end. You can use the LSAC on-line book to get one of these for most colleges. Some of the top 14 schools don't give the tables.Also take into account that UT is a state school. So it will be easier to get in with Texas residency than without Texas residency. In 2004, they only accepted 20% non-residents. I thought I heard that was recently raised to 40% or so, but I am not sure if that is accurate. That would make it easier for non-residents to get accepted, and harder for residents to get accepted.

BLAST!Didn't you work out of state as well? I was under the impression that a resident who went to school out of state but otherwise retained TX residency (permanent mailing address at parents' home, etc.) would still be considered a resident if s/he returned immediately thereafter. That does suck, though, especially if they didn't give you a nonresident tuition waiver (I had the impression they gave those out fairly liberally, though).QuoteEDIT: I wonder if they use undergrad GPA/gradschool GPA/best for that matrix???I imagine those GPAs are LSAC GPAs, which would exclude graduate GPAs. Otherwise it'd be pretty meaningless to compare those grids across schools - but then, schools can present that data how they like, or omit it entirely, so I dunno.

Quote from: tonyp on July 13, 2006, 01:42:11 PMRight. I was thinking that since most nonresidents have to be significantly higher than the mean just to be admitted in the first place, they'd be proportionally more likely to get merit-based waivers.I think I remember Montauk's book saying that under the old 20% cap, TX residency was worth the equivalent of something like 2 LSAT points. That sounds vaguely familiar. It won't be as pronounced now, not to mention that all the TX residents I met/knew at PSD had higher numbers than I did.

You are correct, I have been out working for 3 years not in Texas. I think you are right about excluding graduate GPA ... too bad, that one was way better for me!
