i just got the rejection letter today...i knew it was a rejection because it was a dismal-looking envelope. i kinda expected it but was still surprised because i took a class at the law school last semester. oh well.
index is 5.9
Quote from: Iwanttostudylaw on February 24, 2006, 06:24:39 PMi call bull. the highest reject on lsn is a 5.6. everyone w/ a 5.9 is in, nobody is even pending. hardly anyone w/ a 5.7 or 5.8 is even pending. and you said your gpa was stronger than your lsat, uf is a gpa whore... this would give you something like a 165/3.8. people w/ those #s dont get wl at IU-B and they arent excited about Case. especially urms. those schools PAY urms w/ those #s very well to come to their school.either you got caught cheating or you dont have a 5.9
I think it may have to do with the academic action, disciplinary action that I ticked yes on by mistake. I misunderstood the question and it said mark yes if unsure. I guess I should have called them.

She concedes the following:Quote from: Iwanttostudylaw on February 23, 2006, 08:16:59 PMI think it may have to do with the academic action, disciplinary action that I ticked yes on by mistake.

actually I never said I had a higher gpa, I have a stronger lsat. Also I had academic probabtion and clicked yes for both academic probation and disciplinary action because I wasn't sure if what I went through was considered disciplinary action. I was not caught cheating at all, my first semester I got all F's due to personal reasons and dropping out and was placed on probation. I am pretty sure this had a reason to do with my rejection as well as a mistake I made on the app. My acceptances and rejections have been drast in according to what most people expect. I mean I was dinged by Hamline and accepted by Illinois. Also why would I lie? Who would even care apart from me?

Damn.

Who would even care apart from me?"My LSAT was in the middle of what they are accepting on LSN for everyone, towards the high end and my gpa is at the top too. I am in the top percentile of my school, 7%."how does that not equal a higher gpa?if you made all f's your 1st semester and are in the top 7% that will help you, not hurt youI also thought an upward grade trend would help me, so I honestly don't know what happened, that is why I started this thread in SHOCK!!!
