<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a senior with horrible grades, majoring in Spanish, and will probably end up with a 2.5 GPA and I expect somewhere between a 165-170 in LSAT.</p>
<p>I'm sure someone out there can give me some advice on where to apply, or what I should do.</p>
<p>I've gone through some tough times which partly explain the grades, which I can write about in my Pers. Statement, but aside from that, that's all.</p>
<p>Any suggestions or advice will help. Thank you.</p>
<p>IF you get this 165-170 you would be considered a splitter. Splitter cycles are really hard to predict. the 2.5 gpa will hurt you (a lot) at many schools.</p>
<p>Hm,</p>
<p>What is a splitter, exactly? I've never heard the term before? Do you think strong recommendations as well as strong extracurriculars would help in that regard?</p>
<p>Some students have a high gpa/high lsat.</p>
<p>Some students have a low gpa/low lsat</p>
<p>A splitter is someone who either has</p>
<p>a high gpa and a low lsat or </p>
<p>a high lsat and a low gpa</p>
<p>If you scored between a 165-170 with your 2.5 gpa, you would be a high lsat/low gpa splitter.</p>
<p>I'd say take the test before you predict schools. If you end up pulling a 155 with a 2.5 you won't be a splitter, you'll just be a marginal candidate. No offense intended, but "expected" LSAT scores are generally inflated.</p>
<p>None taken. I understand what you mean, and will update this post when I've gotten my score..</p>
