This is by far the most insightful nugget of admissions gold floating around the internet. You may just see my application in the next 2-3 years.

Same :) see you there !

It would be really cool to see an in depth tour of the law school uploaded to this channel, from the law library to the dining hall to a classroom. That'd be a great addition to the channel! Thanks for the video!

Agreed! It's on the list

Some folks might not have the opportunity to visit Michigan before applying so itd be awesome for there to be a law school tour!

Four readings in a single episode! An early Halloween treat.

This is so helpful!! Would you be able to do a video on the opposite type of splitter (high GPA, low LSAT)? Thank you Dean Z!

Thank you for your advice Dean Z! Hope to hear from your office soon!

As a future applicant, this is such a helpful video as a splitter myself. There were many helpful insights throughout the video, thanks Dean Z!

Dean Z, I really really appreciate all your videos. Most insightful videos I've found on KZread for my applications. I hope you're the one who ends up reading my application to UM Law for 2024!

Thank you so much, you’ve given me hope. I am a lot like the third person, I will be applying to the University of Michigan’s Law School 🎉

Hey Dean Z, this video is really helpful and I really appreciate you taking out time to share this with us! I'm curious if there have been people with 1-2 years of work experience in the splitter category (especially as an international student with no reportable GPA and a solid context) that have gotten in?

Hope Dean Z is at NYC Forum !!!

Sheesh 175 and 3.4. I would dream of those grades.

Informative video! Is there a similar video for splitters with a high GPA and a below median LSAT?

@umichlaw

8 ай бұрын

Not yet...

Surprised that the MEDIAN LSAT score is so high, 175 of 180. Wondered if there are any hot takes on changing the scale, since it has been over 30 years AND it doesn't really doesn't separate applicants as much as it used to (pre-1991)? Thoughts?

Hi Dean Z thanks for another helpful video. I noticed you were averaging the LSAT scores. Do you consider the average or only the highest when determining acceptance? Thanks!

@umichlaw

9 ай бұрын

This question will be addressed in an upcoming episode but in short, the high score carries the most weight. If you took the test 10 times, that might diminish one really high score but if you've only taken the LSAT a handful of times, the most important number is the top score. Apologies if this video created any confusion!

I thought that universitties don't take the avereages of the LSAT scores but the highest?

I would love to know the better GPA of the person who initially had the 1.8, if possible

would it be a possibility to do another video of the opposite type of splitte? Those with a high GPA and a low LSAT?

@umichlaw

Would y'all be able to make a similar episode on reverse-splitters?

I’d be really interested to hear your take on the JD Next program some schools are starting To accept.

Dean Z just recorded an episode answering this question in detail but in short, she's skeptical of JD Next and the LSAT is still the best test for applicants to take.

I'm planning on applying for law school around 2025 or 2026! I am graduating a semester late due to an academic suspension but I am managing to get my grades up again. Do you look closely at suspensions and probations?

@umichlaw

9 ай бұрын

Schools-not just Michigan, all law schools!-will definitely have questions about any suspension. The good news, however, is that you only need to include a very brief addendum to make sure that it is clear that the suspension was due solely to low grades, not for any kind of disciplinary infraction. Four sentences, at most, should cover it! Good luck-you got this!

How does Michigan feel about a score cancellation on the last test?

Dean Z is going to give a more thorough answer about this in an upcoming episode but in short, we don't care! Totally fine to cancel your last LSAT score.

Hii !! Please travel to SUNY Canton if you’re able to🥹 I’m considering your school and would love to meet you ! We don’t have law school recruiting at my school and this would be a great opportunity!!
