And FWIW, applicant volume seems similar - 1944 people logged Columbia applications here last cycle, 2041 have done so this cycle

That is an INSANE stat

~25-33% of Columbia applicants (I bet this generalizes to t14 applications in general) log their applications on lsd.law
21:10
For sure, this site is a fantastic resource

If a school has a first deposit deadline of May 1, is it a bad idea to wait until around then, like April 30 or May 1 or May 2, to send a LOCI?
In other words, should we be sending them already, or have already sent them?
21:36
a lot of people say you should send a LOCI around the deposit deadlines
21:38
the idea is that it would keep you fresh in their mind as they consider waitlists and stuff. i think someone here said they recently got off a waitlist very quickly and they attributed that to writing a LOCI early
21:41
so i guess around or before the deadline. i think as long as you get the file in and processed by the time they would start actually reviewing waitlisted candidates, it should be fine
Sounds sensible. Thx.

If im a hard stem major, e.g. neuroscience, at a T20, is a 3.83 gpa good enough for T14
Yes but not because you’re stem that doesn’t really help that much

T20 helps more

But 3.83 is good enough for T6 as long as you get a good lsat
Undergrad prestige doesn’t matter, even for HYS
22:12
^ye
22:15
Plenty HYPSM grads rejected at HYS, and a lot of people from “normal” schools at YLS ASP. Doesn’t matter. What you do with your undergrad/work experience afterward matter

some of the t14 list the lowest GPA of their entering class on the class profile in their websites
22:20
what t14 are most super splitter friendly (3.4-3.55GPA)
22:23
i think i've heard people say Duke, Penn, UMich, and Northwestern.
22:23
any $?
22:26
I'm actually not sure, you can look at 509 reports to see how many in a given student body receive $ and then go from there. if you're a super splitter looking for an affordable education I would def look into WashU
22:26
sorry if that's redundant
22:27
iirc some schools actually do not offer any merit aid and will go entirely based off need
22:28
ik HYS is aid only, any others?
22:45
Just HY
