    There's a school i got into with a full ride, unconditional. However, they put all the scholarship kids in one class on a vicious curve so it's tough to stay in good academic standing....so i think they're pulling shit where a scholarship is unconditional in name only.

      @ sure! I’d verify if you can, but I do think this is a new tactic since conditional became a dirty word

    i got a 30k out of 55k wake forest law scholarship but it says i have to remain in good standing. The curve is around 3.33 so thats a good sign right?

      I'd confirm with the school! "Good standing" usually just means not flunking out.

      Follow-up info relayed from the team!:
      Good academic standing is typically 2.0. Getting a C average is really really hard to do. Most grades are A- to B-/C+. To get a C average you’d have to likely be the worst or close to worst in every single class. Unlikely to be the case.

    So does this mean that scores will mean less in the long term if the number of people who are scoring the highest is increasing so drastically?
    Will splitters be less likely to go to law school as a result?

      It’s hard to predict how this trend will evolve. I can only speculate. Since 2020, LSAT scores have been increasing. It’s fair to say that a 171 might not carry the same weight it once did. Will this trend continue? It’s hard to say. That said, our advice remains unchanged: focus on getting the best LSAT score you can. Regardless of how schools adapt to this trend, a 170+ will always be an impressive score that opens doors to opportunities a lower score wouldn’t.

    It’s absurd to think you would want a diagnosis of a psychological condition on your record to get 15 minutes added to a test. If you want government clearance or a specific job you might get disqualified for it.

    Zvi Mowshowitz is a brilliant mind in both real life as well as in the realm of gaming. He is one of the first inductees to the Magic the Gathering Pro Tour hall of fame. Super goat in lots of realms and a inspiration personally.
