@JollyLegalMoth: 157 LSAT and 3.25 gpa as an operations mgmt major. Went out of state undergrad but from atlanta. Applied 1/31. This is the only school I applied to so I’m making it clear in my LOCI I’m all in. How long was your friend on the WL
I got IN!!!
156 LSAT and 3.9GPA. I work for one of the largest law firms in ATL and had several partners write LOR. I also applied for the part-time evening so I could work full-time. I suspect these are the main reasons I got in.
