Hi everyone! I recently scored 169 (95th percentile) on the October lsat and my GPA is 3.8. I just got an email inviting me to apply from freaking Yale of all places. I know those are good credentials, but I was barely considering applying to the bottom of T14, so I was shocked to receive even a generic email from Yale. So, do we think that they might be widening up the applicant pool this year? Maybe we’ll end up having a lucky admissions cycle. What do you guys think?

    I thought this year was expected to be narrower because of delayed applicants last year. But hey I won't make complaints if things are relaxed!

    The only thing that demonstrates interest in me as a candidate is an acceptance letter.

    App farming... normal. Helps your selectivity metric if you have a ton of apps relative to actual offers. Not to say you couldn't get in, but thats what those emails are.

    I wouldn't think anything of getting an email inviting you to apply. I scored a 162 and received an email from HLS, lol.
