[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law schools do care just about GPA and LSAT, but a 4.0 from a [b]top college is probably worth a bit [/b]more than a 4.0 at a lower-ranked school, absent other personal considerations.[/quote]

It's not for law school.  Go look it up.  All they care about is LSAT and GPA.  Because those are the figures they report[/quote]

R[b]ight, but if the numbers are identical, they'll favor a kid who earned the GPA at a more rigorous school.[/quote][/b]

BUT THAT ISN'T THE CHOICE IN FRONT OF THEM! There are tens of thousands of applications. They aren't looking at JUST TWO.  It isn't do we pickthis kid or that kid in isolation! It's "how do we fill this class with the highest GPAs and LSAT scores possible so we can report that to USNWR>". Don't believe me? look at the stats for last year's admission to Harvard law, my alma mater: an impossible  3.9 on a 4.0 top scale for GPA at the 75th percentile and a 176 on the LSAT.  Do you realize just how difficult that is?  They don't give a fig if you went to podunk U in Alaska.  Actually, Podunk U might work because Admissions still likes to brag about geography so Alaska could help.[/quote]
