[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if major doesn't matter, are all GPAs deemed to be equivalent across majors? It's hard to believe that admissions committees in their right minds would consider a 3.9 in physics or computer science to be the same as a 3.9 in theater or sociology.[/quote]

They do.   Sorry.   That’s reality.  They report that’s on admitted gpa and last and they select to be high[/quote]
I don't know that I necessarily agree that it is as formulaic as this. People in hard sciences / engineering / math often don't have anywhere close to 4.0 GPAs and get into law school with high LSATs. I don't think all majors are necessarily viewed equally. [/quote]

Law school admissions officers usually also admit "splitters" -- those with High GPA, Low LSAT or vice versa.  And there are over 200 law schools in the country -- likely someone wanted them.

As for the poster above who said that it's crazy they can't distinguish a 3.9 in electrical engineering from a 3.9 in basket weaving, that's all because of US News.  You can thank them for this craziness.  Same for a kid from UPenn (or equivalent) with a 3.4 vs. a 3.9 from Liberty.
