[quote=Anonymous]I used to read admissions files for a top 20 law school. We got stacks of equal index, which was formula based solely on lsat and gpa. We got,say, 20 files and were told, pick 10 if it was a high index or pick 2 if it was a lower index. There were three of us reading the same stacks. If two people picked the same candidates, they got in. Obviously chances were higher the higher the index. But the point remains, if you shine brightly and happen to appeal to two out of three strangers- who are also judging you against 19 other random people who only share your index-then you will get in. My point, gpa, rigor, sat- all of this is a function and there is inherent randomness. I don’t know how uva works but I would say work really hard at all if it. Don’t undercut essays. I still remember an essay someone wrote about their shoes. [/quote]
