[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have said it before, will say it again: top Law School admissions process is now like top undergrad process. Outstanding grades and test score are now the table stakes you need to even earn consideration, you need some kind of distinguishing characteristics on top of that to get in

People coming in here and saying, I had a 3.8 and 175 and got into Yale, numbers are all that matters, sound as out of date and misinformed as the grandparents who say a kid with a 1400 SAT should go to Princeton just like they did [/quote]

DC '24 has 3 friends from their ivy headed to law school this fall after a gap year. All had 171+, all had at least 3.8 but none were "top10%" in their department recognitions. Going to UVA, Chicago and Penn for law, and all got in to at least one other T14. Another is going to Harvard fall 26 (ED/junior deferral, got in summer 2023, is a 3.95 top kid, got BSE in '24 and is working at a startup for 2 yrs). DC is going to a top ivy med school after doing a 4+1 (undergrad, MPH) and knows other '24 classmates starting a top med program this fall or already started right after the bachelors. There are multiple who went to phD straight from undergrad and are at Ivies, GT, Michigan, MIT for physics, engineering, math. Everyone on DCUM says undergrad doesn't matter but from the perspective as a parent with an ivy kid, they all seem to go on to great programs. [/quote]
