[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about law, but I know medicine. OP's statement is misleading.  If you go to a 3rd tier school because this is all you could do with a 1200 SAT, easy high school classes, and mediocre grades, you will not get into med school.  If you go to Univ of DE as a valedictorian with 1550 SAT because your parents didn't want to pay for Yale, although you got into Yale, then you have a high probability to be admitted.  Also do not look at the older generation for admissions. My FIL and my H are cardiologists and our DS1 is in med school.  DC1 had to work 3 times harder than his dad to get admitted.  My FIL waltzed into med school. [/quote]

Your stories are a lot more misleading than OPs. The 1200 SAT, third tier school student will get into a top med/law school if they take college seriously and have a high undergrad GPA and prep for and get high scores on MCAT/LSAT[/quote]

Someone who scores 1200 on SAT will not have a high MCAT score, sorry. There is a positive correlation between the SAT and MCAT. There's also a correlation between the Reading Comprehension of the SAT and the MCAT CARS, so having a high Math SAT score is not enough. [/quote]

This.   (Sure! Some rando could have a 1200 SAT and then kill it on the MCAT – that’s just really unusual. but if that’s your situation – go for it.)[/quote]
