[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law schools actually do take into account rigor of a particular college, as well as major, when considering an applicants GPA. My uncle worked in admissions at a top law school, and he said that engineering majors and students from colleges like Cal Tech would be accepted with lower GPAs. (Although they tended to do well on the LSATs, so there's that.) Also, students applying from Swarthmore received an automatic bump in GPA because, apparently, "anywhere else it would have been an A" has a kernel of truth to it.[/quote] This. T14 admit from below average from our ivy. 3.6-3.7 is plenty because they know how competitive ivies are[/quote] Lol. Sure Uncle Bob. I'm sure that Swarthmore bump was embedded in writing into admissions policy at the "top law school."[/quote]
