[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do law schools prefer low rigor 4.0 over high rigor 3.5 GPA? Assume same LSAT and whatever else. Is it because gaming USNWR metrics is more important than academic rigor? [/quote] Because it is about form over substance. 4.0 looks good and they have proven that they can max out in a low rigor environment. While competition in law school can be cutthroat and the material to be covered voluminous it does not require math or science or other technical knowledge to understand. Rather you just need to read a lot of material quickly and retain what you read. So the 4.0 history or political science major as demonstrated the reading and retention skills needed and a high LSAT score demonstrates the ability to make the necessary logical connections.
