[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Yale to liberty a real example? That’s super extreme. I feel like you could do pretty mediocre at Yale and still get into a GW. Liberty is like….I dunno what would cause that.[/quote] I almost think this is due to ideological reasons. When I attended an Ivy there was one student who graduated near the tippy top of our class that ended up at Pepperdine Law but this person was (especially for an Ivy) conservative, religious and from the west coast and could not wait to go back to that environment. It wasn't an issue of burnout or drugs--they excelled academically and did a lot of extracurriculars--but rather culture fit. [/quote] I know who you're talking about. Clerked for a very conservative SCOTUS justice. Definitely an ideology thing.[/quote]
