Keep in mind, rumor has it many grad schools (especially the top ones) know that Berkeley is very difficult and will give you allowances and adjustments, especially if you have solid GRE/GMAT/LSAT test scores



Well, I don’t know about that. Let’s look at some data.

Seems to me, at least in the case of law/medical schools, that Berkeley undergrads are not given much compensation for their GPA. Heck, in many cases, Berkeley undergrads actually require * higher * grades and standardized test scores to get into the top law/med schools than others do. That’s right - * higher *. Even Berkeley’s own law school seems to require conspicuously high grades and test scores from its own undergrads.
