Demosthenes, those “scattergrams” seem to show a lot more fluidity in a lot of schools, not just Yale or Stanford.

The following “scattergrams” show lots of waitlists or rejections among applicants who meet the schools’ GPA/LSAT medians, and a pretty good number of acceptances and waitlists among applicants who don’t:

Columbia: http://columbia.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats/1415

Georgetown: http://gulc.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats/1415

UVA: http://uva.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats/1415

There are lots of others.

I’m not following why you tell people who you think are “superstars” one thing about law school admissions, and people who you think are non-“superstars” another. Why not just say the full story to everyone? I think that they can think for themselves and apply the facts to their situation.
