Demosthenes49, the two articles I posted were ones showing (1) statistics regarding entering classes at Harvard Law School, showing that more and more admitted students have post-college work experience (conveniently coming once Dean Minow said that post-college work experience should be emphasized), and (2) Harvard Law School’s admissions program that requires studies at Harvard College and post-college work experience.

Make whatever flippant remarks you want, but facts are facts.

GPA/LSAT may be the most important criteria in law school admissions, but they aren’t the only factors- as also evidenced by the “scattergrams” that you keep showing us, which only show that candidates with requisite GPA/LSAT numbers are more likely to be admitted than those who lack them, but that people without those numbers are also sometimes admitted, and numbers alone do not lead to automatic acceptances or rejections.
