<p>I didn’t find it insulting but appreciate your attitude in “defending BU’s honor”. I question posters that surf forums where they have no association. I wouldn’t beat up on another college on their school’s own forum. There are “professional” posters on CC that do just that—no matter what school forum it is if “their” school is mentioned they must weigh in on the discussion. You’ll see posters associated with school X putting down school A,B, C, D–whatever—no matter what the comparison. As I always point out it is about FIT. </p>
<p>As far as Law School, LSAT scores and GPA are very much what matters although additional pieces to an applican’t’s profile can help tip the scales. If you are looking at a huge spread such as 3.0 vs. 3.6 that may be an issue at some Law Schools but students that apply to good Law Schools tend to almost all be in the 3.4 to 3.8 range so the differences are slim. If one cares about such things and is afraid of such a difference you can choose an “easy” major to boost GPA but most people considering Law School are well served to work very hard for their grades while in college since Law School is intense.</p>
