<p>True, but law schools know which schools have grade inflation or deflation. In fact, they have an index which adjusts the GPAs of different schools accordingly. Swarthmore is notorious for grade deflation, which is a great advantage to its students who can maintain a decent GPA. Thus, Swarthmore has very strong law placement for those who can survive (or thrive) there.</p>
<p>Unlike some other top ten (research) universities, Chicago has not succumbed to grade inflation as much, so a good GPA from Chicago is very well-regarded too by law schools.</p>
