<p>It was posted before that Yale rejected 1/3 of those with 180/4.0’s. I’m not sure as to the source on that, but it seems to make sense. What’s the difference statistically to Yale for someone with a 4.0/180 and someone with a 3.95, 177? Statistically, both affect their interquartile range for GPA and LSAT the same (both in top quartile). And if one is seriously more well rounded than the other, its an easier admit. And if you have enough rhodes scholars, uber-volunteers, etc. applying all with 3.8+'s and 170+'s then the 4.0/180 with not much on their record becomes an easier reject.</p>
