I don’t agree with the OP, except for medical school. Law school and PhD admissions are much more straightforward. Law school admissions is highly dependent on standardized scores and GPA, much moreso than undergrad admissions. PhD programs are not that tough to get into either, but are much more straightforward. If you have a high GPA, high GRE, and publish in undergrad (esp. from a good school), you’re pretty much automatic everywhere. Just my experience with it. The percentages might still be low, but it’s apples and oranges between grad school and undergrad admissions.
