<p>The former lied and the latter is ignorant. The data doesn’t lie. LSAT and GPA make up 95% of your admission. You can spend some time on [Law</a> School Numbers](<a href=“Recently Updated J.D. Profiles | Law School Numbers”>http://lawschoolnumbers.com/) looking at the trends and how little undergrad name or major matter. Sure, they’ll see all that other stuff, just like they see that silly little essay you have to write at the end of the LSAT. It goes in the trash along with all the other stuff they demand but don’t care about. </p>
<p>Law school admissions are actually very simple: US News ranks law schools partly by GPA and LSAT and not all that other stuff. Students decide where to attend (read: spend tuition dollars) determined largely by US News. Therefore, law schools care about GPA and LSAT and nothing else really. There are a couple exceptions like Yale, but that’s only because Yale can already grab the 175s and 3.9s. The reason they care about all undergrad but not grad GPA is that US News cares about all undergrad but not grad GPA. Further, all that talk about being holistic has to do with [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grutter_v._Bollinger]this[/url”>Grutter v. Bollinger - Wikipedia]this[/url</a>], not because they actually care about your letters of rec from your undergrad professor.</p>
<p>As for Harvard, you can plug in the numbers [url=<a href=“http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]yourself[/url”>http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]yourself[/url</a>]. The 175 will get him a look, but the 3.6 is low for them and they have other 175s to choose from.</p>
