Wait, what are we discussing?

For law school, the 4.0 from OSU wins by a long shot. It would put you above every school’s 75th percentile, while 3.8 would do that for only schools outside the t10. Undergrad doesn’t matter.

For the real world (business or other competitive jobs), then Duke/NW wins.

Also, standing out at OSU is hard because there’s so many people. To get a good LOR shows a lot of industriousness on the part of the applicant, who had to do a lot to stand out in large classes as compared to smaller classes at Duke/NW.
