I’d love to see evidence (other than in Legally Blond) that law schools don’t care about basketweaving vs. philosophy.
Although on CC it’s fashionable to claim that law schools are neutral on which college, major, rigor, etc. that doesn’t necessarily jive with reality.
The only actual data I have ever seen was “back in the day” when MIT used to post the law school (and med school, I think) results for their undergrads. It was surprising to see just how low an MIT GPA could go and still get into top law and med programs. Yes, there are “splitters” in the law school community, so a tippy top LSAT score does carry the day in many cases. But it does suggest that law school admissions committees aren’t accepting the A+ kids in basketweaving over the B+ kids in chemical engineering, assuming everyone is within the acceptable LSAT range.
Anyone have actual, national data on this? Besides the fictional Elle Wood???
