Grading Scale at Berkeley

<p>Cjue, the truth is, probably not by very much. You can glean this information yourself by looking at the GPA’s of the Berkeley students who are admitted to the top law and med schools. </p>

<p>For example, take the elite law school “troika” of Yale, Harvard, and Stanford Law Schools. Notice how the Berkeley students who are admitted to these schools hold an average GPA that is higher than the average GPA of those law schools(which you can glean from USNews, Graduate Edition). That’s right - higher. You would think that if such ‘GPA correction’ was really taking place, then Berkeley students would be getting admitted with lower grades than the average at those schools. In fact, the opposite happens - they need higher grades. </p>

<p>Nor is this a matter of simply the elite private law schools supposedly ‘discriminating’ against public school students. You can also look at the stats required of Berkeley undergrads to get into Berkeley’s * own law school*, and to UCLA law school. Again, they need a higher GPA. </p>
