<p>Hey, anyone can be a little innacurate!</p>
<p>Remember that the admissions committees at top law schools and medical schools probably know more about University of Chicago grading relative to its peer institutions than anyone, more than anyone at the University knows. They know because they must get close to a hundred applications a year from Chicago and from each of Harvard, Yale, Northwestern, Brown, Stanford, WashU, Hopkins, etc. By and large, the people applying from those colleges will be very similar people: similar interests, similar demographics, similar range of majors, similar range of LSATs/MCATs. With the data on their systems, the professional school admissions staff can probably push a button to run a regression of GPAs vs. major, undergraduate institution, and standardized test scores. I don’t think that “reputation” is likely to fool them for long.</p>
