<p>First, in reply to #11: I was not clear in post #7. I agree that you only need the numbers to get into Harvard. My remarks about needing something else were about Yale Law. ( I was responding to post #5.)</p>
<p>Second, one clarification. A few years ago, Harvard Law reported that over 12% of the entering class had GPAs above 4.0. Yale UG does not give A+ grades and I assume that YHS is aware of that fact. Berkeley DOES give A+ grades. So does Stanford–or at least it did as of a couple of years ago. IMO, it is not fair to compare the GPA of students admitted to YHS Law from schools with and without A+ grades. For example, I know of a recent grad of Yale Law who had a 4.0 as an undergrad at Stanford. However, he also had received a B- in one course. That would not give him a 4.0 at either Harvard or Yale College. </p>
<p>Based on the wording of post #12, the poster is comparing apples and oranges. Princeton ADMITTED data and Yale MATRICULATED data are two different things. </p>
<p>Still, I agree that it is easier to get into YHS from a top UG. (I think I said that re Yale Law in post #7. )</p>
