<p>Strictly, law school admissions will be tougher for the average Chicago student, as GPA’s are depressed about .1 or .2 versus other schools. On the other hand, it has been posited that the Chicago education will be a) given a ‘boost’ by the admit officers (unlikely to be very significant), or b) provide an advantage in other ways (LSAT-applicable skills, essays, etc.).</p>
<p>In any case, it’s a gamble because Chicago sadly isn’t very open with its professional school admissions data.
