CU123:

You seem to be implying that admissions to law school is an empirical formula based on LSAT/GPA. While no doubt important factors, they are not absolute.

If you look at my first post in this thread, I mentioned scattegrams based on LSAT/GPA and how there was a “strong correlation” between stats and decisions, but also exceptions. For example, I mentioned most abnormally low stat admits were usually URMs, and a good portion of abnormally high stat waitlists were internationals. I’m sure there are also outliers for other reasons. For example, some law schools like to admit a class with a wide variety of unique backgrounds and experiences. However, the scattergrams did not suggest that students with similar stats and URM/international status who attended “elite” colleges for undergrad had a higher admit rate than students who attended non-elite colleges for undegrads, as suggested by the original post.
