The Table above shows the GPA adjustment for Boalt’s admission. Essentially, the higher the “rank” the more bonus is added to the GPA for admissions evaluation. So according to Berkeley’s own law school, getting a 3.5 at an Ivy undergrad is more of difficult than getting a 3.5 at Berkeley undergrad, and thus the Ivy applicant would have the advantage, ceteris paribus. In other words, accordign to Boalt’s admissions policy (1997), there is actually grade deflation at Ivies and no grade deflation at Berkeley.
