“It’s misleading and frankly obnoxious on your part to put words in people’s mouths that we never expressed. Please quote the line where Alexandre suggested that anyone with a 3.8 would automatically get into Michigan law.”

I agree completely.

Goldenboy if your going to make unfounded accusations of “dishonesty,” please get your jollies by trolling somewhere else. Also, your post contradicts itself. First, you say that the program was criticized for “admitting under qualified Michigan undergrads.” Then you say that only the program only “admit[ted] 5-6 Michigan undergrads” per year. That is a lot of trouble to go through to admit 5 “underqualified undergrads.”

In fact, you were being dishonest in making such a claim. The only complaint against the program is that by requiring a GPA higher than the average admit, the program was guaranteed to pull up GPA (although with only 5 or 6 students, it could not pull it up much), while guaranteeing not to pull down the average LSAT score because there was no LSAT score.

Even that problem was probably more theoretical than actual. As LSAT scores do correlate with GPA, if you have an above average GPA for your school, you are likely (although certainly not guaranteed) to have an above average LSAT score for your school.
