<p>"‘I really wonder how many times Yale has taken your opinion into account when deciding the incoming class.’ </p>
<p>‘That is irrelevant. The poster did not purport to be an advisor or spokesperson for Yale Law School.’"</p>
<p>The poster told someone that in his/her opinion that individual may have a chance at Yale Law School. I really wonder what’s the validity of such claim. If there isn’t any validity, then I wonder what’s the benefit of such claim. As far as I understand it, people come to CC for advice --not a pat in the back or a high-five. Maybe I am wrong.</p>
<p>"‘I disagree. 1)LSAT 2)UGPA 3) Personal Statement…these three being, more or less, equal. The remaining, if impressive, would just be icing on a good application --not decisive factors.’ </p>
<p>‘It depends on the school.’"</p>
<p>—>Hence the “more or less.” We can all agree that different schools have different preferences --where some like to see high LSAT scores, others like high UGPAs more. Nonetheless, LSAT scores, UGGPA, and personal statements are clearly the most important factors among all LS. The rest is, MORE OR LESS, brownie points.</p>
