I think you are missing my point, or maybe I am not making myself clear enough. If I have enough students from top tier schools with stats to fill my spots, why would I take students from lower tier schools with similar stats? The only reason for me to take students from lower tier schools would be if they have near perfect stats (4.0 and close to 180 LSAT) or in the top range of my school’s stats. I also believe once students have certain stats, some law schools also haver their UG preferences, like Harvard and Yale law schools.
