@oldfort: What makes you think there are enough students from top tier schools? LSAT takers have had a dramatic decline. There aren’t enough good LSAT scores to go around, which is why you can watch the steady decline in LSAT medians at just about every law school over the past few years. Law schools can’t afford to care about things like ECs or undergrad name. Prospective law students slavishly follow the USNWR rankings, and those rankings care about GPA and LSAT and not any of the extra factors. Hence, law schools care about GPA and LSAT and not the extra factors.
