<p>Here is a table of “average” LSAT & GPA for many Law Schools, outside of Harvard & Yale a 3.5 to 3.6 range will get you into a top school. Northwestern: 3.57, Stanford 3.67, Michigan 3.45, Chicago: 3.57, Columbia 3.64, Cornell 3.57, Duke 3.51, etc. </p>

<p>I believe Fair’s point is that if one is at the lower end of the GPA distribution for a particular law school and from an undergrad school with a reputation for rigor, one will have a better chance of acceptance than if one is not. Similarly, if one has a 3.7 and is from a school with a reputation for rigor, ones chances are enhanced.</p>
