<p>Too funny. My characterization was certainly unfair to top tier schools. However, law school is a trade school, as is B-school. They are not evaluating applicants on their ability to contribute as scholars in a field. </p>
<p>I can get into a debate with you on what a scam law school is after the first few tiers, however; that is for another thread.</p>
<p>My distinction is simply that trade schools are not concerned about accepting their own applicants because they are not interested in scholarly research or academic “cross pollination”. They are in the business of teaching someone to practice a trade and charging them for the privilege.</p>
<p>Top trade schools pursue the best students because they tend to graduate, have stellar careers, rise in major firms, and make the school look good. Denying their own top undergrads is bad business.</p>
