<p>Senior’s Dad, below is a side-by-side comparison in admissions rates between Cornell, Georgetown, UC-Berkeley, Michigan and Penn. In parentathese, I provide the average GPA and LSAT score of the students admitted into the particular program from the university in question. The data seems pretty accurate, but in the case of UC-Berkeley, the data only includes students applying to Law school straight out of college whereas in the case of the other 4 universities, the figures include both students currently at those universities as well as alumni who graduated and applied after gaining work experience.</p>
