<p>UCB- I don’t work in law school admissions (although I have friends and former colleagues who do) so fortunately , this is not my problem. But your point is well taken. However, the factors that go into making a successful law student are somewhat different from the factors that go into making someone successful selling aircraft engines or becoming a Metals and Mining analyst at an investment bank or being a successful brand manager at J&J. So fortunately- there is no monolithic assessment rubric that holds for every single profession and job in America.</p>
<p>Even the US Government has different models for CIA Analyst vs. Navy Seal vs. US Attorney to pick three roles which tend to be “elitist” in their hiring preferences. The Bolshoi ballet values different qualities than the NFL, even though both organizations have the luxury of picking from the very best of the best in highly competitive fields!!!</p>
