<p>I understand exactly what you wrote, and I completely agree 100% with you on both your points. GPA/LSAT are king when it comes to admission. There is no daylight between you and I on these issues. We are as one.</p>
<p>However, what I'm saying is that you did end up talking about what you saw while you were in law school - who was successful, who got Law Review, and so forth. And while that's important, no doubt, it's not as important as getting into law school in the first place, because like I said, if we're restricting ourselves to the elite law schools, then once you get in, you're pretty much guaranteed to graduate with your law degree. Maybe you won't get Law Review, but you will at least graduate, and so obviously you're far far better off than those people who didn't get in.</p>
<p>So to expand on your two points - not only do I completely agree with your #1, I would go further and say that business majors may actually be at a competitive advantage in getting into law school. Why? Because business majors tend to have easier grading. Now obviously not all business majors are this way, but I would argue that most are. And easier grading is exactly what you want. So your point #1 is right on target. Furthermore, your point #2 is also exactly on target. Law schools care about grades, so that's what you need to give them. </p>
<p>So if you want to take 4 years worth of Physics for Poets, and your undergrad program will actually let you do that, then that may well be a cunning and sly strategy to getting into law school. It's quite sad, but that's the truth of law school admissions.</p>
