pba: i do not have accurate aggregate grade numbers for the few people I know in top law schools. they’d have to be self-reported, and you know how that works… my personal knowledge involves my own experience with a few other friends both in applying to, and within law school.
It makes sense, all other things equal, that an lsat score has some accurate predictive tendencies for law school grades.
It makes sense, all other things equal, that an undergraduate gpa in a legit school has some accurate predictive tendencies for law school grades.
It makes no sense, that a BTL [bogus] gpa, has any accurate predictive tendencies for law school grades.
Further, the existence of a BTL, other than identifying one as part of a social group, should have no positive effect on law school grades.
If you disagree with any of those statements, my guess is that it’d be the last one, and not that strongly.
Lastly, you’d likely agree that writing strength and work ethic are the overwhelming majority of what law school grades comprise of. Both those attributes are necessarily present far more in a legit undergrad degree than in a BTL.
Therefore, 1. law schools SHOULD (all other things equal) prefer non-btl admits; and 2. other undergraduate degrees necessarily require one to develop the two crucial law school skills – work ethic and writing, thereby giving them a leg up in adjusting.
