oomis – either being really proficient in talmud predisposes one to the thinking in law school or there is a correlation between those that are really proficient at talmud and at law school. I’d probably go with both being true, with the latter point being far more important. Either way, a BTL is not adequate proof of having high proficiency in talmud.
Popa – I googled a few top schools. The NYC schools have A+ (I found an interesting NYT article in the results on the topic that i’m pretty sure my law and economics professor shared the link to as well. He wasn’t a fan of grade inflation…) Other schools, not as much. Mine: definitely not.
