I am talking about Harvard, not Columbia.
Please tell us just what your information is that Harvard grads cannot get Biglaw jobs or their equivalent in prestige.
(And yes, equivalent in prestige is functionally the same thing, since the qualifications are the same or higher.)
Pashut Yid: It is indeed astounding, but it is nevertheless true. Law schools are mainly interested in putting out a quality graduate, and they recognize that LSAT is the single largest factor.
