Yes, they do.

Yah, it's pretty amazing that they can keep their LSAT numbers on par with Chicago (5th best among the T15) even though they have more than twice as many students. It certainly seems to come at a cost to their GPA numbers (their 75th GPA is Chicago's median), however, as they have the lowest GPAs among the T15 schools.

Berkeley, on the other hand, seems to be in the reverse position: they maintain the 5th best GPA numbers among the T15 at the cost of having the worst LSAT numbers of the pack. Of course, they also have much better rep scores than and less than half the acceptance rate of GULC, which probably accounts for a good amount of the gap between the two ranking-wise.
