The difference between Yale and Georgetown is pretty small in terms of student quality. Me and Rayiner did the math in a thread a couple years back using the LSAT correlation data.ScottRiqui wrote:The problem is, even a Yale-worthy student can't count on beating out ~540 of his classmates at Georgetown in order to land one of the top five slots - there are just too many variables in play. Would I bet money on him being in the top 20%, or even top 15%? Possibly, but that's not an objectively better position than median at Yale.daleearnhardt123 wrote:Not trolling. Not exactly advocating that an admitted student at Yale take his chances at Georgetown, just that all of you who think GPA and LSAT have no correlation to law school performance are, in fact, morons. Ya, the 75th and the 25th at any *single* school are going to be so close so as to make predictions on class rank difficult. But even then, I guarantee you there is some correlation. And when you're talking about an LSAT that exceeds a school's 90th percentile, you better damn believe that student has a decided advantage.akg144 wrote:Obv trollin 2 the maxNYstate wrote:
What are you even talking about?
Median at Yale wouldn't even be top quarter at Georgetown. Going off memory it'd likely be worse than top 40%.
