How reliable is LawSchool Numbers??? Forum

uhh. you either switched from correct to incorrect or you just have one more to go.

They fudge their stats so adcoms can't identify them on the site. My set of numbers, for example, would be easily identifiable if I were to post the exact numbers. I guess the worry is that adcoms won't appreciate their inner workings being posted to teh intarwebz. They only fudge by a point on the LSAT and to the nearest tenth on GPA anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal.

Other people on there are flames - these are easy to tell. The black guy with a 152 who got into Yale, the guys who has a recommendation from Stephen Hawking, etc.

Other than that, no one knows how accurate it is, but there's no reason to think that it's not.

I think my favorite was the black guy with a 120 who got into Duke. It wasn't even believable what was the point of posting it?

This brings a few things to mind for me. One, I hope Asha really wasn't reading that shameful display, and two, that really does not bode well for my personal statement .

I switched the wrong "your" the first time

Never underestimate the stupidity of the masses. People look for evidence that conforms to their worldview and if they have a worldview that the man (in this case, minorities) are trying to hold them down, they will find evidence regardless of the credibility that supports it.
