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?

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.Chris_cpb wrote: I think my favorite was the black guy with a 120 who got into Duke.
