Top Law Schools

So on LSN, UVA's acceptances (excluding URMs but we won't go into that here) seem to be making a complete right angle at what one has to assume they want their medians to be. I always thought UVA had a rep for looking past the numbers. Is this a new thing that they're doing? Why are they the only school who seems to be doing it?

This is nothing new - look at their previous cycles.

trying to game the ranking system and move up out of the atrocious tie with duke and northwestern

if it makes you feel better, they wl'ed me after i send the ED. I'm 3.5/171 instate. they seemed to have looked past numbers for me.

Up until a couple weeks ago it seemed there was a direct line at the 170/3.3, and everyone higher than that got in. The WL's above those numbers, aside from one or two exceptions (if I recall correctly) are new.

Apply early!

They have the highest medians of any school outside the T6, so they can't really afford to look past the numbers too much.
