Simple question: which law schools are notorious for yield protection?

Michigan, Virginia, Penn

I know this has been discussed before, but I have to say that I disagree with Michigan. I would say that Michigan is notorious for not dropping their panties for any applicant who meets their numbers threshhold. If you are not a good fit (as they see it), they will not accept you no matter what your numbers are.

I've noticed they often drop their panties for 169's......................kinky

according to lawschoolnumbers, last year Michigan waitlisted people with 179/3.97 (a friend of mine), 179/3.79, 176/3.84, 173/3.75, 176/3.86, 173/3.8, 173/3.95, 176/3.62, 174/3.82, 177/3.74, 173/3.73, 173/4, 176/3.6, 176/3.7, 175/3.8, 172/3.94, 177/4.05, 174/3.8, 177/3.71, 175/3.6, 174/3.65, 173/3.79, 173/3.8, 174/3.75, 176/3.92, 175/3.8, 173/3.94, 173/4, 175/3.86, 173/3.91, 178/3.85, 173/4.1, 175/4.04, 176/3.85, 177/3.75, 175/4, 177/3.9, 175/3.97, 175/3.98, 178/3.8, 173/3.95, 175/3.94, 176/3.69, 178/3.71, 176/3.69, 176/4.14, 172/4. And those are only the most egregious cases.

They just weren't good enough fits for Michigan - these applicants look more like the Yale/Harvard types, and who wants THOSE types muddying the down-to-earth atmosphere of Michigan?

It's all about character, not numbers.

I bet the best way to exhibit your fit is pandering to them in a bunch of Mich-tailored essays

Boston College. Many were accepted there with LARGE scholarships after being waitlisted with above 75% #'s.
