Sure, but are they necessarily smarter than the person with the 3.7 who wasn't a system gamer?
At least at NU (and I suspect at many other schools as well) being a good system gamer is highly relevant to getting good grades in law school.
Oh yeah, no doubt, after 1L (or even including 2 electives second semester) with all the uncurved classes it can make a big difference on someone's final gpa based on what classes they pick.
The better question is probably, how did you perform during 1L year.
