Boston University Fact of the Day

It says here BU School of Law ranks in the 89th percentile on the US News ratings, while the undergraduate institution is in the 78% percentile.

Both of those sound about right to me.

On the same topic: Nearly every law school uses GPA and LSAT as two of the main admission criteria. As of 1996 BU gave LSAT more weight (relative to GPA) than nearly any other institute. Does my not being a lawyer vindicate the more GPA-centric admissions departments?

(By the way, Google cares deeply about applicants' college GPA. Very few employers do (aside from deciding whether to hire recent graduates) but Google does.)
