Harvard will except a guy who graduated from Duke with a 3.8 over an Army lieutenant who graduated from SDSU with a 3.1 and commanded 100 soldiers for a year in Iraq and was wounded in action.
Well, they’ll actually include the LSAT very heavily in their calculations too.
Regarding your Army lieutenant example, assuming that the LSAT is as “ok” as his GPA, then it would seem he/she wouldn’t make a good lawyer. Why *should* Harvard accept that candidate? What does his honorable service for the country have to do with his ability to become a lawyer?
