all are big on softs but YLS less so. just get 180 and 4.0 + decent softs and you're in. |

Date: October 29th, 2012 5:52 PM Author: mauve pit Almost all medical schools rely heavily on non-merit based factors like volunteer experience, demonstrated interest, etc. Aside from a few exceptions like WUSTL, it's one of the least merit driven areas of higher ed.

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:02 PM Author: Rose frozen location tank You are just assuming that volunteer work, interest in the medical field, etc do not qualify as merit. How do you justify this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2096387&forum_id=2#21917930) |

It proves nothing that wasn't already proven with grades and test scores. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2096387&forum_id=2#21917954) |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:08 PM Author: Rose frozen location tank To be fair, any 105 IQ'r can get a 168 but I would hardly call Georgetown's LSAT portion of their admission's decision to be not based on merit. The fact that you can construct a scenario in which a specific criteria of admission can be "scammed" does not mean it is not a merit-oriented basis of admission.

I would like to see some evidence of this. |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:15 PM Author: Rose frozen location tank If a 105'r surrenders their will to me for 3 months, I can have them getting 0-1 on LG, 1-2 on each LR and 5 on RC. If you are willing to spend enough time, LG and LR become mechanical. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2096387&forum_id=2#21918101) |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:19 PM Author: Rose frozen location tank At least agree that you can grind 0-1 on LG. Given that it is not outlandish to imagine taking an average college goer and getting them to make no more than 4 errors for each of the remaining sections on an average test.

Date: October 29th, 2012 5:56 PM Author: razzle death wish university YLS is the most meritocratic since it's almost entirely gpa/lsat, but HBS students are the most impressive. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2096387&forum_id=2#21917872) |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:07 PM Author: razzle death wish university lol. well that person would never get into HLS because his gpa is from CSU long beach. even if he got those numbers from berkeley he most likely would not get into HLS, given that its median gpa is now 3.88 and like half the students are form top 10 colleges.
this is all assuming of course that the person in the hypo is not a urm. |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:09 PM Author: Stirring nursing home generalized bond Are you implying that a "urm" will have some sort of advantage in the admissions process? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2096387&forum_id=2#21918017) |

Date: October 29th, 2012 6:21 PM Author: metal primrose becky kitty I got HLS with a 3.86 (from BIGSTATE) and a 173.
How mad are you that your 3.75 from Yale and 174 only got you CLS? |
