UM: Law School

The Above the Law blog urges UM Law School to “stop the insanity.” Apparently, the school’s new Wolverine Scholars Program allows applicants to circumvent the LSAT if their GPA is high enough – which means those LSAT scores don’t factor in to the U.S. News & World Report’s law school rankings. “For a Michigan college student with a 3.8, the Wolverine Scholars Program looks like an interesting example of game theory. But for the rest of us it looks a straight bribe. It’s like Michigan Law School is saying: ‘Please, please, please don’t take the LSAT. Because if you get a 167 we probably have to accept you anyway. And if you get a 175 you will better deal us for a lobster dinner.’” [Source]
