Is law school admissions actually fair? Ethan, coordinator of 7Sage's admissions program, sits down with writing consultant and Yale Law grad Pauline to grade every part of the application against a four-part test of fairness. They rank the LSAT, GPA, resume, and essays one by one, and the results aren't pretty. Along the way: what Ethan found when he researched the backgrounds of 59 current Yale Law students, why your GPA might say more about your school's grading policy than about you, the two types of people who end up at top law schools, and the real reason "just be yourself" is both the best and worst advice in admissions. Whether you're applying this cycle or just starting to think about law school, this conversation will change how you read your own application.
