Law Admissions: Random?
Ever wonder how the top schools really pick their law students? Places like Yale and Harvard have interesting ways of selecting future students which may surprise you. According to Dean of Admissions Asha Rangappa at Yale Law School, it's best to get your application in either very early or later since applications that arrive in the middle may get lost in the shuffle in terms of importance. The dean picks around 50 to 80 applicants who are superior and then goes on to the rest. Out of, say, 3,500 applicants, she picks 1,000 who have potential and passes them on to faculty members for the final selection. Yale relies only on "faculty readers," while other schools may have other options. If it sounds a bit subjective and random, that's because it is, but there's not really any way around it, according to the schools.
