Rage, I don't want to muddy up this thread over this subject. I know you're smart enough to know that Harvard/Yale law's end goal is to prepare you for one giant test and to make you the best at what you do afterwards. What's crazy are a lot of these programs turn out some of the best of the best. Crazy, I know. They also have extensive admission requirements like you listed, so they don't have to deal with a bunch of rubes in their programs.
