<-- This is exactly the process. I've seen scatter plots of LSAT and GPA for admitted students to many law schools, and discussed the process with people in admissions. I get the comments about better processes for admitting better / more diverse / healthier / whatever students, and it's trivial to come with them, but so long as US News wags the dog, that ain't happening. Corollary: If your LSAT score is good enough, GPA is irrelevant for admissions. If your GPA is good enough, LSAT is irrelevant for admissions. Both need to be high for scholarships.
