So it's 7/9 at this point. Not a pure prerequisite, but quite close. I tend to not read too much into the whole Harvard/Yale thing though, because this is largely a function of networks and sorting mechanisms. It's not like a lawyer from Yale is THAT much better than a lawyer from the University of Michigan. Maybe that's your point.
