I would not say grades are by far the most important metric for law school admissions. They are important, but LSAT is right up there as well. And of course, the undergraduate institution matters as well. You won’t get into HLS with a 4.0 from a no-name school, unless you’ve got a 175 (out of 180) on the LSAT.

But the power of the LSAT may wane, as they are removing the logic games, which was a big differentiator.

Sure, I'll concede that the LSAT is equally as important as your gpa. In my experience adcoms (just slightly) prefer high gpa's over high test score, in the case of applicants known as splitters, as the gpa can be a stronger signal of how consistently hardworking a candidate is. But my point still stands in response to the parent comment that they're extremely important
