So, 4.0 at Stanford but a low LSAT score of 168 would probably only get you into a 2nd tier school.

20 years ago, when I applied to law school - and I had the same mind set that i wanted to go to a top tier law school (and this was also advice given to me by lawyers) I had a 168 on the LSAT's, a 3.7 GPA from a pretty good school witha double major in Math and Finance, reccommendations coming out the ying yang, internships every year I was in school... I didn't get in to my top 4 choices... it was a different time then and a lot more competitive then (the job market sucked so people were staying in school)... but the LSAT is extremely important, not only is the GPA important but the classes you took to get that GPA and WHERE you went to school also factors in.
