  if your numbers aren't at/near their medians i would wager it was a mass email

  I got the e-mail; I'm near their medians though, so I'm not sure if it's a mass e-mail or not.

  I did too and didn't know what to think of it since my LSAT score is quite a few points lower than Yale median requirement.

  I did read somewhere online that says schools like Yale could invite applicants whose LSAT scores are quite below their median (me in this case) only to reject them later in order to boost the selectivity rate (one of the components in ranking).

  Again, this is completely anecdotal I have no idea if it's correct as I can see the mortality/ethics argument being made there. I'm simply quoting what I read.

  @"Heart Shaped Box" @divaspeller if you guys don't mind sharing, are you URMs? I suspect I got the email because I am an URM although my stats are not really within Yale's median.

  @ahdo well, I'm Asian as you can see, and I don't think we count as URM for law school applicants. I know African American and Hispanic applicants are considered URM and there could be more but I'm not very well versed on this.
