I had to work my arse off for my BS in Chemical Engineering. About 10 years later I didn't find law school that much of a challenge.

The content of engineering is absolutely harder than that of Med School for the majority of people. It would differ for some though
But the volume in Med School likely puts it over the top

Law school is not hard, per se, more than it's difficult because the expectation is so high. Good luck getting a good position if you aren't in the top 20%. Grades are based on how you outperform your peers, so it adds competitive rigor. There is an expectation to be able to balance a deluge all at once.
Not true, 2 of my best friends went to top 10 law schools and have jobs because they worked hard, for get internships and networked well and had great resumes.
Grades mean a lot but not everything if you are truly a well rounded and multi-faceted candidate

can't really speak for med school, but my undergrad CivE degree was considerably harder than law school

Grades mean nothing at top tier law schools due to insane grade inflation. The only thing difficult about those schools is getting in and paying tuition.
The tier 2 and 3 schools vary a lot in difficulty (LSU is known for being particularly abusive), but grades matter mightily...unless you're "diverse".

And it's also an insult to the black grads to assume (but not know) that their scores are lesser than.
Doesn't matter if they all graduate. They end up getting the same degrees (not saying that as an excuse to their perceived "weaknesses", if that were to be case).
They are there for a good reason and they usually excel jsut as well and or better than their counterparts.

For example, I thought a "GPA" wasnt published or known in any way. One would have to go and request individual class scores on their own.

They had diverse and outstanding work/resume portfolios. One played big time college baseball and then worked on the hill for a couple of years and the other had a MPA from a top school and worked for the Argentinian Govt for 2 years. 2nd guy had a "weak" LSAT (didn't break 160) but I'd hire him over a 170+ guy with no work experience and jsut high grades
He now works at a top 10 firm in this country in the northeast.

dental school....hands down, end of story

Albeit it is hard and tough, and there are many many brilliant dentist, I do know some people that couldn't cut it in med school that are now dentist.
I think an underrated professional school is pharmacy and vet school. Many of my colleagues are in these fields as well and their vast anatomy and physiology knowledge is top notch. Some of our brightest minds are in those fields

Med School without a doubt. Sure, there are many brilliant lawyers and engineers out there, but I know way too many dumb shites that are in law school or graduated in engineering. The only exception is ChemE. Those guys gotta be smart, but I wouldn't go so far to say getting a BS in ChemE is more difficult than med school.
