Something vaguely similar happened to me with LSU Law (more than a decade ago now). Didn't get in with good undergrad grades and a good LSAT. I ended up going to Georgetown Law and came back to LA with many great offers.

For law schools, I believe there's a component of school rankings that include the percentage of offered kids that actually attend. Meaning a school gets a bump if the kids that applied there actually end up going. I believe there's also a ranking metric that includes the quality of applicants that they reject.

So, they may have assumed with those scores if they offered him, he wouldn't have attended. In which case, denying gives them a "double-bump."

I always chosen to believe that's what happened to me :)
