If most careers require grad school does where you get your 4 year degree really matter?

There's a lot to be said for being the big fish in a small pond. I ended up at a third rate undergrad for financial reasons and had no problem getting into a top grad school and top law school. Leaving undergrad I had tons of awards, glowing recommendations, and perfect grades. I don't know that my application would have been as stellar from a more competitive school.

How many other kids from your undergrad were at your top law school with you? How many of your law school classmates graduated from the undergrad of your law school?

Congrats to PP for threading the needle and getting into top law school the harder way. We have a very close relative at Yale law. They went to a different ivy for undergraduate. Over half of the YL entering class each year is from the same 20 or so elite undergrads. Most of the rest are from T25-40 types/6-15 ranked LACs. There are almost no students from colleges below the top100 and these students are either hooked demographics or truly genius.

Yale lists the 86 undergrad institutions that are represented at Yale Law School on their website. You'll see lots of non-prestigious schools listed, from Northern Arizona University to Florida International University to Southern Utah University.

That's 86 out of 204 students. 90 are from Yale, 30 odd from Harvard. Magically, that leaves your 84-odd figure because Yale, like Harvard, cherry picks the valedictorians from those other schools. That's how I got into both Harvard and Yale law schools. Both institutions brag these figures because to the unknowing it makes the schools appear less elitist. Fully one-third of my HLS class (560) were from Harvard undergrad ergo 185.

This is not because the law schools are selecting for harvard grads. It's because law schools are selecting for pretty much the same things harvard undergrad was selecting for.

THIS. Med school is similar.

Med schools also select for the same things that these very selective undergrads select for.

No, there is always institutional bias towards the university's own grads. You see it at all top law schools. HLS, Yale, Stanford Law all have a disproportionate no. of undergrads. There would be an outrage from the alums if it were otherwise.

There are professional and grad schools that disfavor their own undergrads. There's a view by many academics that you create an inbred environment if students don't move between institutions. Harvard and Yale don't subscribe to this belief, as they consider themselves superior, but many other schools do.

Harvard and Yale have a lot of talented undergrads. That's why you see them highly represented. But you aren't going to see undergrads in the bottom 30% of the Harvard and Yale classes going on to top professional programs. And it's pretty darn embarrassing to graduate from Harvard or Yale and then end up at as school like George Mason or American for law school, likely because of a poor GPA, so it's not frequently done.

The 3.6 GPA kids from ivies go to UVA Law. We know several. We know a 3.3 engineering ivy grad who is at Michigan for Law. Yes the LSAT was very high. 3.6 is bottom third at an ivy, and most still are able to crack out 168+ LSATs. At Brown 3.6 bottom 20% and they also go to good law schools just not HLS or YLS.

Is NYU law school full of NYU grads?

Is it possible that Yale law school has a lot of yale undergrads because (A) a lot of yale undergrads apply to yale law school and (B) yale undergrad shares a lot of the same admissions priorities as yale law school?

It's not just GPA.
It's also LSAT score.

Harvard and Yale both have students that had good but not great SAT scores.
Take David Hogg for example.
His SAT scores was a good 1320. He would have gotten somewhere between a 160-165 LSAT score and depending on his GPA would have gotten into maybe George Washington or American University Law School. He didn't go to law school despite everything about his trajectory pointing to it. He has a harvard degree and he's going to ride it out with that.

I worked many years in admissions at a T10 law school and a high GPA/LSAT from a state flagship type of school was not viewed as any less favorable than Ivy/Top private for undergrad. There was zero pressure on us to admit from certain schools. All the pressure was on reporting gpa/lsat percentiles.

Not according to data from every elite i looked up: the same institution is in the top 3 of grad and professional programs "first destinations"

Narrowminded view dude,success is not all $. Presuming you are ignoring law and med school which lead to huge salaries (even primary care docs get 220-400k these days).
Grad schools can lead to a job as a top innovator in tech, a new medical breakthrough, cutting edge research and development: this happens for phD in both the private sector and academia; some people value being an expert in their niche field over $.

Yale used to list the number of Yale law students attending by their undergrad school. The top 20 schools comprised 65% of the entire law school. Yale undergrad was 20% of Yale law school.

Then there was one kid from all the remaining schools...though they listed more than 86 in total.

ear after year, Yale Law School is ranked #1 in the US. (Harvard Law & Stanford Law School complete the top 3, followed by Chicago, Columbia, & NYU as the top 6 law schools in the USA.)

In 2019 (last year they tracked these stats..600 law students in total)), the undergraduate schools with the highest number of alumni then at Yale Law School were:

Yale--90 students enrolled in YLS
Harvard--59
Columbia--34
Princeton--31

Stanford--22
Dartmouth--21
Cornell--19
U Chicago--18
Brown--17
U Penn-16

UC-Berkeley--13
Georgetown--13
Duke--10

Northwestern--8
U Michigan--8
USC--8
U Virginia--7
Johns Hopkins--7

Among LACs:

Amherst--6
Swarthmore--6
Bowdoin--5
Barnard--4
Pomona--4
Wellesley--4
Williams--4

Looks like a good Top 25 list for humanities majors planning on attending law school.

I guess schools like MIT, CMU, Rice, Caltech, Hopkins have more students go into careers related to engineering, technology, medicine, math, physics etc, not as many interested in law schools.
