[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister got into basically all the best law schools (Harvard, Stanford).  She went to a state school, had good grades, did student government and debate, nailed her LSAT (over 170), and worked legal and government internships during the summers.

You can 100% go to a state school and get into a top law school.[/quote]

The process has changed a lot. A 170 is no longer “ nailing it” and it is difficult to get a clerkship or good job out  of a state law school unless its UVA or UCLA.[/quote]

This person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The median LSAT at Harvard and Yale was 173 last year and it drops from there. https://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/

Also, Michigan, Berkeley, and Texas are all state law schools in the top 15 (with Michigan and Berkeley ranked higher than UCLA) and have excellent results for clerkships and jobs. Even though that’s not what PP was referring to — PP was saying students from state undergraduate schools can be admitted to top law schools, which is true.
