[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. If I were handling grad/prof school admissions, I would 100% value a mid-range GPA from one of the notoriously difficult schools (MIT, UChicago, and I’m sure there are many others) over a top GPA from a less competitive school. So a totally different set of rules applies for grad/professional school admission compared to undergrad? (Excuse the naïveté as I went to an entirely uncompetitive grad school a long time ago and my kids aren’t planning on law/med school.)

[quote=Anonymous]T14 law school admission is almost entirely based on college GPA and LSAT. Assuming T100 undergrad, as you say, then attend wherever you will get the highest college GPA.

College rank doesn't matter.[/quote][/quote]

The LSAT tells the story. Schools are intelligent enough to know that not all smart kids get to go to MIT or UChicago. They are also in the academic field, and so understand that a small college you never heard of can also have great professors who prepare their students for the next level. They may even know the professors personally.[/quote]
