[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grades must be nearly perfect from day one - the median at many top schools is now 3.9.  Also - Law School is expensive,  so select undergrad accordingly.  If you don’t have $700,000 to spend on your kids education, or you want to help them avoid massive debt,  don’t go full pay private undergrad - it will not matter one bit to the law school.  They still focus primarily on GPA and LSAT, and applications are through the roof.  [/quote]

Based on data under prelaw advising available to current students, the two T10s(one ivy one not) my kids attend have students accepted to lower T14s with average to slightly above GPA at those schools(3.8), LSATs 166-170, which is also avg to slightly above for these undergrads.  Being in the top 15-20% at the school (3.96 at one, 3.90 at the other) and LSAT around 170+ is almost guaranteed T14 and many of them get into T5s. There are 2-10 students each year going to each of the T5 law schools. Professors know what it takes and advise correctly, write good recs, and there are internships through the schools to build the resume, bolstered by the fact that both of these undergrads have a top-5 law school. Law schools use GPA in the context of the undergrad; they are known to dip well below 3.9 for students from top schools/rigorous programs.[/quote]
