[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a friend going to Harvard Law School.  They were shocked how many colleges were represented there.  Here is the list

http://www.law.harvard.edu/prospective/jd/apply/undergrads.html

Over 170 different colleges represented in the first year law school class.  Think about that 170 different colleges represented at arguably one of the premiere graduate schools in the world.!!!!

Lesson learned is for christ sake - stop obsessing over college entrance to one of 15 or so school - let alone Ivy.  Find a place where your child will thrive.  Its not over with college admissions and we all know grad school matters more these days.

But another way of looking at it is that those are only 170 schools of 564 incoming kids.  Those 170 are the valedictorians of their institution, as I was, or athlete, minority, legacy, etc.  When I attended HLS, I counted up in the facebook how many in my class were from Harvard Undergrad - over 30%!  394 of those kids are coming from the same schools and guess which ones those are???????????????[/quote]
