[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't want to hear this, but where you go to undergrad matters a lot for both. That is because you need to get into an elite grad school or law school. Without that, you have very, very little chance for a viable career as either. Definitely re-evaluate your idea once you have applied to grad school or law school. If you're not in a top 5 grad program or top 5 law school, don't go down that road and waste a lot of time and money.[/quote] Undergrad doesn't matter too much. I went to a not great undergrad and went to harvard from there. I had a 3.9 and 99% lsat scores. I had slightly above average grades in law school and had plenty of big firm offers. No one seemed to care about my undergrad. Law school matters, but undergrad doesn't, so long as you distinguish yourself there. [/quote]
