[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh and I both went to elite schools and I would pay extra to send my kids if they are admitted.   In my field-- law, some firms and judges (for clerkship) won't even interview if you haven't gone to an elite school.

Yes, you can do very well coming from a state school, but there is much less margin of error with respect to grades/test scores for both grad schools and jobs.

Really? I work in law and we couldn't give two shits about where you went to undergrad. It literally does not matter. Law school, and law school only.[/quote]

My Ivy League law,school had only a handful of kids from state schools, the elite colleges were overrepresented .[/quote]
HLS had 188 undergraduate schools represented by 562 1Ls. So, your statement is just BS.[/quote]

I went to a much smaller elite law school.  Look, send your kids to second or third tier schools, it doesn't bother me any.  If it makes you happy, go for it.[/quote]
Well, clearly it bothers you a little more than any, because, well...you're here. [/quote]
