[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes this thread is kind of crazy, and I still think this is overthinking. I'm PP who slid into law school from a SLAC. If my kids are considering law schools, then yes, I will tell them that GPA is very important. If I felt Harvard was a better fit, I would advise them to choose Harvard - not because it has a law school but bc the undergrad experience is a good fit. Then I would advise them to pick courses with GPA in mind. Whether a university has a law school attached to it is irrelevant. Just because a significant percentage of HLS students are Harvard grads doesn't necessarily mean you'll be in that cohort. I know plenty of Harvard grads at lower ranking law schools and plenty of state U grads with HLS degrees. [/quote]

You are missing the point that if OPs son is truly interested in law then he gets a bonus position of attending any university for undergrad that has a law school, because, see above, law schools DO take an inordinately large class from its own institution, whether that be Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Brown doesn’t have one.  [/quote]
