[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]

NP here -- I went to a smaller, elite law school too.  I came from an elite northeast undergrad school, and was intrigued to find that many of my classmates went to schools that I'd never even heard of.   They were bright, interesting and hard-working, and they've been successful professionally.  On the whole, they tended to be friendlier and more down-to-earth, and -- notably for law students -- less enamored of their own voices and opinions.           [/quote]
