[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will second that for law schools, the ranking DEFINITELY matters - unless you plan to practice in the specific market.  For example, if you plan to practice in Boston, Boston College of Law is probably OK.  If you plan a practice in DC or NYC, go for ranking.  [/quote]

But that is Law school, not the college.  I know someone who went from Boise State to Stanford Law.  He had all A's at BSU, and did well on the LSATs.  Went to BSU not because it was the only school he could get into, but because it was the school he could go to without debt.

Going to an elite college is a lot like going to TJHHST:  it says something.  There are very few if any poor students, but the top kids at the local school are just as good.  The top kids at Va Tech (and by top, I mean the top 5-10%) are just as good as the top kids at MIT.

At Tech, though, only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the students graduate in 4 years; at MIT it is 92%.  Harvard 98%.

So, the graduates at Tech are closer to MIT  & Harvard than the admitted.[/quote]

Boise astat will have  one kid every decade going to Stanford law, a Harvard or the lie sends multiple kid a year.  [/quote]
