What? Seriously, you can do better.[/quote]

Nope. Some of the posters think that Harvard Law and the like are taking T50 undergrads v. undergrads from no-name schools simply because they favor undergrads who fall into the former group. That’s not the case. T14 law schools are mostly filled with students who went to t50 undergrads because those students tend to be excellent test takers, have great GPAs & want to go on to grad school. So, they apply & get admitted to top law schools en massé.

Most kids who go to podunk nowhere college don’t care about their grades, aren’t good test takers & don’t care about going to law school. If a kid at podunk nowhere college gets a 4.0 GPA and 178 LSAT, they’re going to have excellent law school prospects. [b]No law school is going to turn them down because they happen to go to podunk nowhere college. [/quote][/b]

False, but you are OP with an axe to grind  I went to HLS.  The 173 (out of 560-570 per class cited above) were valedictorians from very very good schools. I can't remember a single student who went to a school "I've never heard of". The fact you haven't heard of most of them is bizarre.  The other 370 went to Harvard or other top schools.  1/3 of my HLS class came from Harvard undergrad.  That still leaves almost 400 schools to pick from.[/quote]
