[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone on the other thread said undergrad matters when applying to top programs like law schools. I posted this to show that it doesn’t. They claimed most - if not all -  students came from top undergrad schools. This is clearly not the case.

People constantly make the statement here that ranking matters for undergrad when you’re trying to get into a top grad program. It’s simply not true. [/quote]

The only reason it seems that way is because A) those who can afford to attend a "top law school" are often the same ones who could afford to attend a Top undergrad.  The kids who turned down T50 undergrads for financial reasons are likely also attending law schools that are also more affordable to them.

Med school and Law school (and most health professional programs) are solely based on high MCAT/LSAT/Scores and GPA.  The smart HS kids who went to non-T50 undergrads likely excelled at undergrad and will get into top professional programs as well.  It's just there are not as many kids from Schools ranked 100+ who will even have Harvard Law on their radar.  [/quote]
