[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I knew was I went to GW for undergrad and law school students used to complain that the undergrad is holding back a higher ranking of the law school.[/quote]

To be fair, all law schools have a tendency to produce more than their fair share of successful alumni for the institution.  Harvard law produces more movers and shakers in world affairs (heads of state, senators, NGO), high finance, business, filmmakers, judiciary, etc... [b]than Harvard undergrad ever does[/b], to be honest. BUT that's just a function of trying to pick people when their 17 vs 23+ and at a different stage of life.  With some notable exceptions, the "tech talent" is often doing PHD work.  It doesn't mean that it rubs off on the undergrad rankings...it's just different.

I can't really imagine that UG and Professional school rankings feed off each other this way.  Princeton is doing great, for example.    [/quote]

Disagree, and you seem to have forgotten all about the leaders coming out of the Kennedy School, which offers undergrads special courses in public policy and world affairs.[/quote]
