[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it be extremely competitive to get into a top law school from a T10? It's like attending a very rigorous IB/Magnet program in HS. It's a fantastic program, but when the admissions cycle arrives, a pool of 50+ almost equally talented students from the same school are applying to the same colleges. There is no way any school is going to accept more than a couple from that program. 
Leaving Harvard, Yale, and Stanford out of the discussion, since they have a large number of undergraduates feeding into the top law schools.  [/quote]

Yale used to provide a detailed listing of the number of kids by undergrad attending Yale law school (I think they stopped this in 2022).

Yes, Yale undergrad was literally like 25% of Yale law school (so like 150 kids)...but I remember seeing that UPenn had like 20 kids attending...Williams like 8.

At 600 total students, I think Yale is on the small side?[/quote]
Why does Yale have such a heavy preference for their undergrads?[/quote]

It's not just Yale law.  I went to HLS and I think around 200 (out of 500 students) went to Harvard or Yale for college.[/quote]

You’re either exaggerating or misremembering or old AF because this has never been true so far as I know, and it’s certainly not true today.  The current 1L class at Harvard has graduates of 146 undergraduate schools.  It’s not 40 percent from Harvard or Yale and 60
percent from 144 other schools.  We can be pretty sure of that.  [/quote]
