[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you attend a non-elite small school, do well, and have a great LSAT score, that might give you your best chance. Top law schools are recruiting at more colleges now and like to discuss how many schools their 1L classes attended. You can be the only one!

It is easier said than done to do great over close to 4 years and nail the LSAT or GRE (since most now take it too). If you don't, your options are constrained so I wouldn't choose a tiny and non-prestigious school just because it provides a great shot at T14 admission in a best case scenario. Having a 2nd great school on your resume also helps with networking and early career job placement.[/quote]

Seems to me if the “tiny” school provides a “great shot” at T14 admissions, it’s elite and prestigious, at least among the well informed who are most likely to matter, even if not as widely known as a larger school.

Also seems that such a school would be likely to have many things going for it beyond the theoretical T14 admission boost.  For example, probably it would have great academics, be more likely for a student to get involved in ECs, or be easier to get to know professors or classmates well.

Larger schools might be better for some, smaller might be better for others.  I humbly suggest high schoolers focus on figuring out what they think their own learning and activity would be most turned on (or least turned off) by and which schools match those personal preferences. [/quote]
