[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP doesn't understand stats AT ALL. Goodness. You have NO idea how many kids from these colleges applied to HLS, what percentage of those were admitted, or their stats. In the past HLS and Yale used to post how many kids in each entering class came from which college. An astronomical percentage were "home grown," i.e., Harvard College to HLS. Also, 5 kids going to HLS from Williams (2000 undergrads) is statistically a really different story than 5 kids going to HLS from FSU (32,000 undergrads).
So, upshot, undergrad usually matters when you're talking about elite graduate institutions. There are exceptions, of course, as this is not an ironclad situation, but don't kid yourself. [/quote][/b]

Well, not only that - they didn't factor in the fact that HLS deliberates posts this list every year in some feigned attempt to show how inclusive it is - "wow! look at the 147 schools we take from!" but not acknowledging every incoming class is 560 so the remaining 420 odd students ALWAYS come primarily from Harvard Undergrad (good luck finding that figure, HLS delibately hides it), Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Cornell, etc.   Go and try to find the stats as to exactly how many Harvard undergrads are at Harvard law.  You can't.  I can because I have the HLS facebook.[/quote]
