[quote=Anonymous]Law school admissions are not a good metric by which to determine the value of undergrad degrees from particular universities. LSAT and GPA are all that matters.

By and large, in 2024 if you go to a school that's roughly ranked in the top 100 or so, your opportunities are not going to be limited by the brand name of your school. Sure, Wall Street remains a bit of an anachronism. But generally, every industry is aware that there are very talented students at all state flagships, particularly in honors programs, and that many, many stellar students have chosen "lesser" ranked schools because of the merit they offered.

When undergrad degrees cost $400,000, smart students are making very different choices today compared to 25 years ago. And most industries and Fortune 500 companies recognize that. As long as it's a top 100 school, it's all good. Only IB, and to a somewhat lesser extent consulting, remain fixated on the "traditional" 10 or so prestige schools. But real talent largely goes elsewhere anyway these days.   [/quote]
