[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A spinoff of sorts from the chasing merit thread.

Look at all the schools that are represented in Harvard’s L1 class for 23-24.

Yo[b]u don’t need a highly ranked school to get into an excellent grad program. This isn’t 80% of the class from T50’s. These schools are all over the board in ranking.

You clearly didn't go there or you would know what is wrong with your post.  There are only 147 undergrad institutions given there.  The entering class of Harvard Law is 560.  The remaining 413 come predominantly from only from the Ivies + Stanford with Harvard undergrads making up about 30% of the entire class (in my year).  So if you really want to go there you go to Harvard undergrad, then Yale, Stanford, etc.  The leftover 147 are the valedictorians or token reps to fill in the rest of the class.[/quote]

THIS. The data for ALL students not schools reveals that 30+% are from ivy/plus schools (ivies plus S, D, C, Mit) and OVER 60% are from T30unis/T15Lacs.
The same/similar is true for the rest of T14 law and the T25 med schools. Those who want a shot at being in big law/supreme court/top specialists or research/academic medicine need to target these top grad programs, which in turn preferentially pick from the top undergraduate schools. You have to be a singular superstar at the top of your T75-100 university to have a shot at these programs; you just have to be top half from the most elite undergraduate programs.
