[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just came across this but you are a fool if you think that current and past Harvard, Yale and Stanford law school students are not from HYP, lesser Ivies, Yale, Seven Sisters, Little Ivies, Duke, Georgetown. HBS, HLS and other elite grad programs take one third of the class from such schools. If you think you are going to get into those schools with your 3.8 from UMD or other state school you are delusional.  [/quote]

I had a 3.75 GPA from University of Vermont.  175 LSAT.  Got in.  Im white.  No hooks.  And no you dickhead - not delusional.[/quote]
 
 Jackass, please tell us how many other people from your school were from UV. Then tell us how many were from HYP and Stanford. [/quote]

Missing the point... of course you have to be a good student.  But I wasnt the valedictorian of Vermont.  And there were lots of people from lots of different schools.  Including STATE SCLS.  Look at the list.  [/quote]

I am not saying that you can't get in coming from a state school. What I am saying is that the more qualified applicants are from the Ivies and other leading privates. HLS will always market several state school acceptees to give applicants from lesser schools a bit of hope but the reality is what is stated -- Most students will come from the top schools (Ivies, little Ivies, top privates and top publics). Also, to get in from a state school you need near perfect scores. You don't need perfect scores to get in from the Ivies.

Just read the article below. My favorite quote: "A former roommate told the magazine GQ recently that Cruz preferred to study only with graduates of Harvard, Princeton, or Yale, dismissing the rest as “the minor Ivies.”The five-member study group included one member, Jeff Hinck, who attended Northwestern."
