[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for medical school but I can for law school.  I am an attorney with two high school seniors.  I asked law school counselors about placement from colleges and they said it doesn't make a difference where you go--it is GPA and LSAT.  Ivy level, Amherst, Williams, etc. do well because they are smart.  See other thread on this.  [/quote]

I’ve heard this before and I’m not saying you’re wrong but it always strikes me as odd. I’ve had kids in five different colleges across the range of (perceived) excellence. The kids in the local not-flagship, uncompetitive enrollment schools do very little work for easy A’s while the ones at the harder schools work their butts off for A’s. It isn’t even close in terms of the amount of work demanded and the quality produced. [b]Just amazes me that law schools think a Swarthmore A is the same as a Salisbury A.[/b] Yes, LSAT probably reveals some of that but not necessarily. [/quote]

Of course the top law schools don't look at them the same way.
