[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GMU was a commuter school in the late 90s/early 2000s when I was in college.  Maybe it's changed much more recently, but that reputation is not as old as I am.  It's a really good school for public policy, if you want to get into an intelligence agency, and several other programs.  It's not on a top-tier or highly selective school.

GMU's law school is very inconsistent.  Outside a spike in rankings quite a while ago, it's not considered a top school from which BigLaw recruits.  It's not bad and has many great connections into the federal government, but it's not like going to UVA or W&M Law.  Some DC branches will recruit from it as a "local" school, but #40 in law is quite different than #40 nationally for undergrad.[/quote]

For some reason, only the top 12 or so matter for law school. Law is the profession where your school matters the most, and forever after you graduate. It is pretty bizarre but that's the industry. Top 40 might as well be top 200, really.[/quote]
