Law schools are largely driven by LSAT and GPA (used by USNWR rankings), so I'd argue undergraduate schools don't make that much difference.

If you are going to factor undergraduate schools,[b] the list adjusted for size of student body would probably be much more meaningful if you are looking at increasing individual odds[/b].

Exactly; thank you.

And re GPA -- if you're an engineer, your undergrad GPA can be a little lower and still yield T6 acceptances.      [/quote]

How common is it for engineering undergrads to decide on law school?  In a class if 200 law students...how many would be engineers or other stem degrees?[/quote]

A dozen tops.  [/quote]
+1. Less than 3% of attorneys are patent attorneys, so maybe 8-10 STEM majors in a typical class of 200. [/quote]
