[quote=Anonymous]I am a lawyer. Have two kids at prestigious/ivy league undergrads. I asked two law school consultants the question about undergrad and both said does not make a difference. I have to believe a top undergrad makes a difference in a close-ish call. But it would have to be close. There just has to be value in saying we have another undergrad from Cornell versus Davidson (a really good school). I did debate in high school and college as did my kids. Debaters nearly always got into top colleges (from high schools) and into top law schools (from colleges). The question is/was is it correlation or causation? Can't really answer. Similarly, all the ivies listed above at Yale law--is it causation or correlation? Are those folks really smart and got into Yale as a result? Or they got in partially because they are at top schools. My gut tells me generally not causation but correlation except in close calls. [/quote]
