[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably more about your familiarity with colleges than about Harvard law admissions. [/quote]
+1 OP, name the schools you’ve never heard of. DH is a HLS alum, and he went to Williams. His closest law school friends went to UNC, Michigan, Yale, Carleton, Swarthmore, and Harvard undergrad. All well known schools for those who are familiar with top colleges.[/quote]

Harvard law draws from about 174 different undergrads institutions.  Quite possible someone not familiar with all the schools on the list.  https://hls.harvard.edu/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/jdapplicants/hls-profile-and-facts/undergraduate-institutions/

Nor is this unique.  Look up any other elite law school and they will draw from around 100 colleges on up to the Harvard range, depending on size of the class.[/quote]

They have one person from the no name schools and dozens from Harvard and dozens from Yale though. [/quote]

I went to a T5 law school (then and now, according to US News) and there were 7 kids from Harvard,  no other school had more than 4, and most were the lone representative from their college.  Law schools value diversity of backgrounds more than dcum thinks they do.[/quote]

Eh. They prefer you answer the phone for a Senator for four weeks than have a job for three years. One of these requires financial help. But if you don’t seem poor, they don’t value working a real job.  They’re not as aware as they say. [/quote]
