[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are great schools but if I had a stem kid I would choose VT and then go to[b] UVA for grad business school later on. [/quote][/b]

[b]But it is more difficult to get into UVA's grad student if not an undergrad. Same

Grad schoo with the UVA law school.[/b]  [/quote]

Why do you say that?  Most grad school admissions are stat driven.[/quote]

Grad schools protect their own university. Go look up the number of UVA grad at UVA law. Or Harvard grads at Harvard. [/quote]

Schools that take rankings seriously generally take kids with the top stats (GPA and LSAT).  They can't afford not to as it will impact their ranking.

There will be a lot more applicants to UVA Law from UVA than from UCLA, for example.  Why?  Geographic preference, finances, familiarity, etc.  I would bet if they had a similarly qualified UCLA applicant vs. a UVA applicant, though, there would not be a preference for the UVA applicant.

[b]I don't see a listing of Harvard Law by undergraduate school. [/b] UVA Law does produce an annual summary of the top undergraduate schools for enrolling students.  You are right that UVA is the top school, but over 10 years, UVA has 228 to 92 for William and Mary, another in-state school with pretty high stat kids.  Given the undergraduate enrollment of UVA is 2.6X higher,  William and Mary is doing just as well on a per capita basis.  I think UVA Law is largely the most qualified (GPA and LSAT).[/quote]

Right here.  There are 147 institutions represented in the 1L at Harvard Law for 2023-2024.  The rest of the 600 in the class are most likely Harvard grads.  Harvard grads made up 35% of the entering law class when I attended.[/quote]

The 1L doesn't have counts.  You can't analyze without counts.[/quote]
