[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think your kid will get a graduate degree, is a top college really that important?[/quote] You have way more margin for error coming from HYPS. At least for law school, admission to a T5/10/14 with average grades is fairly doable if your LSAT scores are strong enough. Whereas coming from a non top-tier (whatever that means) undergrad, you may need to finish in the top 1/5/10 percent of your class.[/quote] I don’t think this is still true. As colleges have become more democratic in their admissions, so have grad schools.[/quote] Have you or your relatives applied to law school lately? Not sure if one can get into a top law school with middling grades from Harvard or the like but you sure need to be in the top 10 percent of your class if you went to another college. And your LSATs had better be great, regardless of where you go.[/quote]
