[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know HLS grads who went to Harvard undergrad. And I know HLS grads who went to undergrad at TCU and UK (as in, the University of Kentucky) and SCU. Oh, and Lake Forest College, though he was old (and kind of a jerk TBH).

There is a continuum. If your undergrad is in the top 100 ish, or is your state flagship, you are in good shape as far as undergrad institution. You don't need a top 30. You do need a high GPA.[/quote]

If someone theoretically had a perfect GPA & LSAT and was at an undergrad ranked #300, I’m sure they’d have good law school options. [/quote]

But not Harvard. And major would matter, too. A dance major from App State with a 4.0 is not going to Harvard Law.[/quote]

Yes they are if they have a 179 LSAT. [/quote]

No really, it’s not that simple. This is one of the big lies repeated on this board.  They have a chance, yes.  But stop telling people that a high lsat is all you need. Maybe this was true 20 or 40 years ago but it is absolutely not the case now.

I know a dual math and history major with a 4.0 in each degree, stellar recs, internships, ECs, leadership positions, and awards with a 175 who didn’t break top 10.

Something is very wrong with this story. And no I am not relying on dated information about admissions. [/quote]

Agree… maybe they were lying about the 175? I would not be surprised if Yale and/or Stanford rejected them because of their small class size and selectivity but I would expect they’d get into a least one if not more of the bigger schools in the top 10. [/quote]

I’d expect multiple schools in the t10 with a 4.0/175[/quote]
