Depends on the major.
Most are political history type majors, not many STEM majors heading that way.

Geographical, racial, economical, religious, intellectual and philosophical diversity?

Not the case at all. Most Harvard and Yale law school alums completed elite undergraduate colleges.

It’s a lower-level version of protecting against “academic inbreeding.” Guessing graduate programs don’t want to send students out into the world who’ve only studied at the same institution for years & years.

Elite professional schools love to brag about how they have students from 200 different colleges all over the US. What they don’t say is that the majority of their student bodies attended elite undergraduate schools.

Because they realize how expensive law school is, went to the cheapest college they could find & got a 4.0 GPA and 99th percentile LSAT.
