I can’t seem to find but there is a site with acceptance rates. In addition to the above, a lot of the top SLACs have excellent admission rates to the top law schools, Amherst, Williams, etc.

And to the pp who mentioned “mediocre university,” “tough on the ego,” and “bragging tough for parents,” I am truly sad that college choice and self-esteem are so intertwined for you. I highly recommend Where You Go is Not Who You’ll Be.

It’s mostly GPA, LSAT, and being older (can’t emphasize this enough) Also bringing some kind of diversity, even that just means you’re applying from rural Mississippi. There’s still a holistic view of the applicant even though they want the high stats. High stats just aren’t enough - just like top undergrad schools.

22:27 Gives a good formula for acceptance at an elite law school. The mediocre university might be tough on the ego for four years and will make bragging tough for parents but will get your student into any law school as long as the student can perform acedemically and on the LSAT.

Not hard to crack if you are a decent student, don't have to be a a high achiever or genius. Any mediocre school where it is easy to get high GPA and rank, instead of struggling at top competitive schools. Be active at college's student organizations. Go to a mediocre country for semester abroad and write thesis on flaws in their legal system. Take a gap year to take LSAT prep courses and paralegal work.

Grades and LSAT matter most. I went to community college and a very mediocre state university and had no trouble getting into top law schools. In my opinion the undergraduate college matters much more to the parent than the admissions dean at a given law school.
