University of Illinois has a high admission rate because most students are not in the elite STEM/Engineering programs. Most students are in the, meh, Education and Liberal Arts programs. Two siblings went to U of I and, in their middle age, they are barely cracking $150,000 per year and will probably never reach $200,000. They lead beautiful middle class lives, but hardly "elite" (unless compared to rural Illinois or South Side of Chicago).

How many Rhodes graduates in the school’s history have attended Harvard Law School?
Likely many. It doesn’t matter where you get your undergrad. It’s all about your LSAT, GPA, and life/work experience. In fact, coming from Tennessee would boost your chances because they get fewer applications from TN than others.
Literally it does. They have a tier system. I have been on Law admission committees and spouse has been on med school committees. We went to T5-6ish school for each
Where would UVA fall in this tier system? My kid is interested in law school, but is worried about two Bs they got first year.
