As for law school, you should realize that a school's academic reputation matters very little in the application process. The only real exceptions are HYPS, and even then, the boost that comes from having attended those schools is quite marginal. What really matters for law school are numbers. Contrary to other graduate/professional schools, the law school admissions process is very predictable. If you have an LSAT and a GPA above the medians for any given law school, then the conventional wisdom says you're a shoe in. This applies for virtually every law school in the country (Yale and perhaps Stanford being exceptions), regardless of your undergrad. A 3.8 GPA + 174 LSAT coming from Colorado State or from Dartmouth are both going to have equally good shots at law school. |
