Chance for Kenyon 2014 and other questions for foreign student...plz help!

<p>To be honest, I’m not sure Kenyon puts together a list on what graduates end up doing upon graduation, and even if they did it wouldn’t include those stuents who take a year or more off before going to professional or graduate school (which especially for Med school students is a very significant number). It’s common for the college to pick out a few students going into high paying jobs at the end of their senior year and do little profiles for each in an attempt to disavow the notion that a liberal arts college education only leads to graduate school or starving artist/trust fund survival status. As for Kenyon students going to the programs you mentioned, I certainly don’t keep track, but I can think of one Kenyon student a while back who went to Harvard law after Kenyon and went on to become President of the United States. I suppose it’s also worth pointing out that most law schools have entering classes of just a few hundred, and the top programs (U Chicago, Yale, Harvard, NYU, Columbia, Stanford) are only accepting students with 170+ LSATs and 3.8+ GPAs. I’ll add that most law schools consider the college you graduated from as a third factor after GPA and LSAT score because to date US News and World Report dominates law school rankings and does not have an index for the strength of colleges attended by entering freshman, and basically the US News ranking is how law school admissions offices determine their success or failure. In conclusion, there’s actually a reasonably strong case to be made that for the purpose of law school admissions an individual might be better off racking up the As at some well known, and middling educational quality, state school like a USC or Ohio State than really challenging themselves at a lesser known LAC or Ivy League school. Of course, graduate from Harvard (or for that matter Kenyon) with a 4.0, put up a 180 on the LSAT, convince law school admission offices that you’re social capable, and demonstrate diversity and you can go anywhere you like.</p>
