<p>it was high 70’s, low 80’s here in southern california today and on christmas</p>
<p>dont know how you can argue with that</p>
<p>Yay for Stanford: currently 91 Stanford undergrads go to Harvard Law.</p>
<p>That’s the third highest, just behind Harvard and Yale and it’s remarkable considering the distance. Pretty much all law schools have most students from colleges located in the same region.</p>
<p>How many Stanford grads stay at Stanford for Law School? Isn’t Stanford only 3rd in the nation in regards to Law Schools. And Harvard is second. I would put Yale first.</p>
<p>“Isn’t Stanford only 3rd in the nation”</p>
<p>we’re ONLY 3rd…thats just unacceptable. out of all the universities in the united states of america and we’re ONLY 3rd. ahhhh, we should go hang ourselves outside the law school.</p>
<p>there’s such a huge difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd too.</p>
<p>Well, if it was between UCLA and Cornell, I’d say it’s pretty much even. Personally, if I had to pay twice as much money for Cornell–assuming you are a Californian resident–than for UCLA, I’d stay at UCLA, but that’s just me. Weighing in the money factor and the fact that it’s mostly about GPA for law school admissions, not necessarily the school, I’d pick UCLA. Also aren’t UCLA’s departments really quite good?</p>
<p>Regarding Stanford’s admissions for transfer students, I really have no idea.</p>
<p>Tuition is $6,500 for UCLA and $31,000 for Cornell.</p>
<p>Wow, way more than twice then. Is that only tuition? No living expenses? Ok, I’d definitely pick UCLA.</p>
<p>And c’mon. UCLA is pretty highly regarded and a GPA of 3.88 is damned good. There is no need to transfer.</p>
<p>That’s only tuition. Estimated living expenses are $14,000 at UCLA and $12,000 at Cornell, so the total difference is still about $23,000 per year.</p>
<p>Don’t risk killing your GPA by going to Cornell. You’re already familiar with UCLA’s quarter system and have a top-notch GPA. Maintain your 3.9 and you’ll get into good law schools, while saving approximately $50,000.</p>
<p>Yeah, that $50,000 will come in handy when you need to pay $160,000 for law school tuition alone.</p>
<p>I dont know how good those law school stats are. From what I have heard, undergraduate institutions matter quite little (relative to any other grad or professional programs) for law school. So if that’s what you are concerned about, just stay at UCLA and save money.</p>
<p>i would say that if you like UCLA, stay at UCLA.</p>
<p>Go wherever you want to be.</p>
<p>Dont worry about maticulation stats and worry about simply standing out at your own university.</p>
<p>Stanford only accepted 40 transfer students last year – about 4.5% acceptance, so it was much more difficult to transfer to than Cornell.</p>
<p>um sam lee, how big is LSA (equivalent to arts/sciences at UCLA) and arts/sciences at Cornell?</p>
<p>Cornell Arts/Sciences is 1,000 students in the graduating class where for UCLA that may be 3,000-4,000 students. Most of the students applying to law school come from an arts/sciences school, not an engineering program or architecture school, hotel school, etc.</p>
<p>I transferred from Cornell to Stanford back in the 70’s, and went to law school later. </p>
<p>The LSDAS reports your GPA separately for each institution attended. They also provide the median LSAT score and GPA for undergraduates from that school applying to law school.</p>
<p>I doubt that transferring will appreciably affect your chances at law school. Your LSAT score will be the single most important factor in your law school applications, but if your LSAT score is sufficiently high, a 3.88 gpa from UCLA will be enough to put you in the running any every law school in the country.</p>
<p>Which college in Cornell did you apply too</p>
