<p>Take it for what it’s worth. From my experience of meeting many students at my school (top 6 law), I’ve met dozens, if not hundreds, of individuals who went to colleges I’ve never heard of. Yet, they all made it to a top school.</p>
<p>In reality - it is all about your LSAT score, followed by your GPA. You can be a chemical engineering major from MIT with 3.8 GPA, but if your LSAT is 162, your application to HLS is most likely going straight to a garbage can, while that kid with 174 LSAT with a B.A. in history from Rutgers would merit a serious consideration in front of admissions committee at HLS. Fair? Perhaps not. But it is what it is.</p>
<p>One piece of advice - it is a terrible idea to treat your college as a mere stepping stone to get into a law school. Law industry isn’t very healthy now, and won’t be for a long time in future. Plenty of my classmates are jobless at the moment, despite having T6 law school credentials. What I am saying is don’t hedge 100% of your bets on law. Go to college and learn what would be useful to employers. Trust me, you will be thankful that you did.</p>
