Does the undergraduate school matter?

On the contrary, students applying from the top tier can afford to score couple points lower than your typical state-school applicant, and still have a better chance at a top law school.



I don’t know about that, the data seems to indicate that this isn’t true.

For example, take a look at the GPA’s and LSAT scores of admitted Yale and Berkeley prelaws to the top law schools. You will notice that, by and large, those admitted prelaws had the same stats as the average admitted prelaws (from all undergrad programs).
