Does the undergraduate school matter?

nstead of arguing with me Wildflower and Nspeds, why don’t you focus on giving the OP valuable information?



Really? This is the poster’s question:



So… how much better off am I transfering to a “more respected” school?



This is your response:



I was JUST trying to say that my school has a comparable population and is able to put kids into HLS.



That does not help in the least.

What my post demonstrates is that the type of school does factor rather significantly in law school admissions, justifiying a transfer from ASU to a school with better placement.

That ASU has a comparable population with UT does not imply that, next year, 30+ students will be admitted from the former.



All I was trying to say was that you can come from a large state school and still get into elite law schools.



I think the poster acknowledged this when he said:



and I noticed only 2 graduates went to Harvard while as many as 40 came from schools like UCLA, Berkely, and Ivy leagues.
