<p>This is debatable, but whatever. As you said, ‘all else being equal’. Yet, that Arizona State kid with 3.9 and same LSAT (168+) is highly likely to get into multiple top law schools anyway. And, that Arizona kid would have gotten that GPA much more easily than that Cornell kid. I think going to a low ranked UG actually helps you, not hurts you. If you have 174+ LSAT 3.9 GPA, you will get into every single law school in the nation, maybe not Yale, and law schools won’t care what UG you come from. Arizona State kid with 170 LSAT will beat that Cornell kid with 168 LSAT 10 out of 10 times in law school admissions! Law school admissions are very predictable.</p>
