<p>Having gone through LS admissions, I am here to provide the info to those considering law. And, I am basically warning prospective high school (or college) students that the choice of UG won’t affect the desired outcome of a top LS acceptance. There seems to be a widely circulated myth that among HS school students, attending that certain top UG would help them get into that certain Med/Law school. And, there is one particular poster, who happens to be an adult, who projects such belief in this thread. One kid from my high school gave up full merit scholarships at several schools, some Ivies, and ended up at Johns Hopkins premed paying sticker (200k) just so that he can have a better shot at Johns Hopkins Med School. And, to be honest, many parents, adults, students, and HS counselors are pretty clueless when it comes to professional school admissions. Attending a top UG paying near sticker just to enhance a shot at top LS or med school is a TERRIBLE decision. Unless you get a generous Fin Aid at a top UG, it isn’t worth it.</p>

<p>I don’t have large data points. Yet, the small sample I have is aligned with the conventionally accepted fact among top law school students and admits, re: you need to ace LSAT to get into a top Law, and there is no other way around it unless you are a URM. (black or hispanic)</p>

<p>Although Penn State is a decent school, few would consider it a top UG with Arizona State being farther away from it.</p>
