<p>I agree with Hanna. In fact, if you are one of the top candidates from a smaller, highly selective school like W&L or Williams or Pomona, you are often in a better position for law school (or business school, or grad school) acceptance than the numerous candidates from the large schools. In effect, you become the desirable candidate because you’re NOT from Georgetown/Duke/etc … It’s not much different than college admission: they want candidates of all types, from all types of schools. Even Yale Law rejects hundreds of qualified Yale applicants each year in favor of people from other schools.</p>
<p>As long as you perform at a high level, you will actually have an advantage as a W&L graduate. Check the placement stats, and I think you will come to the same conclusion.</p>
