Getting into Top Law Schools?

Your undergrad school’s name matters because the more known it is, it is likely to have a rigorous curriculum and grading system. In short, the assumption is earning an A in a known school is harder than earning an A in a less known school. So your gpa and from where you’be graduated matters.

<p>This is complete nonsense. Law schools have to report your GPA/LSAT to USNWR, not your undergrad institution. That’s why they care about your GPA and LSAT and not your undergrad name. They do not balance for allegedly “harder” schools or majors or life stories because they do not care. Consumers (students) are astonishingly sensitive to USNWR rank. They’re not sensitive to the majors/life stories/undergrad names of their fellow prospective students.</p>
