<p>Hey everyone, I found out some time ago that the Law School at Penn has a great program in conjunction with some university in France (Sorbonne, I think). Anyway, you’d get your JD. in the US as well as a French law license. My question is, assuming I don’t change my plans, is it a good idea to attend UPenn’s undergrad program, in order to make me look better when I apply to Penn’s law school ? I hear Law schools at certain universities like to admit students from diff. schools other than their own. Please advise, thank you.</p>
<p>Pretty much all elite universities prefer not to admit their undergrads to their graduate schools unless a significant amount of time has passed since graduation. Law school is a little different however since you’e unlikely to have encountered any of the law faculty during your undergrad years. For example, Penn has a neat submatriculation program where you overlap your BA and JD. </p>
<p>There is also some evidence that the Ivies tend to favor their own in law school admissions.</p>
<p>All that said, remember that law school admission is almost completely a numbers game - given a good undergrad university, your GPA and LSAT score will be huge factors in admission. </p>
<p>Finally, don’t be afraid to call admissions departments and ask questions - you’ll get better answers than you will here!</p>

<p>Yup.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies WilliamC and thinkjose1.</p>
