<p>I know at least three ILRies entered Harvard Law School in Fall '07, and that they’re doing great.
Among my chums in the class of 07, one started his PhD at UPenn, another started hers at Princeton (History), one’s getting a PhD at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, and another is getting a masters at Stanford. Of course, a lot of people don’t go to PhD programs straight from undergrad, virtually no one does MBA from undergrad, and I’m just referring to the small subset of students I know. To be honest, very few ILRies I knew were at all interested in pursuing PhDs, but those who <em>did</em> pursue them them did great.
That ILR grads don’t get into good grad schools is pretty silly. I’ve never heard that sort of rumor, and if anything I’ve been told (and my anecdotal experience suggests) that it is very good to be applying for law school out of ILR, all else being equal. Perhaps it’s because they’re better trained, perhaps it’s because GPA-maximization is more tractable in ILR. In any event, ILR evidently presents its grads with great opportunities, but you shouldn’t leave it up to your undergrad school to hand you a top grad program on a silver platter!</p>
