<p>I’m considering pre-law (i’m currently pre-frosh, so it’s a long time away), and the reason I’m not too concerned is that even if the scuttlebutt is true, all it means is that UofC students have a disadvantage but also an advantage.</p>
<p>Disadvantage: Harder to get into top law schools relative to its peers (HYPSM, Brown, Dartmouth, etc).</p>
<p>Advantage: When finally in law school, UofC students perform better than expected because of their undergraduate preparation/coursework/etc. If you want to do BigLaw, AFAIK, they expect you to be in the top 20% or top 10% of your class.</p>
<p>Remember: These are general, blanket statements about a school’s student body; in the end, I’d imagine that whether or not you get into a good law school and do well in it depends much more on you, the individual, than the school you went to.</p>
