This is all interesting. I ended in B school six years after I graduated. I know most go to law school immediately after but the general rule schools say to go elsewhere.

So to see them accepting so many of their own is counter that - but perhaps the # of applications far exceeds and the acceptance rate of their own students is the same or even below that of other schools…we don’t know.

As for UCLA and USC, maybe they have so many USC because of proximity - maybe after UCLA, USC is the 2nd most # of applicants.

When I look at the Harvard and see a Boise State or Idaho State at Yale, their acceptance rate from that school is likely 100%…or maybe 50% or 33%.

We’d really need to see data by each school to really know what is happening here beyond making a hypothesis.

Note - there’s also the 6 year BA/JD programs - not sure if the student has to formally apply as they “transition” to law school. I don’t see one at UCLA but they would obviously favor home grown students.
