<p>I think that’s mostly a function of LSAT scores which closely correlate with the SAT/ACT scores that got those students into top 1% colleges and universities in the first place. But notice I also said Yale and Stanford Law Schools are exceptions: they have such tiny entering classes and get so many applications from uber-qualified candidates (and have such high yields) that they can afford to be more ‘holistic’ than other top law schools, which might well translate into a preference for applicants from “name-brand” schools. But you still need a top GPA and LSAT score to be in that pool that is evaluated holistically. The other top 15 or top 20 law schools don’t much care about the undergrad institution because they’re locked into such a fierce competition to maintain their rankings.</p>
<p>I do think Michigan Law gives some preferential treatment to Michigan undergrads, however, which is a positive about attending Michigan as an undergrad if you’re contemplating law school.</p>
