I realize the road to law school requires a multitude of things, ranging from the a good LSAT score to good grades. However, I am not sure which factors are the most important (in terms of getting admitted to law school).

This is what I’ve gathered. <----- very limited knowledge
*(in order of decreasing importance)

1. Grades

2. LSAT

3. ECs

Could someone please confirm/add to this?

There are decisions I must make in the near future. My biggest dilemma as a high school student is deciding what undergrad college to go to… Haven’t applied as of yet. I have heard prestige plays an immense role in the legal field.

So, in terms of undergrad, is one better off going to a more “mediocre” college and getting straight A’s or going to a more “prestigious” school and getting a slightly lower GPA? Can attending that “mediocre” college be destructive towards my efforts?
