<p>Maroon8 - with regard to affordable good midwestern law schools drawing Chicago undergrads, my response to you would be: maybe. If you look at the Illinois Law class profile for 2012, however, notice that Chicago isn’t represented AT ALL in the class:</p>

<p>You have someone from harvard, princeton, columbia, northwestern, etc. there, but no one from Chicago. Obviously, this is just a fluke year, but from what I know, the old adage for law school is: go to the highest ranking school that accepts you. I would be surprised if Chicago was really sending more than a handful of students per year to Minn, Iowa, etc. Chicago’s student body is, by all accounts, getting wealthier, which means the push to get into a top, “national” law school would be more pressing.</p>
