<p>me personally? Everything else being equal, I’d rather have the Alabama undergrad–strikes me as frugal, a striver, and with a more diverse background. But that’s just me. I’m sure many if not most folks who do hiring (especially at big firms) prefer the highest ranking for UG and law school possible. </p>
<p>my point was just that since you don’t know what kind of law school you might get in to (or if you will even want to go to law school) it could possibly be better to take the one that:</p>
<p>a) has a better chance of letting you move up the prestige ladder if you do go to law school (if you go to Harvard undergrad, there’s very little but down for you to move for law school)</p>
<p>b) lets you graduate with less debt.</p>
