<p>Which colleges send the most students to Harvard and Yale Law??</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>The top 2, unsurprisingly, are Harvard and Yale.</p>

<p>Duh…for the next best, you can basically consult the US News rankings…</p>

<p>What might be more interesting is how many people from a certain school get into them vs. how many from that school applied.</p>

<p>i.e. if Cornell sent 20 but had 200 apply, that’s not quite as impressive as if some LAC sent 3 but had 4 apply. (10% vs 75%)</p>

<p>ilovebagels- you make a good point.
What colleges besides yale and harvard send the most students?</p>

6

<p>Uhm… let me guess: Princeton and Columbia ?</p>

7

<p>I think hes asking if there are any surprises on the list of top undergrad colleges for Law School.</p>

<p>Though this includes other programs as well, it’s roughly the same. Some schools do better in law (Brown, for instance… I’ve heard that we send about 40 to Harvard law each year from a CCer at Harvard for grad school now who was a Brown undergrad) and some schools do better in other areas.</p>

<p>Most of Brown’s law school success can probably be attributed to our very high LSAT average.</p>

<p>IF – </p>

<p>a college selects as its admitted undergraduate students those who have done comparatively better on the CR part of the SAT than the Math portion, four years later a greater % of those students will do better on the LSAT than those from another equally ranked college.</p>

<p>or IF a college selects students with a higher weighting on the essay portion of their application, it may also be true that that college’s students may do better on the LSAT than those from another equally ranked college.</p>

<p>It is quite expected that some colleges will favor, for historical or other reasons, students who are more skilled in the CR area of their brain than the Math area. Four years later, that selection bias will naturally produce graduates who do better than other equally ranked colleges on the LSAT.</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Williams, Amherst.</p>

<p>The best liberal arts universities and colleges, of course.</p>

11

<p>I would also recommend Brown, Columbia, and Dartmouth. Swarthmore, too.</p>

12

<p>The top HBCUs (Howard, Spelman, Morehouse) also do quite well.</p>

13

<p>I would say not Stanford, relatively speaking, nor MIT. Stanford/MIT have much greater strength at the undergraduate level in the sciences.</p>

<p>Harvard and Yale … …</p>
