Which path would be the "best" to get into a top law school harvard, stanford etc.

[Vctory]

<p>

Based on data from Lawschoolnumbers.com for my admissions cycle (2012-13), here were the acceptance rates of selected applicants at a few top schools, none of whom were early decision applicants or under-represented minorities, grouped into (a) those whose LSAT and GPA were both below a school’s eventual median for that class, and (b) those whose LSAT and GPA were both above a school’s median.</p>

<p>Harvard, above both: 98% (42/43)
Harvard, below both: 4% (5/141)</p>

<p>Columbia, above both: 86% (102/118)
Columbia, below both: 5% (4/84)</p>

<p>Chicago, above both: 85% (33/39)
Chicago, below both: 4% (4/85)</p>

<p>NYU, above both: 95% (137/144)
NYU, below both: 6% (4/68)

It’s a numbers game. All those options would strike you out at HYS. Neither undergrad prestige nor major matters for admissions purposes. </p>
