<p>I heard that most med/grad/law schools do not accept many of their undergrads, so attending the same undergrad can actually work against you for admission to their law school. Is this true?</p>
<p>I haven’t seen much evidence that it works against you to have attended the undergraduate school associated with the law school. I think the source of this belief is the fact that top law schools and medical schools are more selective than the undergraduate programs at the same university; their undergraduates also apply in disproportionately large numbers. </p>
<p>When I went to law school at Berkeley, the top three sources for undergraduates were Berkeley, Stanford, and UCLA, in that order; their combined alumni constituted more than a third of the class.</p>
<p>At least at the top law schools, this is absolutely NOT true.</p>
<p>I know several people who went to (or at least were accepted to) the law school associated with their undergrad campus without any problems. Their is a stigma when you do this in a research-based grad program, but for professional schools there is no real issue, especially since the faculties and resources are almost completely seperate.</p>
