Can rejection from Undergrad hurt my chance of admission to law school?

<p>If I apply to Harvard and get rejected, will it hurt my chances of getting accepted to their law school at a later date in the future?
Thank you. </p>

<p>Law school’s will only know of your Harvard rejection if you tell them. And if you do, you’ll be in good company: <a href=“Famous Harvard Rejects Named by Magazine - ABC News”>http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3201481&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Gibby’s right. Totally different admissions departments. No overlap in staff. </p>

<p>Just note that Harvard law school, I could be wrong, is harder than harvard college in terms of acceptance rate</p>

<p>^ ^ The overall acceptance rate for HLS is higher than the acceptance rate for the College: <a href=“http://www.law.harvard.edu/prospective/jd/apply/classprofile.html”>http://www.law.harvard.edu/prospective/jd/apply/classprofile.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Oh oops, my bad :smile: </p>

<p>The difference is that Harvard’s college, at about 1,650 per class, is still on the small-to-average side among elite universities, and is very small relative to its prestige. In the law school world, Harvard is one of the largest of the elite law schools (I think Georgetown is a tad larger, but that’s it). It enrolls about 150% of the students enrolled by its two closest rivals combined. So it’s going to wind up accepting a relatively high percentage of the pool of kids with legitimate top-law-school credentials.</p>
