<p>The following are schools I'm looking into, and I'd like if perhaps someone could rank them by how well they feed into the top (5 or so) law schools. I'm just curious to see how they stand in relation to their so-called "feeding" ability. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Williams
Amherst
Pomona
Yale
Stanford
Vanderbilt
Duke
UPenn
Rice
Brown</p>
<p>Wherever you can get the highest GPA.</p>
<p>okay, i mean with the same GPA and same LSAT.</p>
<p>They all feed on lots of little boys! ohhh THAT feed</p>
<p>At the top would be Yale, Stanford, then Duke Williams then Pomonoa Amherst Brown and Rice I think. Penn is in there somewhere</p>
<p>When you ask for a ranking of like some of the top schools in the country, its hard to differentiate.</p>
<p>In the top 5, the largest groups of undergrads come from Yale and Harvard (each leads at its own law school), usually followed by Princeton, Stanford, and Duke in some order.</p>
<p>These pages will give you a good idea of where law students come from. The numbers look quite similar across the top 5 law schools, again with the exception that at each law school there is an exaggerated number of students who did undergrad at the same school.</p>
<p>keep in mind that Amherst williams and Pomona have less than half the students of the other schools</p>
<p>Yeah, well adjusted for class size on that list it would still be in generally the same order (even though it really should be adjusted for number of students who intend to go to law school)</p>
<p>I actually forget where I saw the "proportions" going to top 5 professional schools from each school</p>
<p>I think from that list Yale, Stanford, and Duke are the top 3 feeders, with Williams and Swarthmore in their somewhere as well.</p>
<p>The "feeding" differences between the schools on this list are minuscule.</p>
<p>Among the schools at the top of the list, the differences are indeed small. But the gap between, say, Yale and Vanderbilt is not trivial.</p>
<p>First, make sure you check the numbers by gender. Then eliminate all legacy law school admissions, and those based on developmental needs, wealth, and friends of the admissions committee. That is, unless you are wealthy, a law school legacy, your granddad gave several mil or endowed a chair, and your mom has lunch with a member of the admssions committee on a regular basis. </p>
<p>Putting that aside, you also have to make a correction for the wealth of the student body. Economically poorer students are much more likely to apply to their state schools, where they are likely to end up practicing.</p>
<p>The numbers aren't always what they seem.</p>
<p>The real question (if that's what you are interested in) is "how will a student like you" fare, with the same LSATs etc., if top of the class at a good but not great state school vs. middle of the class at one of the prestigious ones?" How you go about answering that is anyone's guess.</p>
<p>i mean, i think the best way of looking at it, just take a look at some published law school profiles such as Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, Northwestern, Chicago, and you will see which schools fair well. For example, for MBA programs, look at Penn Wharton's incoming profile, that should give u an estimate on how well your undergraduate school fairs in grad admissions.</p>
<p>They feed you pretty well at Williams, good quality grub, and plenty of it.</p>
