<p>hi all. umm, I was wondering how well of a job cornell undergrad does in placing its students in the top law schools in america.
What are its percentage placements in the following law schools?
My first choice law school is nyu so it would be ideal if you could tell me the percent that get into nyu's law school. </p>
<p>But other top law schools below would be helpful to know about. </p>
<p>Yale Law
Harvard Law
Columbia Law
Penn Law
Cornell Law
UCLA Law</p>
<p>92% of students got into their top law schools</p>
<p>Most commonly attended:
NYU
Harvard
Columbia
....I can't remember the rest.</p>
<p>And if it helps any -I know three people personally (class of 2008) going to - Harvard, NYU, and Penn</p>
<p>As long as you have the LSAT score, it is pretty easy to get into NYU out of Cornell.</p>
<p>Honestly, the only law school that Cornell doesn't seem to have the best reputation with is Yale. I have only known two people from Cornell get into Yale.</p>
<p>I have a friend who had a 3.5 GPA, no ECs, no summer internships, got a B- in a Cornell law class and 172 LSAT. She got into Georgetown and some small school. She was waitlisted at Penn (eventually got in), NYU (eventually rejected), Columbia (waitlisted, then got in), USC (got in 2 weeks before classes start) and rejected from Cornell.</p>
<p>She is currently at UPenn and doing very well academically.</p>
<p>it's all in the LSAT. </p>
<p>A 4.0 at Cornell (or any other college for that matter) and a 149 LSAT and you can bet you wont get into any top-25 place. </p>
<p>Then again, a 3.4 and a 172 and I'd say you're in the running at several top-15 schools.</p>
<p>Getting a 3.7+ GPA and cracking 170 LSAT coming out of Cornell will essentially guarnatee you one or two acceptances from top 10 law schools. Talking about Yale Law, it is insanely difficult. The acceptance rate for YLS is around 5%. Penn, NYU, Columbia, Duke, Cornell law schools would be reasonable targets given that you perform at a high level at college.</p>
<p>Good luck. My D is currently a rising junior at Cornell, has a 3.9 GPA and is interning at Goldman Sachs this summer. She too wants to go to a top 5 law school. Her friend from Cornell just graduated and got into NYU law. She is using him as her guide. (Cornell also provides stats about how many students from CU applied to what school, how many got in and their LSAT and GPA ) His GPA was at least a 3.8 and LSAT 169 0r 170. (I cannot remember exactly). I know that LSAT score matters alot.</p>
<p>I took out my packet of the recent stats for Cornell students who applied to law school...</p>
<p>First of all this isn't true "Most commonly attended:
NYU
Harvard
Columbia"</p>
<p>Real Admit ; Matriculation numbers (to disprove above statement:
NYU 40 ; 9
Harvard 17 ; 14
Columbia 28 ; 14.</p>
<p>But anyway since u wanted more about NYU I'll tell u what my packet says (remember these are the stats for people coming from Cornell)
NYU Admitted: 40 people. Average LSAT: 171.1 Mean GPA: 3.78</p>
<p>Crap since I feel nice I'll do the rest too lol - I'll use the same format
Yale Law 3ppl No stats since such few people
Harvard Law 16 ppl 172.8 LSAT 3.91 GPA
Columbia Law 28 ppl 172 LSAT 3.7 GPA
Penn Law 28 ppl 169 LSAT 3.71 GPA
Cornell Law 64 ppl 166.1 LSAT 3.66 GPA
UCLA Law 20 ppl 170.2 LSAT 3.76 GPA</p>
<p>Just a P.S...remember that admitted stats are higher than matriculated so don't necessarily get discouraged if some look higher than u think u can get b/c the stats for ppl who actually go are always lower. Anyway, GL!</p>
<p>I meant 'accepted' not attended...and I saw them listed in some packet.</p>
<p>^ I mean that's still wrong....17 people were accepted to Harvard...it's obviously not one of the highest accepted. No offense :)</p>
