<p>Ok, so I know that where you go for undergrad obviously has some weight in your acceptance into law school. But how much does it really matter? Right now I am enrolled at UCI and am thinking about transferring to University of Colorado at Boulder. Would doing this greatly hurt my chances of getting into a good law school, even if my LSAT score would be the same and my GPA would probably increase slightly at Boulder? (also with everything else being similar, like work experience) Thanks.</p>
<p>in general for the vast majority of law school admissions - the answer is no. Law school admissions is one of the most numbers driven grad school admissions there is. Basicly a composite score of undergrad gpa and lsat. so in short it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>however, 2 things get in the way of that reasoning. 1 would be 2 otherwise identical applicants - 1 from average university and 1 from extremely selective university. the 1 from extremely selective university will likely get the nod rather than person from average university.</p>
<p>Also, most elite law schools have students from elite colleges because in general students at elite colleges are better students (and dare i say generally smarter) than students at average schools - meaning that in general they will score higher on the lsats.</p>
