Getting into Law School

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>So yep, getting into law school has been one of my life-long dreams, and I was wondering, do law schools look at stuff other than GPA/LSAT?</p>

<p>Is it necessary to attend an Ivy-level institution to attend, say Harvard/Stanford/Yale? Or is an undergrad education, at say, NYU (which is still great), good enough?</p>

<p>Yes. No. Yes.</p>

<p>Haha, short and sweet, just the way I like it. Thanks! :) </p>

<p>I assume the level of the instution does have at least a partial influence? (Perhaps at the Top 5?)</p>

<p>If your GPA isn't very good but your LSAT is strong, schools will generally give you a little more leeway if you come from a top undergraduate school. Yale has faculty making the decision and does not give them formal instructions, so it's entirely possible that you'll get a faculty member who likes Ivy-undergrads -- or hates them.</p>

<p>I see. Alright, thanks so much! :)</p>

<p>At least my hopes have relighted.</p>
