Getting into Top Grad School: Which has the Edge?

<ol>
<li><p>Law school is a professional school, not graduate school. They may seem the same to you, but learn the difference if you expect people to take your post-college aspirations seriously.</p></li>
<li><p>

This holds even more true for law school. Law school admissions consists almost solely of GPA and LSAT scores. Your choice of college matters very little, as long as you have a high GPA and score well on the LSAT. This has considerably more to do with how good a student you are than how prestigious your college is. The reason top colleges send many students to top law schools is because they enroll top students. </p></li>
<li><p>I suspect the flocking of Brandeis students to Harvard law has more to do with geographic proximity than an admissions advantage. I would imagine that the reverse would hold true at Duke law. Wake students outnumber Brandeis students this year at [Yale</a> law](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/bulletin/html/law/students.html]Yale”>http://www.yale.edu/bulletin/html/law/students.html), so clearly they do not have a problem getting into top law schools.</p></li>
