<p>234 undergraduate schools, with heavy overrepresentation by the Ivy League and similar schools:

<p>isnt it weird that only one person from Oxford University got into Harvard Law?</p>
<p>ske293 - can you post the link for the admission list of colleges for Kennedy School of Government?</p>
<p>Well, it's always harder for international students to gain admittance to U.S. graduate schools, I don't know how it is for law, but it is certainly true for medical schools. As for Oxford, well, aren't they world-renowned anyway? :)</p>
<p>so harvard law gives a lot of preference to ivy league schools or what...</p>
<p>does the school a person graduates from really matter as long as its at least a top 50 university? lets say a person graduates from UCLA or Berkeley...</p>
<p>will harvard think less of an applicant? or is it all a numbers game?</p>
<p>Did you even look at that link? Both Berkeley and UCLA each sent 40+ students to Harvard last year.</p>
<p>Right, but by adjusting for size you'll see that Berekely and UCLA don't actually send too many. Brown, for example, which is considerably smaller than either those two, sends more. </p>
<p>I think has to do with the quality of students at the ivy institutions, more than any preference by the law school.</p>
<p>Actually, Berkeley & UCLA send plenty in reference to all schools except Ivies and a few select others.</p>
<p>this is certainly not taking into account the applicant pool for each different school. I think if someone were to get data in the form of a percentage of applicants admitted/applicants of a particular school that it'd be a more precise measure. However, since grad schools don't want to impress the image that you have to go to a certain school to gain admittance into X grad. program, the likelihood that such information will be released is minute.</p>
<p>I'm interested in the GSE stats, if anyone has them or knows where I could get them...</p>
<p>From the words of my upperclassmen friends, it is a bit easier to get into Harvard Medical School, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Business School from Harvard College. Admittedly, the acceptance rate is not super high, but it is higher than each school's overall admit rate. I have found that a lot of my upperclass friends wish to go onto other graduate schools (e.g., Stanford Med, Columbia - nothing to scoff at) in order to experience life in a place other than Cambridge/Boston. As a pre-med student, I found that Columbia's medical school is extremely popular after Harvard Medical School among graduates (just a fun fact I thought I would throw in there).</p>
<p>You can't obtain stats on-line. The Office of Career Services is very particular in guarding its services for Harvard College and GSAS students only. For example, their graduate school statistics are only available in book form and we're not allowed to borrow it - it must stay within the building. Nor do they explicitly state acceptance rates into HLS, HMS or HBS in these books - you need a calculator or do some mental math in order to divide the applicant pool into the number of acceptees.</p>
<p>That said, GSE is a wonderful school and if you were here as an undergraduate, all of GSE's classes would be open to you. Lots of my psychology major friends interested in development psychology are taking classes at the Ed School, and one of the admissions officers I know (she just left to pursue a PhD) received a masters from the Ed School and took classes at GSE as an undergraduate here as well.</p>
<p>hey can someone post the link for the colleges that received admission to the Kennedy School of Gvnt?</p>
<p>sry didnt see your post^</p>
