<p>i didnt say ilr had the top placement rate into top schools. I don't want to speculate if I dont have actual numbers from actual schools. But, I do have a few friends who were ex-ilr students at Harvard law, some more at Penn and others at NYU and Columbia (not bad considering ILR only graduates 170 or so total a year). The dean and my professor havn't kept track of how many students go to what schools. However, OVERALL, they have never heard of somebody not getting into at least one of the schools they applied to. Also, i've heard of (from my friends there) that JHU won't let students apply to many grad programs if they feel that they're too much of a reach. This keeps JHU's numbers high. I didn't miss any point, I didn't create a point of "only top schools" to begin with. If anything, you've missed the point here bud!</p>
<p>also, i'm glad ilr doesn't post the "XX amount went to Harvard Law, XX went to Columbia." I don't have the raw numbers to counter gatorade's point. If you care more about the possibility of law school than the undergraduate education itself, go to JHU. </p>
<p>If you want to come to ilr because you like what it offers, then by all means apply. Just dont apply solely with the intention of an easier way into law school. Not only does admissions look to weed these people out, but you will be in for a very tough four years at Cornell.</p>
<p>Ya I was gonna say...ILR's freshman class is usually around 151 (and only a fraction are pre-law) while JHU's is certainly larger lol</p>
