<p>I was surfing around the JHU career website and found this information. Johns Hopkins Law School placement is one of the best in the country. Here are the number of <em>Admits</em> to law schools for undergraduates at JHU, graduating class of 2005:</p>

Boston University: 16

<p>o.O saw it on the auto admit site already lol pretty shocking lol
edit: probably b/c it's so shocking, it's qutie hard to believe, should check on the source and make sure you really got it from the jhu site =/</p>
<p>Just as an update...Hopkins is VERY successful when it comes to law school admisions. This year, two of my closest friends have been admitted <em>everywhere.</em> Yale, Harvard, NYU, Columbia (full scholarship), Stanford, Chicago...clearly, it's a small/skewed sample, but in general, all of the pre-law students that I know have been very happy with the options presented to them throughout the course of the admissions cycle. </p>
<p>More importantly, the pre-professional advising office is fantastic when it comes to pre law advising - there is a quite active pre-law society that plans alumni panels in a variety of law specialties, there are often visits from law school admissions officials, and the school has instituted a pre-law committee review process (like that used for med school) that is optional for pre-law applicants. In general, pre-law students have amazing resources that allow them to have such stellar placement records year after year.</p>
<p>What's impressive is that they got in with lower stats than average. For example, the average GPA of Duke admits was a 3.69. While this seems high, it's below average for the Duke applicant pool (bottom 25% had below 3.66).</p>
<p>And remember, according to the graduate surveys taken by the career center, only about 10-15% of Hopkins students in a given year are pre-law, which equates to about 120-170 students. So acceptances of this caliber and of this number are even more impressive.</p>
<p>And warblers, what you said is very true. I know of a student who got into Chicago Law with a 3.18. While that's not the norm, law schools look favorably upon a Hopkins degree.</p>
<p>=/ i'm still bewildered how does hopkins manage admission to law of this caliber if what pianote said is true in that the money is all going to premed things o.O...am i the only one unable to find the link displaying the admits posted above =/</p>
<p>Darkhope, you do realize Hopkins has A LOT of money. And they're pretty good at dishing it out.</p>
<p>wow, i'm shocked, simply "wow"</p>
<p>Hate to burst the bubble but this isn't that impressive. The Ivies do 4-10X better on a per student basis.</p>
<p>Yeah, but most ivies have considerably more students applying to law school. The latest post-grad statistics show a whopping 7-10% of JHU alum in law school. This equates to 65-90 people.</p>
<p>In response to slipper:</p>
<p>The ivies send more to law schools sure but how do you know they don't fair similar to JHU in terms of admissions? Do you have actual numerical data to back up your claims of doing 4-10x better? Enrollment stats do not equal admission stats.</p>
