Law school Legacy

<p>Do law school admissions committees treat legacies in the same way as undergraduate admissions committees? Will a legacy at G'town undergrad translate into a boost for an application to law school, or, if inversely, will a legacy at G'town law translate into a similar boost for undergrad admissions there? Basically, do legacy advantages exist past the undergraduate level, and past the undergraduate generational (legacy) link?</p>

<p>Some schools do this, but not apparently not many of the top ones. Legacy status only applies for the same kind of admittance--for example undergraduate to undergraduate.</p>

<p>So there is legacy, but it will only benefit your law school admissions if a close family member attended the same law school you desire to attend. For example, I heard of a 158 LSAT getting into Harvard Law because both his father and grandfather attended.</p>
