<p>I am not going to debate this back and forth but keep in mind that the law school UT-Austin, which ranks somewhere around # 15 it is definitely safer to say that they would have many students that are instate texas residents (with probably their fair share from the undergrad). </p>
<p>I am quite sure that the same would hold true for NYU Law (#4 or 5) and WashU where all of these schools would have a higher representation of students from their school than students coming from Wes (mind you, I have nothing against wes, I think it is a great school). IF money is an issue, from a financial aid standpoint, you would most likely be better served attending Wes, or UT (where you would atleast have the benefit of in-state tuition) because NYU gives very little aid to transfer students.</p>
<p>NYU law does not post their listing of undergrad schools represented and you can't get the information on-line (As a NYU student, you would physically have to go to career services, show your id and sign up for the information).</p>
<p>In addition, a lot would depend on where you ultimately want to end up practicing. While the T-14 certainly would have a national recognition, don't negate the fact that the top regional schools still hold a lot of weight.</p>
<p>While you should look at the information presented, don't look at it as the be all and end all becasue so many different things go into making the decision to go to law school and deciding which school is right for you. Keep in mind that many students applying to HYS are more of a self selected group and no where at all representative of the pool of law school applicants in any given year. Not everyone choses to attend harvard or yale, for a number of reasons. Right now there are a couple of discussions going on the LSD.org about students turning down Harvard and Yale, because they have gotten full rides at Columbia, Mich, etc.</p>
