<p>Does attending Michigan for undergrad boost your chances for getting into the law school? Opposed to say Emory? My friend got accepted to both Emory and Michigan but decided to attend a SUNY school for 1 year for personal reasons. Supposedly Emory has given him a guaranteed transfer admit and he is considering where to go.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Michigan’s professional graduate programs definitely favor Michigan undergrads. That’s the case with most graduate professional schools.</p>
<p>If you get a3.8 GPA as an undergrad at Michigan you don’t have to submit an LSAT score. pretty cool for poor standardized test takers</p>
<p>^^^You do realize that the amount of people who graduate from Michigan with a 3.8 is not very high. I’d assume that those same people who do graduate with a GPA that high would do well on the LSAT regardless.</p>
<p>I know, I was just putting that out there.</p>
<p>That only goes for if you haven’t already taken the LSAT, too, you have to submit it if you’ve already taken it regardless of your gpa.</p>

<p>Not true, lots of other factors influence standardized testing performance and GPA respectively that make it impossible for one to draw a fair comparison.</p>
<p>^^^We’re not talking about high school kids here. These are high performing students who graduated/will graduate from the University of Michigan!</p>
<p>Michigan Law - where I went - admits a lower percentage of in-state students than other top public law schools. I believe Michigan is still 50%. So, yes you have an advantage but it’s not as large as if you went to Virginia in-state and then applied to their law school. And it’s harder to get into Berkeley because they take such a high % in-state.</p>
<p>^Interesting, as I myself would like to go to Law School</p>
