<p>I've noticed that people stress the importance of a high GPA for law school admissions.
If I want to get into a top law school like Harvard or Yale,
would it be better to get a high GPA from an easier undergraduate school, or get a medium GPA from a high ranked school.</p>
<p>High GPA from an easier school.</p>
<p>Anymore feedback?</p>
<p>High GPA from an easier school.</p>
<p>oh, has that been said already?</p>
<p>But do people from lower ranked schools even get into prestigious law schools?</p>
<p>High GPA from an easier school. Undergrad prestige is hardly a factor compared to a high GPA and LSAT score.</p>
<p>Out of a 4.0 scale, what is considered a high GPA?</p>
<p>For Yale & Stanford, a 3.9 for unhooked. With its much larger class, H will dip down to a 3.8 unhooked.</p>
<p>What is unhooked?</p>
<p>You’re not a Rhodes scholar, didn’t start and sell a successful company, didn’t serve tours in Iraq and Afghanistan where you received combat awards, etc.</p>
<p>How about for schools other than Yale and Stanford?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Also the GPA LSAT numbers can be lower if you are URM. I am not sure on what exactly qualifies as URM, it is not always what you think. So, if you think you might be in that category, you may be considered “hooked”. When you search on the web site YaleAlumnus just gave you, one of the criteria you can sort by is URM. That should give you a better idea.</p>
<p>Pardon my ignorance, but what is signified by URM? Appreciate it!</p>
<p>Underrepresented Minority. They’re classified as Black, Latino, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Samoan or Tongan.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
