<p>I was just wondering what the chances were of graduating from Iowa State University with an undergraduate degree, and attending a T14 Law School?</p>
<p>For T14, does prestige matter that much?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Your undergrad makes absolutely no difference. They will care only about your GPA and LSAT.</p>

<p>Are you saying that it doesn’t matter what school you attend when applying to law school? I would think that graduating from an Ivy would give you better chances than graduating from a state school.</p>
<p>You’d be wrong. They don’t care. US News ranks according to LSAT and GPA, not undergrad name.</p>

<p>Attending an Ivy for undergrad doesn’t give you any advantage over state school grads in terms of law school admissions.</p>
<p>But, much more importantly, attending an Ivy undergard over a state school gives you a much better shot at landing a good entry-level job after college.</p>
<p>I can see the undergraduate institution as a tiebreaker if all else was equal, or the GPA/LSAT difference was minimal. But no law school is going to turn down a stellar candidate because, horror of horrors, he went to a state school. That kind of thing happened decades and decades ago, and the LSAT was created specifically to rectify that problem. </p>
<p>However, if your question is actually “How often do graduates of Iowa State make it to the T14?” I’m afraid I have no idea, though your school’s pre-law advisor probably has that data.</p>
<p>So with a 3.5+ GPA and a good LSAT a Rutgers NB graduate would have a decent chance at T14 law schools?</p>
<p>“So with a 3.5+ GPA and a good LSAT a Rutgers NB graduate would have a decent chance at T14 law schools?”</p>
<p>Try 3.7+ and 168+.</p>

<p>But you would say the same for just about any school?</p>
