<p>You also have to factor in the student body. It is very difficult to get into Harvard as an undergraduate so the students matriculating from Harvard to Harvard Law are already the exceptional students. It doesn’t say anything about the education they got at Harvard, just that they got into Harvard in the first place.</p>
<p>“The most prestigious schools to the sight of top professionals schools”. The entire title of the thread is misleading and inaccurate.</p>
<p>Simply because a university admits more students from a specific school does not necessarily mean they regard the university more prestigiously. Perhaps the university cranks out more qualified students? Or perhaps the university had stronger students to begin with? A university can easily think “So-and-so university receives a lot of top students every year but they come out half as educuated after”, which could still be very good.</p>
<p>Also, the only reason some of these schools are even on these lists is because they matriculate so many students. Then you have to consider how many students of a particular university applied to this or that university. Not everyone is enamored with Harvard as you may think. It’s often a regional issue as well.</p>
<p>Numbers do not match up with link. Very notable universities are missing. Other random unnotable universities are spliced in. Berkeley only has 10 and a bunch of obscure Chinese universities that RML would never dare assert as “prestigious” have a a bunch, such as Tsinghua University with 36.</p>
<p>^ I think the numbers match. You are looking at the PhD section, while RML was prolly counting only the MD (professional/medical section). Thats why Tsinghua has 30+. Technically though Tsinghua would count as prestigious in China at least.</p>
<p>All in all I don’t approve of threads like this, since there is no way of linking the cause and effect so no comment.</p>
<p>And we all know why adjustments aren’t being made for size</p>
<p>Is RML the CC version of a tireless Jehovah’s Witness going from door to door to promote his faith to people who mostly regret opening the door as soon as they lay eyes on him? A Cantab converted to Berkeleyanity maybe?</p>
<p>Why do we have to adjust the figures to size? I think that’s silly, if the intention is to get the names of schools viewed by these top professional schools as prestigious. </p>
<p>Sorry @ chocolatenutz. The Ivies are great and the data would show that they are, if getting into a top professional school is the basis. But this also goes to show that you don’t have to graduate from an Ivy to get into a top professional school. Going to your State U will not bar you from getting excellent opportunities such as attending a top professional school.</p>
<p>Clearly, School A is viewed more favorably because it has 15 attending, right?</p>
<p>And I don’t think it’s about “prestige,” it’s about admitting qualified students. Many schools have a disproportionately large amount of qualified students, but any school can produce a qualified student.</p>
<p>No no no, what is this acceptance rate you speak of? Nonsense!!! If a school has 25,000 undergraduates, of whom 1,500 apply to Harvard Law and 50 get in, then that school is automatically, obviously, indubitably, inarguably more ****PRESTIGIOUS ***<a href=“the%20most%20beautiful%20adjective%20in%20the%20English%20language,%20clearly”>/I</a> than some depressingly bourgeois liberal arts college (Williams? Smith? Such common, classless names!) that has 30 applicants and 15 admits. What misguided definition of prestige are you using, my friend?</p>
<p>Admits must be computed against the # of applicants, not the size of the school, if we are to establish school prestige to the sight of these top professional schools.</p>
