<p>Which school is better for political science and psychology? I'm hoping to double major in those subjects and plan on going to law school after I graduate.</p>
<p>Do law schools care about which school you graduated from? I know they first look at your GPA, LSAT score, and experience/work, but would graduating from a prestigious undergraduate school make a difference into getting accepted to schools like Yale Law or Harvard Law?</p>
<p>Take a look at the rosters for either of those law schools. A majority come from highlyselective schools. The two top UCs are viewed equally.</p>
<p>Law schools care very little about the university where you graduate. They use very “rough” perceptions so the 3 rank difference between UCLA and Berkeley won’t make a difference. Even UCSB is considered comparable.</p>
<p>What matters significantly more to grad schools is GPA. A student with a 3.8 GPA from a CSU would most likely be chosen over a person with 3.2 GPA from Berkeley.</p>
<p>It is a myth that students from selective universities have much of an edge in grad school admissions.</p>

<p>Do law schools care about which school you graduated from? In some instances, YES. But in most instances, NO. </p>
<p>UC Berkeley or UCLA? Depends on your personal fit. UCLA has a nicer climate and is in LA. Berkeley has a more classic campus feel and great architecture. Berkeley has a higher academic rep, too, and has more graduates getting into Yale Law, Harvard Law and Boalt Law school.</p>
