<p>My friend's dad is a lawyer, and he told me that prestigious law schools don't take UCSB applicants seriously because of it's party-school reputation. Is this true? I really don't think it's true, but I just want to hear everyone's thoughts about this.</p>
<p>lol no</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>it could be true~ due to a admission officer’s bias, but highly unlikely</p>
<p>Can you ask your friend’s dad where he received his information from? Is he a law school admissions officer? </p>
<p>It seems like one person overly concerned with school reputation making a broad generalization. I haven’t looked into this, but does UCSB have a zero percent admission rate into law schools? If not, then your friend’s dad is probably wrong.</p>
<p>People in academia probably know that not all UCSB students are writing their law school applications while drunk and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.</p>
<p>NO. False. </p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what school you go too. All law schools care about are your g.p.a and lsat score. </p>
<p>A 3.8 at a Cal State is better than a 3.5 at UC Berkeley. </p>
<p>Law schools is about the numbers and it doesn’t matter your major. A 3.9 Art History Major will get in easier to Harvard and Yale than even a 3.6 engineering student. </p>
<p>Take basket weaving if you have to, top grades and killing the LSAT are the path to the top schools.</p>
