It logically follows really. Having an undergrad degree in X would help you in a graduate degree of field X. Having an undergraduate degree in biology would help you in a graduate degree of biology. Having an undergraduate degree in business would help you in a graduate degree of business.</p>

“For the most part, though, no.” – How was this statement wrong? Even with your bit about top law schools do care, my statement is still valid.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope. Doesn’t logically follow at all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t really feel like going into a long explanation as to why. To put it briefly, you said “no” and conceded that the “for the most part” was semantically trivial:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Since you also conceded that some, if not all, top law schools consider it to various weights, this contradicts the “no” above. Therefore, you were inaccurate. Moreover, you were wrong.</p>
<p>I’m done here.</p>
<p>
Why not?</p>
<p>
Some is not an absolute. If I said all, there would be a contradiction. Some leaves room for circumstances like you described. There was no contradiction and I was never wrong.</p>
<p>Most top law schools are NOT going to accept students with lower GPAs even if they came from a competitive major or competitive undergrad because then their rankings would fall. So as crazy as it sounds, you will be punished for going to a competitive undergrad or doing a tough major.</p>
