<p>I am still looking for matriculation data on many of the top law schools, eg, NYU, Columbia, Georgetown (I have only one year now), U Penn, Duke, Vanderbilt (only one year now), U Texas, U Chicago, Northwestern, U Michigan, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, etc.</p>
<p>"the Top LACs are incredibly competitive in terms of law school enrollment to the elite programs. it makes perfect sense. A/ W/ S all have top notch humanities programs (English, History, Poli Sci etc. - traditional majors of pre-law students). Basically law schools are looking for those who can demonstrate the ability do the “heavy lifting” reading, writing and critical thinking and there is certainly no better place than the top LACs to help one prepare for the intellectual rigors of law school. Finally, the more intimate environment of a LAC is well suited for things like recommendations, grad placement counseling, etc. vs. a large research oriented U, where you can get lost in the sea of students.

<p>I disagree…I think it is a function of SAT scores at these schools. High SAT scores yield in the aggregate, high LSAT scores. Couple this with grade inflation at elite schools and it becomes clear how certain schools are perennial law school feeder schools.</p>
