<p>Well, yes and no. You can certainly get into an Ivy grad or professional school from a 3rd tier undergrad, but those same Ivy grad programs will take a much deeper cut into the graduating classes from themselves and other elite colleges. These numbers ilustrate the point:</p>

<p>As you can see, there are a bunch of 2nd and 3rd tier colleges that managed to get one or two kids into Harvard Law School, but the ones that got admissions in the double and triple digits are all elite private and top-of-the-line state schools. So I'd say that Ivy grad admission from a 3rd tier school is possible, but you better be among the top one or two students in your entire college.</p>
