<p>The question is simple: What was the last year a community college student went straight to law school? There is nothing wrong syntactically, it's just a bit broad.</p>
<p>From what I've read and been told, the practice of non-BA/BS holders going to law school is something of the past, a relic of a less competitive age. Yes, a small number still do it, but it's harder than passing the California state bar without a JD.</p>
<p>Oh, and I agree that there is no need to go from a top-tier school to another top-tier school in order to affect your chances of getting into a top law school. I find that to be counterproductive in more ways than one.</p>
<p>However, the resources offered by UCLA versus CSULA are vastly different. UCLA is more likely to train you to be an effective thinker, writer, and serious student than CSULA is (despite its recognition as an excellent CSU). Now, is the difference between UCLA and Brown large enough to warrant choosing Brown just for the law school application? I doubt it. In fact, I doubt that it would even affect your education that noticeably, either. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, there is no arguing that the quality of the undergraduate program is a factor (if not a large one) in admissions. I doubt that CSU Nowhere is sending a grad off to Harvard Law anytime soon.</p>
<p>Okay, now I understand.</p>
<p>To be honest, I am really not sure. The counselor at Harvard Law School told me that community college students were admitted; I am uncertain as to whether it was a blanket statement, or whether it actually occurred during the last year of admissions.</p>
<p>There was at one point a very succinct manifest of students attending HLS, showing the numbers of students attending from each undergraduate school. Is anyone privy to this list's URL?</p>
