Which schools for Harvard Law?

<p>What colleges have a high acceptance rate for
1)Harvard Law
2)Yale law
3)Stanford
4)U of Chicago
5)Columbia</p>

<p>harvard, yale, princeton, etc. basically all the ivies, stanford, and schools like Northwestern, UofC, Duke, etc.</p>

<p>Here's a list of what colleges are represented by this year's Harvard Law School class...really shows that you can get to Harvard Law coming from anywhere. Although, the colleges most represented would be the ones listed by Hope2getrice.</p>

<p>great link and post. I bet this will give encouragement and motivation to many students out there. You really don't have to attend an ivy league undergrad to get into a good graduate school. Studying hard and earning good grades is more important than the name of the school you attend. </p>

<p>Just curious, any links like that for Harvard Med?</p>

<p>Too bad it doesn't give the number of students from each school.</p>

<p>here was a post i posted on the subject (though its a bit dated now)</p>

<p>I took this information from a post of mine from a few years ago. I think that the information on undergraduate schools represented might be the most recent made available by HLS:</p>

Undergraduate Schools of J.D. Students Enrolled at Harvard Law School in 2005-2006 (this comes straight from the HLS website)</p>

<p>These undergraduate schools are represented by more than 30 students each at HLS - Brown (51), Columbia (44), Cornell (40), Dartmouth (31), Duke (55), Georgetown (33), Harvard (232), Princeton (65), Stanford (91), UCal-Berkeley (43), UCLA (41), Penn (53) and Yale (126). </p>

<p>Here is sampling of many other schools that are represented - Amherst (16), BC (3), CUNY (1), Colgate (1), Denison (1), Emory (14), FSU (2), GW (8), Howard (8), Michigan State (3), NYU (17), Ohio State (5), Pepperdine (1), Penn State (7), Rice (17), SUNY Binghamton (3), Syracuse (1), Temple (1), Texas A&M (1), TCU (1), Trinity (1), Tulane (3), U of Alabama (2), UCSB (3), UConn (1), U of Georgia (7). U of Maryland (6), UNC (13), Notre Dame (12), U of San Francisco (2), UVA (23), U of Wisconsin (5), Wake Forest (1), Washington and Lee (5), Wichita State (2), Williams (13). </p>

<p>Now, there are over 120 undergraduate schools that send students to HLS. I argue that where you go to school for your undergraduate degree matters, in this case, because it's easier to get 1 of 91 spots that were given to Stanford students than 1 of 1 spots given to students from UConn. </p>

<p>Yes, I've made a lot of assumptions here. First, these are enrolled student numbers, but I'm assuming that they reflect to some degree the number of students from any particular undergraduate school who were admitted (this is Harvard Law, right?). Second, I'm generalizing Harvard's admissions numbers to other top law schools. I base this both on my own assumptions and my real life experience in law school and as an employer recruiting on campus at top schools. Third, I have not taken size of undergraduate institution into account here (i.e. a bigger college will lead to more applicants and more "chances" for admission from a particular undergraduate school). That said, there are huge schools that don't send very many students to HLS at all, despite their size. I've made other assumptions as well.

<p>Looking at the Harvard grid numbers it is fairly obvious that Harvard undergraduates are pretty dang likely to find a place at HLS if they have 172/3.5 type stats and above. I'd have to go look, but I don't think anyone with a 173/3.5 or above got rejected or W/D last year. I could be wrong though.</p>

<p>Nooob, I couldn't find any links directly from Harvard Medical Schools about what undergraduate schools kids came from, but you should look at the link below which has the profiles of kids that got into Harvard Med. While the list is definitely not complete, it will give you a good idea of what schools are represented.</p>

<p>Edit...
Just go to mdapplicants.com and on the front page do a search to see profiles for acceptances to Harvard.</p>

<p>Is there a link for the conversion of SAT and LSAT scores?</p>

<p>Mikecerang, don't rely on any supposed correlation between SAT and LSAT scores. They are two very different tests.</p>

<p>There's a lot of relevant data on this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/662310-ranking-undergrad-highest-acceptance-rates-law-school.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/662310-ranking-undergrad-highest-acceptance-rates-law-school.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
