<p>ok. i need you guys to do something but i hope there wont be any display of superiority complex among students of these undergrad schools. they are all great but i just want you to rank them according to a.) prestige recognized by top law schools and b.) most students who usually get high LSAT scores.
here they are:
nyu, notredame, georgetown, duke, and uchicago.
thanks. and again, these are undergrad schools not law schools.</p>
<p>Chic/NYU/DUke-GTOWN/ND</p>
<p>howkie dowkie... anybody else?</p>
<p>you can pull up the statistical information about the LSAT on various websites, at least of those who apply to law school (as some may take it and not apply for various reasons).</p>
<p>You may be assuming that if you go to one of the colleges which has more students with high LSATs--actually, I've never seen any data except for median LSAT, which isn't quite the same--you'll get a higher LSAT yourself. I don't think that should be assumed. Personally, I don't think if Joe Schmoe goes to Harvard he'll get a higher LSAT than he will if he goes to UChicago, even though H often has a median LSAT about 5 points higher than Chicago's . While I've never seen the data, I've got a very strong hunch that if you ranked the colleges you've listed in order of their median SAT score and in order of their median LSAT score, the ranking wouldn't change much. So, don't assume that the LSATs earned by the students at any given college are the result of the fact the students attended that college rather than another one. </p>
<p>I do think the COURSES you take can affect the LSAT score you get, but that's a different thing all together than the college you attend affecting it. </p>
<p>If I've jumped to all sorts of false conclusions as to why you asked for this data, I apologize.</p>
<p>Go to the undergrad with the most prestige and rigor, if you're simply looking for the highest LSAT scores.</p>
