Does your undergraduate school attended matter for law school admissions or is it all about your GPA and LSAT?

Answer 1

For the most part, your undergraduate institution will not make a difference in your opportunity for admission to the nation's top law schools. There is some debate regarding whether Harvard Law School, Yale Law School and Stanford Law School give an additional boost to candidates with Harvard, Yale and/or Princeton pedigrees but if that boost exists, it would be trivial anyways. Far more important than any other factor in your application is your LSAT score and your undergraduate GPA. While the admissions offices might say that they are looking at more than your numbers, I wouldn't count on anything other than your GPA and your LSAT getting you into the law school of your choice.
