The top twenty law schools though have quite the reputation. If you graduate from one of these you do have a few steps up the ladder from those who graduated from lower ranked schools. And the top five law schools grads get a lot of breaks no matter where you were in that class.

Same with medical schools I assume.

Degrees from Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and the U of Chicago do make a big difference. Access Denied
