The two primary variables used by law schools in evaluating candidates are the student's LSAT score and undergraduate GPA. The size of the school is irrelevant, except to the extent that the law school's admissions committee considers the difficulty of that school's academic curriculum, relative to other schools.

Further, the candidate's LSAT score is arguably the "great equalizer", in terms of school variability among all candidates. A student from an average undergraduate school, with a high LSAT score, at least in theory, should have an equal chance of acceptance as a candidate from a top undergraduate institution with a lower LSAT score.

Exactly how the LSAT/undergraduate GPA calculus works relative to any given law school is somewhat of a mystery, however most law schools do publish median LSAT/GPA acceptance grids. As a result, most students should have a pretty good idea of their probability of acceptance at a law school, based upon their own LSAT and GPA.

Regardless, a student from a small college, with decent grades and a good LSAT score should have ample choices, in terms of law schools. And given that most student's GPAs are largely established by the time they begin to think about law school, the best advice for any prelaw is to focus as much time and energy as possible on the LSAT, in order to improve their overall chance of acceptance at their "dream" law school.
