I got money from my UG and my numbers were barely median.... I htink it helped me.

I believe UCLA is the same way. The law school tries to diversify.

At some schools, like W&M, word is that it actually hurts your chances a little.

+ 1. Some schools hate their UG students, such as Chicago.

...and Michigan.

I know that my undergrad told me directly that they "like to hold on to our own".

I imagine that there is also a public/private school difference.
