Top Law Schools

Is there any advantage or disadvantage of applying to the College of Law (Law School) associated with the school where you got your undergrad degree?

For Example, If i got my undergrad degree in Finance from the University of Florida and I apply to the University of Florida College of Law will that help me in any way, hurt me or is it a non issue?

Thanks

Mainly a non issue. For the most part it isn't going to hurt you. There is a small chance it may help you, but that is not likely.

It doesn't matter enough to consider, except that the Ivies seem to look out for their own a little.

There's really no boost because often the UG has the highest number of matriculants at the LS. Only matters if the LS has an in-state quota and you fill it.

Thanks. I figured that. I was hoping that it would help my chances

It won't do much, but I think it could help you out a little if, say, they are trying to choose between you and someone with the same numbers who went to a lower-ranked state school (e.g. University of Central Florida or University of South Florida). UF believes its undergrad is more difficult than UCF or USF, so they would probably give you a little break on GPA.
