Alumna LOR Bump?

Post by burner » Sun Mar 23, 2014 5:25 pm

How much of an admissions bump is it to have an LOR from an alumna of the law school I'm applying to? For example, one of my LORs is from my Business Law lecturer who earned her J.D. from a school I really want to attend. I know it won't hurt to have it, but do you think it will help my case in any noticeable way? She did sign under her name "J.D., class of 1996"

Thanks

It is said that SLS puts slightly more stock into targeted letters from alumni. Whether or not that is true in all cases is a harder question to answer.
