Useless without the school, really.

Can't be that bad a school. Spider-Man went there!

Didn't Spider Man go to Columbia?

“The University at the end [where Banner meets with Samuel Sterns] is Columbia University. Columbia University in the Marvel world, especially in the ‘Spider Man’ world, is Empire State University,” the director explained. “I wanted some kind of shot where you’re like, ‘Oh my god. Is that Peter Parker?’ That would have been fun!”

Unfortunately for Leterrier, crossovers begin and end with the properties Marvel has total control of – no matter how hard you ask. And “Spider-Man” all its many names, places, and stories therein, belong to Sony. But while he quickly realized that he wouldn’t be able to get Tobey Maguire (no matter how much he wanted to), Leterrier thought a compromise could be reached. No dice, he sighed.

“I just wanted to call it Empire University – to treat it like a coherent world,” he recalled. “And Sony, who has the rights to Spidey, didn’t want us to do that. It was a small thing but something we couldn’t do.”

So while it may not matter where you went to undergrad to the adcomms, if you're positive you want to go to law school you may be better suited choosing an undergrad that inflates grades ridiculously (like most Ivy's or top rated schools) or go somewhere with much less prestige, that costs less, has a higher quality of life and puts you up against a bunch of less qualified competition. Because it's been proven time and time again, your 3.9 from ABC State University is worth a hell of a lot more than a 3.3-3.4 from some school ranked between 5-30 on the US News World Report rankings.
