I really can't say I would have gone to LSU if I were prospecting schools in 2021. LSU's academic rankings have tanked
Anyone that pays attention to quality of students that come out of these universities shouldn't look at these rankings at all. I work with Alabama, Auburn, UA-Huntsville, LSU, Georgia, Texas A&M and a bunch of other non-SEC grads. I haven't met one graduate from any of the SEC universities that i thought "Man this guy/girl is stupid. That is a direct reflection of the university". I can't really say the same for some of the other grads from some of the non-SEC schools

I used to work in law school admissions. Law schools literally only care about LSAT and GPA. They barely even read personal statements. The only time I ever saw an applicant's undergrad school come into question was someone who went to a for-profit school. Her LSAT was bad anyway so she was rejected, but I guarantee you if the LSAT was decent she would've been in. Half of recruiting is USNEWS rankings and LSAT/GPA medians are the top factor

I don’t think these top schools necessarily provide a much better education but there is a tendency that highly driven and motivated people will attend these elite schools. I have worked with MIT, Stanford, Cal, UCLA, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, etc grads and you really can see a difference, esp. how they approach and solve problems. However, there was this guy who attended Yale and he wasn’t really that bright or motivated at all.
