How much does a college ranking affect employment after college? The college I'm going to is Top 150 overall in the country (United States) and I have an IT internship but I don't know if that's necessarily going to translate into Law School and getting a job.

it honestly depends on whats your job and how much in demand new employees are.
medecine = A LOT

art n stuff = not much

tech support. a bit. but nothing thats going to kill you.



but good grades and ratings is allways a good thing.

for IT it's not a big deal if you know your stuff well -- although a good school helps you get a foot in the door as recruiters usually go to the better schools. 

 

for law it can matter quite a bit depending on what specific field you want to be in.

Your knowledge level is far more important than the school you went to. I have interviewed ive league graduates who weren't as knowledgeable as people who went to the state colleges. 

 

A good school will probably get you an interview, a good knowledge base is what will get you a job. 

 

Good luck!

Ya I'm definitely worried about getting into Law School. The LSAT is what worries me the most.
