Re: I tend to agree but
There are quite a few engineering/science majors that go on to law school (myself included). On the other hand, it's still a very small percentage that do it.
There are also plenty of law schools that have specialized programs in intellectual property (the typical career path for an engineer/science major going to law school). The fact that many of these schools also have decent engineering/science undergrad programs, however, is not at all relevant to their law school program. There's just no overlap. In fact, even in the intellectual property field it's the big name, highly regarded law schools (Michigan, Harvard, etc.) that get students A LOT more attention than the schools with specialized programs.
Also, apart from the biotech area (and possibly chemistry), an advanced degree in engineering or science really doesn't do all that much for an IP attorney. For most people, it's a waste of their time if they really want to be a patent attorney. Get a BS degree from a good school like Purdue, then go get your law degree from the best law school you can get into (and afford)--or, from a decent law school, but you better finish in the top 10-15% of your class.
