  Too many factors to give a meaningful answer. Depends on what your undergraduate experience was like.

  @10000019 for instance, effort or other factors?

  Sorry this is not answering your question, but I can't resist the urge to say that I immediately thought of the riddled basin of attraction RC passage when I see the word "riddle" ...It's a sign I've been thinking about RC quite a lot lately haha

  Agree with @10000019 tat there are too many factors to answer the question meaningfully. I don't think many people would say that law school is easier than undergrad, but as we get older we hopefully get better at the skills needed to do well in law school. I also think that a very big factor is the fact that if you're in law school we can generally assume you're decently smart and want to do well. So along with maturity, just the fact that law school is going to generally have smarter people might make it seem easier/harder for some.

  I also think you might be on to something @combsni in that perhaps the fact that we aren't taking such a large variety of classes may make it seem easier/harder for individuals. If you're a strong reader/writer/have good study habits, etc, then you'll likely think law school is easier than a bunch of the, say, physics classes we were required to take in college.

  Also, the curve at many of the top schools makes getting anything below a B- pretty hard. So you'd have to factor that in too.
