Will Harvard Law look closely at how rigorous the undergraduate majors, undergraduate schools are? Does double majoring help?

You might get a slight bump, but as a general rule, the quality of the school and the difficulty of the major(s) aren't as important as even one LSAT or GPA point. Sad, but true. I could have a bachelor's degree in basket weaving from my local poorly ranked liberal arts college and you could have a degree in physics from Yale, but if I had a 3.5/170 and you had a 3.5/169, I'd probably get into most law schools over you. Numbers matter more than almost any soft factor you could present because law school numbers determine rankings, and rankings determine the pool of applicants they receive each year.

Harvard receives so many applications each year that they can really afford to be selective. They won't be dinged for picking me, the basket weaver, over you, the double engineering and physics major (for example). They'll get a ratings boots for attracting people with better numbers, even if those numbers don't mean that much.

Harvard really cares about GPA. Some schools are LSAT focused; others are GPA focused. Harvard's GPA standards are much more difficult than its LSAT standards. So, if your GPA is lower than 3.74 (its 25th percentile!), then your LSAT needs to be at or over its 75th percentile: >176.
