<p>How's Fordham? I'm doing a 3 + 3 program. If I want to continue with it I need to go to a school that has it. So far, I know Columbia Law, Fordham, and Albany Law school participate. Columbia is obviously the best choice because of its rank, but how does Fordham compare? I'm trying to find more law schools that allow a student to pull their 1L credits to graduate at their undegrad institution. I am saving a good amount of money doing the 3 + 3 program, so I want to continue with it if I can. If I get a super high LSAT, I will definitely go for an extra semester or whatever it takes to get to a school that is in the T-14. However, my SAT wasn't high. I don't know how much hope I will have on the LSAT. So, it looks like Columbia and Fordham are my best chances because my school can nominate me into those two law schools if I do very well.</p>
<p>anyone got any suggestions?</p>
<p>Fordham is probably one of the best options outside the T-14, if you want to work in New York after graduation.</p>
<p>If you graduate near the top of your class from Fordham and preferably make law review, you'll be fine in New York at pretty much any firm. If you want to leave New York, then Columbia is the way to go.</p>
<p>One of my problems is i scored around a 1220/1600 on the SAT's. I know I didn't prep enough, but that is such a terrible score. Based on that I would say chances are not high for a 170.</p>
<p>^ I see....if you want honesty, most people who test in the 170s on the LSAT did in fact test pretty high on the SAT (without prep), but there are some people who improve as test-takers for one reason or another over their 4 years in college. </p>
<p>Take a full length, real timed LSAT diagnostic and see what you get. It will be your best estimator.</p>
<p>Also, Fordham is good and marketable in New York.</p>
<p>At most schools the Columbia 3+3 program is nominal only...</p>
<p>What do you mean by nominal? I looked through some resources and it says that my school nominates exceptional students for acceptance provided they meet certain criteria. Is this what you mean? I'm a bit confused on how this nomination process works.</p>
