<p>I have been accepted into UGA (and the honors program) but have also been accepted into UVA UNC-chapel hill and Washington and Lee. I want to go to UGA because it is close and i know that it is a great place to be (and because i get in-state and hope scholarship), but i am afraid that if i do not go to a better school, I will be unable to get into a good graduate or law school after undergrad. I have heard that since UGA admissions has gotten so tough in the past few years, it is not impossible to get into a good grad. school after graduating from Georgia (especially if you graduate from honors program). Would you advise staying in state for undergrad. or paying alot more to go to a better school out of state?</p>
<p>I'd personally recommend saving your money and going to UGA. I may be a bit biased since I'm attending UGA in the fall (lol) but law schools don't really care what school you go to for undergrad (unless it's Harvard I guess) as long as you do well on the LSATs, have a good GPA, etc. You could probably get an education of equal quality at UGA Honors as you would at your other choices...you should also look at UGA's law school placement stats if it concerns you that much...but it's up to you whether you take advantage of the resources available or slack off...no matter where you go. A school's name alone isn't going to get you to where you want to go...</p>
<p>where can i see those UGA law school placement stats?</p>
<p>I'm probably more biased than bluthundersince I'm going to Georgia Tech, but I too would encourage you to go to UGA. Those out of state colleges may give you a slightly better education, but doing well on your LSAT and maintaining a high GPA at UGA is definitely better. From my knowledge, grad schools are more about the numbers than undergrad schools are. Save your money, save yourself some stress, and save yourself the time- just go to UGA.</p>
<p>Law schools don't really care where you went to for undergrad. They just want to see a great GPA and a really high LSAT.</p>
