<p>How is American University seen by the public, on an application, or law school application? I know that its not a top school but it seems to be pretty nice. </p>
<p>I got an awesome transfer scholarship there that makes it nearly the same amount as my state flagship and my major is polisci so thats cool. </p>
<p>It’s highly regarded for poli-sci (just not much for STEM fields but that shouldn’t concern you). it’ll be good for your resume, especially “Wednesday internships”, and it’ll be good for law schools. If you feel you can do well there, it’s a great choice for your major.
If you got an awesome transfer scholarship, take it 
(unless your State Flagship is Berkeley or Michigan or UVA or UNC CH in which case it’s reasonable to hesitate) )</p>
<p>Thanks for the input @MYOS1634 !</p>
