College Search & Selection

<p>I was offered admission at Rice, UChicago, and Dartmouth. Rice offered me $16.3k per year, UChicago none, and haven't heard yet on fin aid from Dartmouth but my family is pretty well-off so probably not much need-based.</p>

<p>Also I was waitlisted at Duke, UPenn, and Amherst. I haven't yet heard from Pomona. (Should I stay on the waitlists? Does Pomona compare to any of those where I was accepted already?)</p>

<p>I plan to major in political science and want to pursue a career in law, which school would you recommend?</p>

<p>What other factors going into your decision are you looking at? The three schools are wildly different and will all be helpful to you in pursuing a law career.</p>

<p>South, northern midwest, New England.</p>

<p>Hot and humid, cold and windy, cold and snowy.</p>

<p>Suburban, urban, semi-rural.</p>

<p>I won't even get into student stereotypes.</p>

<p>All of these schools will serve you very well for getting into law school. You need to think about the setting you would prefer for the next four years.</p>

<p>I highly recommend some visits--maybe even if you have already been there.</p>

<p>If money is not a big concern, just go with your gut. Any of the three will get you where you want to be in the end. There is no wrong choice.</p>
