<p>because they don’t have the resources to assess every Masters program in the country to see where they stack up against others, how challenging they are, etc. They won’t even include your Master’s courses in the GPA calculation. plus, a master’s really doesn’t prepare someone more for LS than regular UG does. However, as I said earlier, the master’s will help you after LS when you are on the job/searching for a job, so if you want to do patent law, you should probably get the MA</p>
