<p>I am looking for a solid Pre-Law/liberal arts/Political Science curriculum. Which of these colleges that I was accepted to would suit my academic interests the best and provide a good overall experience? A sort of ranking of the Political Science prestige of each of these would help!</p>
<p>Boston College
UCLA
USC
UNC-Chapel Hill
NYU
Wake Forest
Bucknell</p>

All very different environments (and likely different costs)...you can ask questions and visit, but ultimately only you can answer this question.</p>
<p>Is money an issue?</p>
<p>i am more concerned with the prestige of their respective political science program and which are known for committment to the liberal arts...</p>
<p>I'm a big fan of private schools for undergrad (when money is not an issue). Personally, I would go to either BC, Wake, or USC. Although UCLA may be the strongest name on the list. I'd cut off NYU and Bucknell though -- both are a level below the rest (although still great schools).</p>
<p>UCLA is by far and away the superior institution of those listed. The only school I would consider otherwise would be UNC-Chapel Hill (I assume). If money is an issue, than go to the least expensive school.</p>
<p>Boston College sounds best, from the commitment to liberal arts and prestige point of view.</p>
<p>BC and BC Law School have produced about half of the prominant political figures from Massachusetts in the past 50 years, including Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, & Sen. John Kerry (BC Law). If you're interested in political internships, it's the only one on your list that's in a state capital.</p>
