<p>I know this may sound like a stupid question. </p>
<p>I am choosing between NYU, BC, and possibly Brandeis and American U to attend for undergrad study. Which school would look 'better'/more prestigous on my resume when I apply to Law schools or job's after undergrad. Thanks.</p>
<p>Just my opinion....</p>
<p>If I were in your situation, my order would be: Brandeis, BC, and then American or NYU. That's for law school. "Jobs" is too vague - without a field or market, no one can begin to answer that question.</p>
<p>I'm old(er), so my opinion of NYU is not as high as yours - it's a school that has gotten drastically more competitive in recent years, but, IMO, it's just not the caliber of BC or Brandeis.</p>
<p>Do NOT be seduced by NYU Law's #4 ranking. It is the rare school which is significantly better than its undergrad (mostly from huge donations back in the '70s, if my memory serves me correctly) and does not have the reputation as its law school in pre-law.</p>
<p>If you want to stay in Massachusetts, consider BC to BC Law. The "double eagle" can go a long way in the Boston job market; also, from what I understand, BC favours its own undergrads in law school admissions.</p>
<p>Ariesathena, Thank you for your advice.
To further clarify the 'jobs' I was referring to: After college I would like the possiblity of a career in the finance field open. On a sidenote i was accepted to the Management school at BC and Gallatain at NYU.</p>
<p>yeah how the hell is NYU LAW so dam good, it just blows my mind, #4...yet, b/c of nyu's overal rep, i woudl choose like chicago, columbia, penn ove it</p>
<p>I'd probably pick NYU, then BC. NYU would almost certainly give you better options outside of law school. It's a much "hotter" school and academically as good as any of the other three. For all of Brandeis' apparent "pre-law" obsession, they're virtually unrepresented at any of the top law schools.</p>
<p>Well, NYU is famous worldwide as a top-notch research university with superior academics. BC is famous nationwide for Division 1 athletics. BC has a great alumni network, though, for which something must be said. You'll do fine applying to law school from either, so determining whether you want to spend 4-years in bustling New York City, or 4-years in quiet-little Newton may be more important.</p>
<p>def NOT american, I know no one there who enjoys it</p>
<p>I have never heard of Brandeis or American.</p>
<p>My opinion: NYU then BC.</p>
<p>Go to Brandeis!</p>
<p>I have a similar problem, should I go to Rice, WUSTLE, NYU, or USC if I want to get into a top law school? Would WUSTE or Rice have fewer opportunities for me since they are not located in very big cities, which would have more law firms and etc?</p>
<p>Why in the world would it matter how many law firms are in the same city as your undergrad?</p>
