<p>live in East shore of Maryland, I go to Wor-Wic community college and have completed 30 credits in a Gen. Studies AA degree track.I have a 3.893GPA and am in various honors programs and E.C's are very deeply rooted into my life and huge part of my admission story
I would like to go out of state for undergrad(UVA/Duke), but knowing how much the financial aid offices favor keeping in state residents in state for their education, I would be open to staying in state.UMD College Park would be where I would like to transfer if I have to stay in state for financial reasons. I was wondering if i should go for the UMD Honors Program and get a B.A in Philosophy, or go for their more highly ranked (#1 in nation according to US News rankings) Criminology program? My goal is to go to law school and become an attorney (not sure specialization yet, but if criminology tract is chosen, probably a criminal defense att'y or prosecutor. Any feedback would be great.</p>
<p>I was also thinking of maybe doing a pre-med track in preperation for some type of health-care related law field. Would likely get a degree in pre-med from UMD:CP or Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>What do you all think is best track to take for my goal of going to Top Tier Law school such as Yale/Harvard/UCBerkely/etc....?</p>
<p>Btw, my GPA so far is 3.893 and I take honors courses and have only gotten 1 B (a 89% in Health class) and am a member of Phi Theta Kappa and the Honors program designation. Plan on being the SGA and PTK presidents in Fall. Also starting a soup kitchen in a local resort town stricken with homelessness. these are just some of my stats and goals. I also have gotten a 170 on a practice Lsat test and my range is 164-173 on these LSATS ive found on some sites that have old tests.</p>
