<p>Hey guys! </p>
<p>I want to major in economics/finance, and later go into law school. Which one has a better chance of allowing me to get into a better law school or find work after graduation?</p>
<p>Also, at both places, I have been recruited onto a sports team. However, I don’t have to go to a school where sports is a really big thing. I just want to do it for fun.</p>
<p>I want to go to a school where everyone is friendly and people don’t pressure you into partying and drinking. </p>
<p>Where should I go? Thanks!</p>
<p>

<p>The ONLY thing you need for law school is a high gpa (+mcat). And since BC is D1, which requires a huge time commitment, it will more difficult to obtain a high gpa in Chestnut Hill. (And no, top law schools don’t give much gpa leeway to athletes.)</p>
<p>That’s LSAT, BlueBayou. MCAT is for med school. But yes, high grades and ultra high LSAT will do it.</p>
<p>Visit both schools. Both fine schools but completely different.</p>
<p>sry about the alpha brain freeze. :D</p>
<p>As a lawyer, I would say both schools are exactly equal when applying to law school</p>
<p>So go to the one you like best.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I went to both schools last week, and I liked both in different ways. I know that BC’s economics is ranked higher, and I will be going to the management school. Will that make a difference when applying for law school or getting a job? </p>
<p>Also, I don’t really want to party in college. Is BC a really big party school like everyone says?</p>
<p>Clippersfan - you say in a diffrent post on the BC pages that you’re Christian. Just make sure you’ll be comfortable at Brandeis which has a pretty strong Jewish orientation and population. From what I hear and read there are lots of Christians at Brandeis and they have no problem feeling comfortable, but you ought to make sure for yourself.</p>
<p>in general, law schools prefer liberal arts degrees over what they consider vocational degress, i.e., business. Econ would be a better major in BC’s A&S.</p>
