Agree with @mountainsoul about Penn clubs. Yes, many clubs require an application process - some more of a commitment that others - but you’ll find what you like.
As a CAS student, you should not expect much access to Wharton. You will have only limited availability to some introductory Wharton classes, and Wharton kids will be given preference if the class is limited. Also, there are only a few university minors available to non-Wharton students: University Minors - Undergrad Inside
If you are just saying that biology is not required to attend law school and then do med mal, then yes, you are correct. If, OTOH, you are saying a med mal attorney needs clinical understanding at the level of someone who went to med school, then that is absolutely not the case.
For the OP, Med Mal is the plaintiffs bar, or for the lawyer haters, ambulance chasers. I don’t practice within 100 miles of this area, but as it happens I know the two top PI attorneys in the state of Washington, and attended law school with another who is about to join them as his practice has really taken off. All three have a three things in common:
Med mal is about having experts and consultants in your portfolio of services. Sure, over time you learn a few things, but put it this way - if I were having a heart attack on a flight, I would not breath a sigh of relief to know that a Med mal attorney were on board.
And what @blossom said is absolutely true. Med mal is not “prestigious” and is not something that exists solely (or even mostly) within the province of the elite educated, although my law school classmate who does it went to Yale (and majored in history). The only area of practice where I think a particular undergraduate prep is common and maybe even necessary is patent work. You tend to find engineers and other people with hard science backgrounds in that area.
Also, Brown is wonderful - I agree with your positive assessments of it, and I guess disagree with your con that it is the “easy Ivy”. I’m not sure what that means but I wouldn’t put much stock in that sort of general rep kind of information. Also, there is no relevance to Brown (or any school) not having a law school nearby. Getting into law school is straightforward, and if you have any questions for current law students you can certainly find many ways with which to connect - just as you’re doing here.
And OP hit the nail on the head. The campus is beautiful, the surrounding neighborhood is lovely as well, close to Providence which is a severely underrated and nice small city, and it’s close to water and nice outdoor activities in all directions. My kid, and we, absolutely love it. Touring Penn both times, it didn’t grab us the way Brown did.
OP hasn’t been here for a while but has made a decision by now. If OP would like to update, please let us know by flagging this post and clicking the “something else” option.
