planning to apply in 4th semester of sophomore year</p>
<p>intern at a law firm 5x a week </p>
<p>Go to Fairleigh Dickinson University (moderate university )</p>
<p>If you want to apply to CAS, I would retake the SATs, but if you want to apply to schools like CALS for instance as a AEM major, I would say you have a really good shot. just make sure you complete the requirements (something along the lines of english/speech, bio, econ, calc)</p>
<p>also if you intend to apply to law school…if you score above 170+ on the LSAT you’ll prob get into at least Columbia law with ur GPA, competitive at HLS also. so it might be more beneficial to you to stay at your college, continue your internship, and focus your time and efforts on LSAT prep</p>
<p>Yea, I know it’s based mostly upon LSAT and GPA, but I was just asking brown_transfer since he made the comment about Columbia law (4th in the nation.) It’s not a crucial factor, but I believe it’s a good idea to transfer to a higher caliber undergrad school.</p>
<p>In regards to your question, if you keep your grades up, you should be a competitive applicant. I’m not sure what school you’re applying for, but you should look into ILR.</p>
<p>im going to be applying to law schools, so i was interested in ILR and found out how much i was in love with the program. check it out, you might like it.</p>
<p>and if you do want to pursue ilr, take a microecnomics and stats before applying</p>
<p>ILR is Industrial and Labor Relations. its a great foundation and jump off if youre looking into a law career or law school. it focuses on labor law and labor relations (duh) but the courses you take can vary depending on what you want to do with it. ex: some kids might be taking a lot of city planning classes, where as i will be taking a lot of french and international classes.</p>
<p>it fits well for different types of people who share a general common notion of law.</p>
<p>yea i think you should stay unless u r confident u can get a similar GPA at cornell (which i hear is the ‘hardest’ ivy) IF u want to go to law school. i mean if u think u might want to work a bit before law school, i would say try and transfer, but im guessing u wont have problems even in ur current school since ur already doing a law internship. </p>
<p>after u get ur law degree, it basically overshadows ur undergrad degree so while it might feel good to have cornell AND columbia degrees, FDU and columbia law is not much different.</p>
<p>thanks for all ur help and advice on my thread btw good luck man</p>
<p>I don’t believe the people who say that Cornell is the hardest Ivy. In all likelyhood it is just as hard as the other Ivies, but is perceived as being more difficult because of its relatively academically weak student body. </p>
<p>Also, going to a more rigorous undergraduate is probably going to prepare you for the LSATs, but it isn’t worth it if it will require you to incur significantly more debt.</p>
<p>I was a little bit too vague there. I meant to say that it is academically weaker than Yale/Harvard/Princeton, and probably on par with the other Ivy League schools.</p>
<p>yeah that tends to be the general consensus on this site, that Y,H,P are all hopping in and out of each other while the other 4 just kinda do whatever they want.</p>
<p>regardless, all 8 schools are top notch and im thankful to be involved with one</p>
good luck man</p>
