Computer Science/Pre-Law Colleges

<p>I already have many colleges in mind, but I want to make sure I am not overlooking anything.</p>

<p>I want to major in computer science, but I would like to go to law school afterwords. It doesn't necessarily have to be at the same university though. I'm looking for some of the best schools possible. I would prefer a college out of state (TX) that provides a good amount of financial aid. A big city would be nice.</p>

<p>I am already planning applying to:
-Stanford (Applied SCEA)
-Harvard
-MIT (Brother goes there)
-Carnegie Mellon
-UT Austin (Safety)</p>

<p>Also I was thinking of Cornell possibly. I'm not sure why, but something about it just sounds like I might want to go there. </p>

<p>I want some less competitive schools to add, just in case the others don't go through.</p>

<p>Sorry, and I completely understand if you have left CC because you got into college and have moved on with your life, but I was wondering if you could give me an update, where did you end up going? Do you still plan on majoring in law? What did your college major end up as?</p>

<p>OP goes to Stanford. This is one of his post in the Stanford forum</p>

<p>"After I got in SCEA, I continued with all my other applications (Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon). I already had fee waivers for them, and I wanted to compare financial aid offers. I was rejected to HP, and accepted to the rest. MIT was the wildcard in the mix. I visited their campus preview weekend, and it was amazing. However, I decided to stick with Stanford. I don’t regret my decision as of yet :stuck_out_tongue: "</p>

<p>Stanford might not actually be the optimal choice for a pre-law CS major, if the intention is to go into patent law, since Stanford’s CS major is not ABET-accredited. However, a student in a non-ABET-accredited CS major can qualify for the patent exam by taking specified course work, as described in <a href=“http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/oed/GRB_March_2012.pdf[/url]”>http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/oed/GRB_March_2012.pdf&lt;/a&gt; (see pages 4-6).</p>

<p>It said in his location he went to Stanford…</p>
