<p>I want to go to law school after undergrad, which one will be most effective in getting me into the top law schools in the country? </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>The one where you get the best grades and LSAT scores.</p>
<p>Yea, but I mean in terms of reputation and resources?</p>
<p>Personally, I'd pick between Cornell and NYU and from there.... pretty different schools. Location is extremely different and you've applied into two very different major areas. I think this would be one of the choices you have to make yourself.... comparisons - ivy vs. non ivy, small town vs. ... NY, and of course engineering vs. business</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Very different and u need to figure out wat ur the most passionate about. Great job in getting into such great schools, ur predicament is definitely a nice one. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Hi!</p>
<p>How about bioengineering major between Cornell, Duke and UVA. Which school is better to pick up?</p>

<p>Thanks, yea I understand what you are saying. So you think that either is capable of allowing me to enter a good law school?</p>

<p>Law school? Well I believe NYU law is considerably stronger than Cornell, and being an NYU undergrad might give you a <em>slight</em> leg up. Again though, in the end, if you study engineering you'll probably be a quite different lawyer than if you study business, up to you to pick and choose now</p>
<p>@house80 - my rather unresearched view is that Cornell would be strongest with its bioengineering major, may I suggest that you make google your friend</p>
<p>Stern is known for grade deflation. Which =/= good for law school.</p>
<p>Yea, I agree with that, and just to throw another twist in, I also got accepted at Rice, what should I do now?</p>
<p>cornell engineering will not be conducive to ur GPA</p>
<p>So i've heard, but you think its possible to maintain a decent GPA?</p>
<p>engineering provides a basis for law that you can't really get in another degree. engineering provides a very unique way of looking at problems. I had a friend who got a chemical engineering degree and the government was willing to pay for her to go to law school and then become a lawyer for them.</p>
<p>Wow! Thanks for the insight Vivace -- I didn't know that engineering could transition into a law career</p>
<p>Having a unique degree would always seem to give u a leg up. Imagine being a lawschool looking at applicants - business, business, business, business, pre-law, pre-law, pre-law, business, business, business, business, pre-law, pre-law, pre-law, business, business, business, business, pre-law, pre-law, pre-law, CORNELL ENGINEERING! lol nice lil example there ;) It's always nice to have sum1 who has a different view point. (especially since Cornell Engineering has a great rep. Best engineering school out of all of the Ivys.)</p>
<p>People who go into patent law often have undergraduate engineering degrees.</p>
