<p>I would just like to clear this up for myself. I know the better choice is UC, but I would like opinions. Which one would better help me in Law? I am still uncertain of what type of lawyer I will be(corporate, civil, or constitutional). I plan to work on my JD after college.</p>
<p>all other things being equal, grad schools prefer a Uni degree vs. a State Uni degree.</p>
<p>UCI is better for pre-law, and has a decent Political Science program. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>UC Irvine for sure.</p>

<p>I doubt that, where do you get this info? And according to this then grad schools would prefer a degre from university of alaska over penn state</p>
<p>Cal State Northridge, eh? Must have been a desparate safety. Definitely go Irvine.</p>

<p>i think drew00 was meaning Uni degree as in the flagship research institution that prepares students to go to grad school or work after graduation whereas State Uni is typically a comprehensive college that prepares people to work after graduation. </p>
<p>of course, there are exceptions in name, like you mentioned, penn state is the flagship public research university of the state of pennsylvania.</p>
<p>ok, UC-I it is. :)</p>
<p>I only live with my mom, and my EFC is 0, so does anyone know if it's possible to get a full ride to UCI? Or enough money where I can pay it off with work-study and loans for the next 4 years? I will be a freshmen in Fall '06 and have gotten $13,600 in grants so the rest will come out of work-study and loans. Does the grant amount vary each year too?</p>
<p>Any comments?</p>
<p>you will definetly get aid having an efc of zero. they will mostl ikely meet your need 100 percent but do realize meeting a persons need does not consist of a full ride in terms of you not having to pay anything. you will need to do work study and what not.</p>
<p>Yea, I'm aware of that, but the more the aid, the less loans I take out because I plan to take out a loan for law school(after college) which is probably going to be a big amount.</p>
