<p>Hi</p>
<p>It's been a long time since I'd posted on here. Hmmm... I missed college discussion: its intensity (you are never good enough), crazy (sorry, but quite frankly) parents asking for their son's chances, international students speaking like 4 different languages, etc.... </p>
<p>Anyway, I'm here again, because I know people here know the best when it comes down to law school admissions and my chances. Recently, I got in the study abroad program at Cambridge, and I am wondering if going to UK could hurt my chance in law schools. </p>
<p>I just turned to a senior at UC Berkeley, and luckily I could finish all the requirement courses by the Fall 09 semester. Well, since I hope to study law after I finish my BA degree, I do not wish to pursue something without a plan. I want to know if I am risking my chances by going to UK. My GPA will be 3.75 (if I manage A- average) if I only stay in CAL for Fall. But If I choose not to go to Cambridge, the GPA could go around 3.8 and higher (if I work hard and schedule the classes loosely). </p>
<p>My plan in Cambridge is solely for an academic reason. I'm planning to take two Political Science classes in Cambridge and one European Geopolitics and one History of Art class =) Very excited to see European perspectives to global issues. On the other hand, if I choose to stay in the Bay Area, I plan to participate in loads of activities as well. Either going to UK or staying in the Bay, as youguys would too, I will try to make my experience the most valuable one. But I have to admit that I could participate in more community works in the Bay than in UK. With that said, is going to Cambridge still a smart choice? Should I postpone taking classes in UK later in future and focus on getting high GPA and serving for community for now? Timing is everything. I need help. Any comment will be appreciated!</p>
and I will think of your jealous face when I go to London and Paris. JK</p>
