<p>cause i did</p>
<p>now its either northwestern with hpel or.. ucla electrical engineering</p>
<p>any opinions?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>If you are sure about law, go to NU's program. I don't know the difference in terms of undergrad EE program but my guess is it's probably not significant. It's not like UCLA's program being number 1 and NU's being 50th. If I recall correctly, UCLA's program is ranked like 13th while NU's is ranked like 28th. Not that much of a difference, I would say. Also, if you plan to become a lawyer instead of doing PhD in EE, that little difference become even more trivial. Northwestern's law school is one of the best in the nation and getting into any law school that is of the same caliber as (or higher) NU's law school is no walk in the park. If you forgo this opportunity now and fail to get decent GPA at UCLA (which isn't exactly easy since public U tends to have grade deflation), you will likely regret your decision.</p>
<p><a href="http://career.berkeley.edu/Law/lawStats.stm%5B/url%5D">http://career.berkeley.edu/Law/lawStats.stm</a> gives you some idea of the competition of getting into Northwestern's law school.</p>
<p>The admission to NU's law school has been very competitive even for students from Berkeley for the past couple years. Last year, 1 out of 17 got in while the year before, 1 out of 20!</p>
<p>wow. didnt know it was that competitive</p>
<p>do you know the statistics for the hpel program?
how many apply how many get in etc.</p>
<p>thanks again</p>
<p>There should be very few HPEL each year. I'd seen stats (though I can''t find it now) that said about 22 students at the law school (per class/year) went to NU undergrad. I'd guess only tiny fraction of them were HPELs.</p>
