<p>Hi I am trying to decide between these two schools and I can't. I visited both campuses but I can't seem to make a decision, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice. Thanks! oh, and I'm looking into law school</p>
<p>Fordham lol. Seton Hall is an uber-safety.</p>
<p>Your stats, please? 2010 applications are a ways off yet. Fordham is still finishing up 2009 admittees and figuring out housing logistics etc.</p>
<p>3.7 GPA (4-yr public college) and lots of extracurriculars but I am a sophomore transfer and I was already admitted to both for fall '09 but I’m just hearing so many different accounts of the schools that I thought it would help to have outside input.</p>
<p>I may not have the strongest basis for this, but I feel like Seton Hall’s diplomacy program has more of a reputation (in a positive sense) than Fordham’s pre-law. Seton Hall’s well known for their diplomacy program and their connections with the UN, but I haven’t really heard much about Fordham’s pre-law program, which might be a telling sign.</p>
<p>Fordham has STRONG ties to the UN and sends kids there on internships frequently. Pre-law is sort of a misnomer anyway. Most law schools will tell you that they don’t look for any particular major when admitting students. Its all about the rigor of your major, your gpa and your LSAT score. </p>
<p>Fordham students, both in pre-law and other liberal arts types of majors, do extremely well on getting into law schools, including Harvard and Yale. Fordham Law is ranked number 25 in the country. Out of 250 law schools or so. I think Fordham’s pre-law has a program for early admission to law school, but its very very competitive and very, very rigorous. At the end of the day, I have to say, “why bother?” Sure you shave a year off your total schooling and “save money” but you give something up in the process too. There is something to be said for doing all four years at your undergrad. </p>
<p>I don’t trash schools or programs. I also don’t know a thing about Seton Hall’s Diplomacy Program. But Seton is considerably lower in the USNWR rankings. </p>
<p>If money is not an issue, then I would pick Fordham. And if you want to work at the UN, then get a Fordham internship there. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be mentioning Seton Hall and Fordham in the same sentence. While diplomacy I know is a specialty program at Seton Hall, the namebrand/prestige of your school is a determining factor. Anecdotally as a current Fordham student I know a few people interning at the UN this summer and I don’t have a massive network of friends by any means. Go to Fordham.</p>
<p>I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in diplomacy from Seton Hall university, and I can attest that the program is really good there. When I enter my first year I initially wanted to study law, but during that summer, I worked as an bilingual interpreter Add a municipal court which made me reconsider. While working at the municipal court, I experienced the reality in the bar with becoming a future lawyer Because I was able to have here on experience In the provision of bilingual interpreting services to clients and law enforcement. Every day was a new experience because of the wide variety of cases needed to be handled which deemed not being the right fit for my career goals. During my second year of college I declared diplomacy as my major and worked at other organisations including The UN. but overall, it was a very rewarding in interesting experience so the school of international relations at Seton Hall University wife a great fit because of the many opportunities I took advantage of during the course of my undergraduate studies</p>
<p>@Pritilu09 I am happy that you found a course of study that interests you. However, you need to proofread any written material you send to potential employers or grad schools. Your grammar demonstrates that English is not your first language. After obtaining a degree at a US university, this should not be so evident. Make sure you double check whatever you send out. Best of luck. </p>
