<p>This is a hugely general question. There are numerous schools on the east coast (which, after all, runs from Maine to Florida) which have fine political science departments (and by the way, there is no such thing as “pre-law”). If you provide your stats and some sense of what kind of school you’re looking for–LAC vs. university; size of student body; location (urban vs. rural vs. suburban); and climate; and discuss your need for financial aid, if any, you might be able to get some guidance. Note that if you haven’t taken the SAT or ACT yet, it will be harder to suggest suitable schools, since for most colleges test scores are a major issue in admissions.</p>
