Good midwestern/southern colleges?

<p>I'm from Maryland and I'm completely adamant against going to Maryland, Delaware and Towson which is the norm for my area. I get all A's and B's, I've gotten fours/fives on all seven APs I've taken, I'm a member of NHS and SGA, and I'll be doing an internship at a law office next year. My GPA is 3.6 unweighted and I tested extremely well on my SATs, I got a 590 on my Math portion and 700s on both the reading and writing portions.</p>

<p>So really I'm looking at some LACs, but mostly larger universities in mid-atlantic region/south and the Midwest. I really like Minnesota but as I remember their pre-law program isn't really spectacular. I would prefer a big sports atmosphere with reasonably good academics. I'm not aiming for Ivies here but not an Ole Miss either.</p>

<p>What is your CR score? Your M+CR score is what really counts at many schools. </p>

<p>What is your budget? How much will your parents pay? It sounds like your Math + CR is around a 1320, which isnt’ high enough for much/any merit at many better schools. If it is higher, there may be some merit opportunities at schools above Ole Miss.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you mean by a “pre-law program”. What is that? Schools don’t really have “pre-law programs”. You can major in whatever you want. Some schools may recommend including some Poly Sci, History, Communications, Philosophy, etc classes, but schools don’t usually have a “pre law program,” since law schools don’t care about those things.</p>

<p>Well, math majors have the highest LSAT scores, and Minnesota has a good math department.</p>

<p>Cost constraints and financial aid situation will affect your choices.</p>

<p>Many schools in the south offer <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships-14.html#post15330528[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships-14.html#post15330528&lt;/a&gt; .</p>

<p>maybe Tulane or UMiami, in the south.</p>
