GWU vs U of R

[hopeful1]

<p>Interested in attending a top law school.
Rochester is smaller and has a top 10 poli sci dept.
Rochester may have an edge in academics overall.
After visiting I observed a more serious higher academic atmosphere at Rochester although the GWU Honors program is excellent.
GWU has plenty of internship opportunities.
Rochester has solid opportunties too but they are somewhat different.</p>

<p>Assuming I had the same GPA and LSAT at either school which would better prepare me for entrance to law school?</p>

<p>I am looking for a challenging school with prof interaction as well as numerous social activities.</p>

<p>Any comments?</p>

<p>You may want to post this in the Law School forum.</p>

<p>Having said that, with identical GPA and LSAT scores, your chances are equal. The important thing, at least as I glean from the Law forum, is not to major in anything that has "studies" in the name - look for a major that is respected. Could be anything from Psych, to history, to math. </p>

<p>GW's law school is in the top 25 in the nation, so it's law school is higher-rated than its undergrad (if you care about ranking).</p>
