<p>Ok so.. I was accepted into gw and nyu gallatin, but now i'm stuck!!!!! I'm completely at a loss as to where I should go.. any helpful info is appreciated.
A little background - graduated comm college with associates in business admin. My major at gw would be sociology, my concentration at gallatin would deal with sociology/ethics/law. I plan to attend law school after getting a BA. Tentative law schools I may apply to: gw, nyu, georgetown, fordham, american, brooklyn law. Thinking about big law, corporate law, contract law (so probably in nyc)
-I've been around both campuses a bunch (worked at gw, have family in the village), they are equally alright to me, no preference.
-I'm not "wowed" by the urban scene (I'm not one of those who applied just because of the location)
-I don't worry about not having a traditional college experience on a traditional campus
-I will not be living in a dorm, I'm basically engaged (relationship-wise) so parties, drinking, and trying to meet a bunch of new people isn't tops on my list
-I want to focus on my career, internships, gpa
-Pro NYU - I like to have "things to do" and I would move to an area just for a wider selection of restaurants (food is a big hobby, I actually used it as the subject of my application essays!)
-Con NYU - its so damn loud/unrelaxing
-Pro GW - a bit slower paced, enjoyable
-Pro NYU - I love that I can create my own concentration
-Pro GW - the family home is 10 mins away so I have the option of returning home if I need anything (food haha)</p>
<p>Well, as you can see, I'm quite torn. Does it really matter that much which one I choose for undergrad? If I were to get the same gpa at both schools, which would help me more for law school admission? Does one have more clout with admissions? Which would YOU choose??
Oh, and I'm getting 10k scholarships at both places.. so they are pretty much equal-ish in price.</p>
