<p>I am looking at colleges and I really like some of the smaller LACs that I have seen, Dickinson in paticular. However, I have heard different things about how a school like this would look when I apply to law school. Does anyone know how schools like Dickinson are looked at when applying to grad school?</p>
<p>man i hated Dickinson when i was there over the summer.</p>
<p>dont go.</p>
<p>If you graduate at the top of the class at Dickinson, you would have a legitimate shot at any graduate or professional school in the country.</p>
<p>bobbobbob, why did you hate Dickinson? I'd be really interested to know because I'm seriously considering to apply ED there next year.</p>
<p>As interesteddad states, if you have excellent grades and good LSAT or GRE scores, you will have a great shot at any grad or professional program no matter where you attend college.</p>
<p>My hubby is involved in admitting students to a top graduate program at UW-Madison. They enroll anywhere from 45-70 students in the Ph.D program each year. He says that accepted students are split about 50-50 from large well known universities and lesser known LACs. If they are interested in a candidate from a school they don't know much about they will research to find out more about the school. However, that shouldn't be a problem with Dickinson.</p>
<p>spacemancraig- Just to clarify, law school and medical school are professional schools. Grad school is for a MS or PhD.</p>
<p>Oh, thanks.</p>
<p>well i was there later spring semester/summer for a CTY program 3 years ago.</p>
<p>the campus is rather small, the dorms that arent in the new building are really small and the food was horrible.</p>
<p>their library and classrooms are fairly nice though.</p>
