How good is UCSD for law?

<p>Hi, I'm actually pretty sure that I want to be a doctor, but I wanted to know how good UCSD is for law in case I change my mind. The reason is that I know I cant get into UCLA or UCB, and for the most part all the other UCs are garbage besides these 3. So I wanted to know how good UCSD is for anything besides med. Otherwise, what other UCs/Colleges are good for law?</p>

<p>We have a non-existent law undergrad program.</p>

<p>The good thing is that law schools don't require one to take any specific major in college.</p>

<p>I can see how someone would say UCSC/UCR/UCM are garbage (even though it is absolutely false), but to say UCSB, UCI, and UCD are garbage is just stupid. </p>

<p>I hope you don't get into any UC schools, bc I don't think anyone as dumb as you should poison such a great college system.</p>

<p>none of the UCs are "garbage". the UC system=arguably the best public school system in the US. sd/cal/la are the prestigious ones but all of them offer the same great education. prestige really doesn't mean much</p>

<p>Very often people do not use majors specifically related to what we think of as "law" to get into Law School; however, it is common to see people go to law with Political Science. UCSDs Poli-Sci Department is very impressive; do well gradewise and perform well on the LSATs and you have your chance anywhere. </p>

<p>Other majors are able to as well. History is a common major to use for Law. Engineers sometimes even pursue law. There's really no limit, as long as you meet the Law Schools guidelines for enrollment.</p>

<p>great question.</p>

<p>great answer wayytooworried.</p>

<p>as for the uc system outside of the big 3: they still rock socks.</p>

<p>**** u socal18...u shouldn't say stuff like that just because ur denying the fact u got into a ****ty school</p>

<p>UW_Husky88 --- I'm only a junior. But UCSB is my favorite school, along with UMiami and I would go to those 2 schools over any school. I'm not a prestige whor*e.....I actually want to go to a college that I will be happy at, not the highest ranked school on USNEWS.</p>

<p>Nothing wrong with what SoCal18 said. Saying all the UCs besides the top 3 "are garbage" is typical of the kind of ignorance you see on College Confidential.</p>

<p>I know two people that went on to Stanford law with political science degrees from UCSD (not too shabby...). To the other situation that is building up on this thread: calling any legitimate college "garbage", let alone the UC's is wrong. Some people work very hard to get into these schools, and to say, "you're going to a garbage school," is just inappropriate. UC's are very prestigious institutions that shouldn't even be said in the same category as "garbage".</p>

<p>Vu, where are you going to school next year? The only other Cambridge insitutions are Cambridge College, Lesley, and MIT o_o</p>

<p>MIT :) But my heart is going to always be with UCSD; I'm just on a brief hiatus.</p>
