<p>If you are from UK and studying in US let me know how it is....it's my turn soon Aaaahhhhhh!</p>
<p>I am, what do you want to know?</p>
<p>Where are you in the admissions process and what schools are you applying to?</p>
<p>I'm applying to Yale, University of Massachusettes, Harvard, Chapman and NYU.I am applying to study Law can you suggest which of these is the best!Iam doing my A-Levels at the mo and I'm in real muddle about which has the best advantages for me.</p>
<p>So your applying for graduate school?</p>
<p>You cant study Law at these places at the undergrad level.</p>
<p>I see your from Liverpool, I am originally from there!</p>
<p>I am applying for undergrad school.It's mad a year ago I was stuck in a full time crap job not I'm bitin my nails off about which place I'll end up.Anyways what part of Liverpool are you from?It's a nice place really most days it does my nut in.</p>
<p>you cant apply to do a Law degree at undergraduate level here in the US. I know for definite at these schools that Law is a graduate degree program.</p>
<p>What would be the equivalent?</p>
<p>This is the good thing about getting an american undergraduate education, you can do almost anything at undergrad level like say political science or economics etc, and then you apply to get into Law school after you have your undergraduate degree.(4 years)
Are you applying for Fall 2006?</p>
<p>Unfortunately not!I'm applying for 2007 but I want to know everything before I start.I would've applied for this year but I'm going to help out in Romania for 3 months, whilst I'm there I'm building my own case study to present when I apply hopefully it should back my application up quite nicely.What are you there to study?</p>
<p>I am a business and economics major. I love it here, its a lot of hard work, and nothing it seems like a Brit university but its really good.</p>
<p>Have you done the SAT yet?
If your applying for the top schools you will need a top score.</p>
<p>No.I'm dreading it but I'm looking for an intro course too to get me into the hang of American Laws as I am only familiar with British ones.I've just sent an e-mail to Yale....I wonder if they'll get back to me!
Wish me luck!!!!!</p>

<p>They are very similar; both countries possess rich jurisprudential histories. Perhaps the closest to 'law' on the undergraduate level is 'philosophy of law'. If you wish to focus on that, NYU is the best option. Yale's strength is in Normative Ethics, Logic, Philosophy of Religion, and Continental Philosophy. Harvard's strength is in Normative Ethics, Logic, Aesthetics, and Early Modern and Contemporary Epistemology.</p>
<p>has an undergraduate degree in Law. Here is the Dept. website:</p>

<p>Hope this helps British Chick!</p>
<p>It must be noted that with a B.A., one will not be able to take the Bar nor, if they to take and pass it, will they, I think, be hired by any respectable firm. One must still earn a J.D. to practice.</p>
<p>With that in perspective, attaining a B.A. in 'Law' might not be the best path for applying to law schools; top law schools distinguish between different majors, and from what I know, are averse to 'pre-law' or 'law' related degrees. If you wish to do undergraduate study in law, the best path would be philosophy. It is a respectable major that will allow you to garner - in addition to jurisprudential training and a respectable degree for law schools - an analytic skill-set that is not only useful for the LSAT, but for law school as well.</p>
<p>When i knew I was going to apply to american schools I did the following (this might be of help)
1. Look around at different majors (like we said you cant do "Law" really for undergrad)
2. Decided where you want to be in the country? (West/East/Mid West)
3. Take the SAT's and do well in A Levels
4. If you can,. come over and visit the colleges, this helps soo much
5. Start looking at the applications, and I know ou dont have any EC's like american kids do, but try and find something you can get involved in.</p>
<p>These are just some tips, I did...hope it helps!!!!</p>
<p>What school do you go to by the way? Belvedere/Merchant Taylors ???</p>
<p>I attended St.Edmunds of Canterbury in England.It was quite good but Law wasn't available for me to study that's kinda why I'm looking around so late now.Those tips where very helpful Frenchie I jotted them down to remind me :-)</p>
<p>So why are you in Liverpool now? work? sixth form?</p>
<p>tip tip chirio, would u like some tea?</p>
<p>Sorry... Always wanted to do that,</p>
<p>Hahaha!I was expectin' it at some point!
