<p>As of now, Rose is my #1 school, and on the route I'm on now I'm almost guaranteed acceptance.
Anyway, when I go there I want to double major in Mathematics and Physics.
After I graduate, I want to apply to a law school or find a respected school to get a doctorate in Physics.
Is Rose a good choice to do my undergraduate studies if those are my plans? </p>
<p>I only know a little about graduate physics programs - and even less about law school - so take my thoughts for what they’re worth…</p>
<p>The main factor in PhD admissions at top programs is research experience. Rose’s small size offers both pros and cons: there will be fewer research projects overall, but as an undergrad you won’t have to compete with graduate students for opportunities. I would say you have a slightly better chance of getting involved in high-impact research at a big school, which will help in PhD grad school admissions, but it’s not anything you can’t overcome at Rose by seeking out the plentiful opportunities that are there. At a big school there are both higher quantity and quality of research projects going on, but your involvement as an undergrad will definitely be limited. At Rose the undergrads have responsibility for most of the research, so your involvement in the projects will be greater. </p>
<p>My experience: I was a EE at Rose, currently getting my MS in CS at a large, well-respected university. I didn’t have any problem getting into good grad schools for my MS and my friends in EE/CS didn’t either.</p>
<p>I know nothing about law school…I think I saw law career advising meetings and LSAT prep flyers a few times during my time at Rose, but law school in general isn’t one of the major destinations for Rose grads. Just because it isn’t the most popular destination shouldn’t deter you, though, and currently the Rose website features a couple alumni that have taken that path, though: [Robert</a> Wilkins](<a href=“404 | Rose-Hulman”>404 | Rose-Hulman) and [Scott</a> Simmonds](<a href=“404 | Rose-Hulman”>404 | Rose-Hulman)</p>
<p>Any undergraduate major works well with a law degree. In fact, I discourage people from majoring in “prelaw” programs. Within law, there are several subcategories of topics. You can do intellectual property law, mergers and acquisitions, family law, public interest law, constitutional law, or law related to any engineering or science field. Bringing a skill to your law degree can only help you in the legal profession. So the answer is yes. Getting an engineering degree at RH will help you enter law school. A word of advice though: Make sure that you go to a top law school. Low level law schools have dismal job placement rates. Research the employment rates carefully. I’m not sure about how RHs grades will be for you–in relation to law school. Competition for top law schools requires scoring in the top 10% of LSAT. Work experience that stands out might make up for a lousy grade but I’m not sure about that. </p>
