<p>Does anyone know where I can find the placement rates into law school for the following colleges and which one they applied to: University of Rochester, Bowdoin College, The College of New Jersey, and Emory University?
And in your opinion which one do you think most succefully prepares and places students into law school?
Thanks alot.</p>
<p>bump, does anyone know where I can find the information?</p>
<p>Based upon my research last year, I can tell you that Emory has superior law placement as compared to U of Rochester and The College of NJ. I was actually surprised that U of Rochester's placement into top law schools was lower than I had anticipated. Emory has a high percentage of students applying to law school and does quite well in placement.</p>
<p>I do not know specifics regarding Bowdoin, except anecdotally that they do quite well in law school placcement.</p>
<p>If you want a LAC experience with your interests, Bowdoin is a fine fit.
Emory and Rochester are excellent mid sized research universities. Rochester has a stronger computer science program. Both were high on my list following visits.</p>
<p>For prospective students preparing for a career in law, Emory has awesome resources including great study abroad programs, the Carter Center and an Ethics Minor. These factored in to my applying ED instead of U of Rochester.
Emory has something like a 7:1 student : teacher ratio and an excellent advising program. The wide array of resources are due in part to the location as well as a very high endowment. This is evident by the constant expansion of facilities and the physical campus. </p>
<p>The locations differ greatly too; Bowdoin in Maine, Emory in a beautiful suburb close to Atlanta and Rochester in a mediocre surrounding area and decent city. </p>
<p>These 3 are all very good schools, it's a matter of preference and fit.</p>

<p>Would you by any chance still have the links from where you got this information?
Thanks though for the post, I was asking because I am in a financial bond right now. So I wanted to know whether I should invest 45k a year for Bowdoin if it would help me better in the long run or spen 13k go to go a state college?</p>
<p>As someone going through the law school process, it doesnt matter as much as you think. Just get good grades, do well on the lsat, and try to build up your soft factors. As long as the undergrad school you attended is reasonably good, it shouldnt make too big of a difference. Bowdoin and Emory jump out at me out from your list however.</p>
