<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>the one with the lowest admissions standards and the highest median GPA</p>
<p>if your life goal (and the consequent college education) is centered only around going to a good law school, go to TCNJ. law schools give very little consideration for UG school.</p>
<p>but if you don't want your life to suck, choose college based on what you like. you don't want your life to be miserable just so you can be a loser lawyer.</p>
<p>in any case, by your logic of ends justifies the means--that is, go to a good law school even if it means turning down an awesome education + experience from bowdoin--you can just as easily choose a lower ranked law school that gets you decent jobs and competitive salary, like Touro, Cardozo, or even NYLS</p>
<p>if you're a HS student, and you have those four choices, i'd say go to the best school possible. your 4 years in college are irreplaceable. and at 17, 18, you really have no clue what you want to do. go to a school that gives you the best overall education + experience (in my opinion, bowdoin). if you're meant to excel, you'll excel wherever you go. if you're meant to be mediocre, well, hell, there's always NYLS (still has a median salary of 125k last time i checked)</p>
<p>It's not going to make any difference which one you choose. No data anybody could show you would be at all relevant.</p>
<p>Would you by any chance still have the links from where you got this information? </p>
<p>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? I defiantly want a good experiance but I don't know if going down 160k in debt + law school costs is worth it.</p>
<p>You might call the career centers at respective schools and see if they have any information on people that have been accepted at the law schools you've been looking for.</p>
<p>You might not know their soft factors but in general if they have a lot of data you can tell if your school suffers from grade inflation and grade deflation if people with the same LSAT scores from other schools but with different gpas got into those law schools.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org%5B/url%5D">www.lawschooldiscussion.org</a> will give you a very indepth info on everything law school related</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com%5B/url%5D">www.lawschoolnumbers.com</a> will give you some data</p>
<p>best, as PA said, is to call the career offices at the respective schools. but keep in mind.... kids who get a 3.7 at TCNJ will generally have a lower LSAT than 3.7 at bowdoin.</p>
<p>as for the money: if you're financing it, then it's an issue. if your parents are financing it, it's less of an issue. if it was going to be an issue, why did you apply in the first place? </p>
<p>it basically comes down to how much you/your folks can bend over backwards. some families can shell out 45k like it's nothing, some families get a good FA package, but many, many at private schools don't.</p>
