So I am currently a second semester freshmen at college looking to go to law school. Now there are two things a little bit unique about my situation in which I was seeking some guidance.
Firstly, I can and plan to graduate early. I did some research and read a few topics on here and everything seems to point to it being okay. Most of the criticism was fewer grades, etc. A lot of that seemed to prove inconsequential with people still getting into competitive schools as long as they had competitive GPAs. Is this correct? I don’t wanna screw up my chances solely because I want to graduate early. I could pick up a second major very simply but that would be a very costly and time consuming decision and I want to be sure it is necessary if I do such.
Secondly, I want to do my final year (Junior year) abroad. My school offers a really cool full year program at the London School of Economics. Being an Economics major this seemed really interesting to me and all around seemed like a good experience and good resume builder. Despite this, their the classes are year long. So I would in fact be taking 4 classes over 2 semesters at 16 credits a semester (32 total). Would this impact my admissions process in any way? I am not sure exactly as to how the grading system works, but I would assume I would still receive a letter grade at the end of each semester despite continuing the class.
