Med School vs. Business School vs. Law School vs. Grad School

<p>First off, I know this isn't the right section for this, but since there isn't a section in the forum to combine the 4 schools, I thought I would do it in this section. Anyways....</p>

<p>I have a question about admisions in med, business, law, and grad school. Can you rank them from easiest to hardest to get into? Also, which of the tests to get into them is the hardest (GREs, MCAT, LSAT, etc.) Thanks.</p>

<p>The professional schools will be more difficult to get into than grad school. Obviously each type of school will be looking for different things but just judging by undergrad GPA's, acceptance rates, etc. I'd rank them as:</p>

<p>med school>law school>business school>grad school in terms of difficulty in being admitted.</p>

<p>Yeah, thats what I also assumed. Thanks.</p>

<p>They're all pretty frickin hard to get into, IMHO.</p>

<p>Med School is cutthroat as far as admissions.
Law School is less cutthroat in admissions, but when you get there, people will go insane for the top spots.
Business School is kind of lax.
Grad School is lax, but you have to have good stats.</p>

Heh heh heh. I've known quite a few ABDs who might disagree with your amusing characterization. They don't exactly hand out PhDs on street corners.</p>

<p>Med school, it doesn't matter that much where you go...law school, the prestige of the institution you're attending means a lot.</p>

<p>In comparison to those, it is. But I did say "They're all pretty frickin hard to get in to." Education is definitely not a cakewalk.</p>

<p>Which school would I go to and which test should I take to get into it if I want to get a masters in aerospace engineering?</p>

<p>You want to take the GRE test and score really well on all of the sections, especially the math section.</p>

<p>Good schools for aerospace engineering:</p>

<p>Purdue
RPI
Embry-Riddle
MIT
Georgia Tech
Cornell
Stanford
Cal Tech
Cal-Berkley</p>

<p>Really, you want to go to a school with a strong engineering program.</p>

I applied to Purdue, PSU, Colorado-Boulder, Virginita Tech, SUNY-Buffalo, and Embry-Riddle (FL). I already got accepted to ERAU, and I'm hoping to get into Purdue. If I don't make it to Purdue should I just go to ERAU for their 5 year BS/MS program in AE? Should I even consider my other schools since they're not THAT good in AE?</p>

<p>I want to get into Cal Tech. I heard that school is compared as a MIT in CA.</p>

<p>Virginia Tech is good at aeronatuical engineering, I believe. But I would take the Embry-Riddle 5 year BS/MS thing. That is a strong program. I know a girl from my HS that is doing that. She is pretty bright, too.</p>
