<p>I know a decent amount of pre-law students in Harpur. You should look into their Philosophy, Politics, and Law major (it’s all one major). </p>
<p>I’d say you’re fine except for your gpa. My high school didn’t run on a 4.0 scale so I’m not positive about the conversion-- is 3.22 like a B/B+? It’ll probably help you that you’re out of state but it’s still on the low side. Is that weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>I’m a PPL (Philosophy, Politics, and Law) major and I am pre-law. Binghamton is an excellent school for pre-law and offers a lot of opportunities to explore legal careers. There is a Speech and Debate team here, a Mock Trial team, several different classes (especially within PPL) that are legal focused. In addition, Harpur alumni often do presentations or mini classes on their areas of practice.</p>
<p>I agree that your GPA is low for Binghamton… But, who knows? </p>
<p>Other schools… Stony Brook (another SUNY) is more science focused, but still good overall academically. Depending on your potential major, you should be a good fit. UAlbany is also good, but not as good as SB or Bing. Try looking at your in-state options as well… What state are you from? If NJ, check out Rutgers. It’s pretty equivalent in terms of academics to Binghamton. CUNY is also good, depending on how much you (as OOS) are willing to pay to live in the city. I’d look at Brooklyn, Queens, City College, and Hunter for general liberal arts schools.</p>
