NYU Liberal Studies Program (then Poli-Sci) Vs. GW Poli-Sci

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

<p>So, I'm into LSP at NYU, eventually majoring in Political Science.
I'm also accepted to GW for Political Science.
Eventually I want to go to a 'top' (If I can) Law School.
For the record, I've toured both schools extensively and love them both a ton.
I'm getting 12k a year from GW, but dont yet know how much NYU will give me.</p>

<p>Now I know GW's most valuable asset is its DC location, and DC + Poli-Sci = priceless (almost). I also know that NYU is an excellent schoo; with a great political science program. How do the two universities' political science programs compare? Does anyone know if the LSP hinders political science opportunities?
I know DC has a ton of excellent internship opportunities (Capital Hill, Justice Dept, etc.) for Poli-Sci kids. Can internship opportunities in New York rival those in DC, with respect to political science?</p>

<p>Finally (and MOST importantly) I really want to know how a degree from NYU vs. a degree from GW will affect me getting into a really good law school, or just getting a job down the line.</p>

<p>IMO BOTH a NYU and GW degree will get you into a really good law school! Sorry i can’t answer any of your other questions. You should put this on the NYU message board too!</p>

<p>Hey sharif,</p>

<p>I am a senior at GW and I am going to a “top” law school next year. The truth is, it doesn’t matter where you go to undergrad if you are applying to law school; the important thing is how well you do while you are there (as high of a GPA as possible), and how well you do on your LSAT. </p>

<p>So it comes down to what school you like better. I honestly think GW has the best internship opportunities of any school in the country. I don’t know much about NYU though, except that it’s a great school academically, it has even less of a campus than GW, and cost of living is even higher than at GW.</p>

<p>If you have more specific questions about law school/GW, feel free to PM me.</p>

<p>GW=DC=poli sci</p>

<p>Instead of summers programs in DC, you have four years of life in DC</p>
