Pitt vs. Marquette vs. Loyola Chicago

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I have finally narrowed down my college list from about 15 to 3. I am looking at Pitt, Marquette, or Loyola. I have toured them all and love each campus for different reasons. I am pretty undecided as far as a major goes, but I am leaning towards something in the field of law (lawyer, forensics, FBI, CIA, etc.) Just wanted to get opinions and viewpoints from people who attend any of these schools or have any insight. I have already been accepted to Pitt's main campus, do you think I have a good chance of getting into either of the other schools? The only thing holding me back from pitt is the distance from home (I live in MN)</p>

<p>Do not let distance from home dictate where you understand is the best fit for you. So if you think Pitt is best go for it. Now I will luk that I’m a Marquette alumnus, saying that Marquette has new excellent facilities for law school and there is the pre-law scholar program that will save you a year from becoming a lawyer if you qualify check here [Pre-Law</a> Scholars Program | Diederich College of Communication | Marquette University](<a href=“Diederich College of Communication // Marquette University”>Diederich College of Communication // Marquette University)</p>

<p>ok thanks so much! I’ll look into that :)</p>

<p>Pitt has a program that if you qualify, you get guaranteed acceptance into its law school. </p>

<p>Pitt, being a very, very large research institution will probably have more resources. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Really? I didn’t know that. I was just looking into Marquette today because a link had popped up when I was looking at UofChicago. Personally, I have developed more of an interest in relations and so I was very surprised when I visited the website and saw all the programs they had at the university (plus its REALLY SMALL). This helped me a bunch, thanks!</p>

<p>Cool! Since I have already been accepted to Pitt’s main campus to the school of Arts & Sciences can I still qualify for that program or was that suppose to be done as part of my application?</p>

<p>In this economy do not even contemplate a guaranteed law program at a lower-ranked law school, unless you want to live in that town permanently. Graduating a year earlier without a job = unemployed JD.</p>

<p>Law school is all about numbers: gpa+lsat. For the most part, unless you attend HYPS, undergrad won’t matter. Since LS is so expensive, consider attending the least expensive undergrad that you like. If you like all three colleges equally, follow the money.</p>

<p>Two plus factors for Marquette and Pitt is D1 sports. OTOH, if you aren’t a sports fan…</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I like Pitt too.</p>
