<p>Hi, I posting this thread because I want to know what school is the better fall back plan. I have no doubt I will get accepted to other schools but just in case I don't or financially they become unattainable, I would like to know which one would be the better option so me and my family could start preparing. Which would look better when applying to law school? Where would I get the best education.
Relevant info about me: african american female, top 15% of my class, 3.8 weighted gpa, 3.5 unweighted gpa, 1810 SAT(CR 640, M 560, W 610) but I'm taking it again, I will automatically be admitted to both schools based on rank and SAT scores, I think I am a good candidate for both schools honor programs, especially after I retake my SAT. I intend to go to law school after undergrad.</p>
<p>What state do you live in?</p>
<p>I live in Texas</p>
<p>Oh, also my father went to OSU so I should qualify for a $5,000 legacy scholarship and would receive a guaranteed $3,500 merit scholarship from Tech.</p>
<p>OSU isn’t particularly known for pre-law studies. They have a very strong agriculture program, but I never hear much about their pre-law programs. OU has a much better pre-law program. Don’t know about Texas Tech.</p>
<p>
Complete nonsense! Check your info before you post.</p>
<p>Law school admission is based almost entirely on grades and LSAT scores. There is no such thing as a “pre-law” program. OSU would be perfectly fine for any pre-law student. </p>
<p>I’m actually from Oklahoma. I’m talking about how people here view the programs. OU is definitely respected much more for preparing students in graduate fields in the humanities while OSU is viewed as a top notch school for agriculture and the sciences. I wasn’t trying to provide any statistical references about their law school acceptance rates or anything. And by “pre-law program” I meant any course of study in preparation for law school as the OP plans to take. I never said OSU wouldn’t be ok for law school, rather that OU is more well known and more respected for humanities than OSU. Please don’t assume that I don’t know what I’m talking about because I don’t have views that are the same as yours.</p>
<p>Also, @warblersrule, OU’s website specifically talks about their “pre-law program”: <a href=“http://www.ou.edu/go2/academics/law/prelaw.html”>http://www.ou.edu/go2/academics/law/prelaw.html</a>
“OU is not only home to an outstanding College of Law, it offers one of the most comprehensive and dedicated pre-law programs for undergraduates in the country.”
OU offers a pre-law program for its undergraduate students in concert with its law school. OSU doesn’t have as much to prep students for law school.</p>

If you are interested in law you might want to check out the link above. The Honors College at Tech has a fast track to law school that might be of interest to you. Also for pre-med. </p>
