Hello, I need opinions on this matter I currently am a student at SUNY Farmingdale State College majoring in Business Management I recently had gotten accepted to SUNY Stony Brook University to major as business management. I am curious to see if I should transfer to Stony Brook or stay at Farmingdale State. I do not know which school would be best to graduate from and open more doors. I am a BUSINESS student NOT a STEM student. Also, I plan on enrolling in a law school upon receiving my undergraduate degree and taking the LSAT examination
Hi–congratulations on this wonderful opportunity!
In general Stony Brook has a reputation as a stronger school than Farmingdale. There are however many factors that go into changing schools. One that you should think about is your GPA. For Law School applications, about 90% of whether you’re accepted is GPA and LSAT score. Your GPA should be about 3.7 or higher.
I hope that I can post this link. It shows you the LSAT and GPA scores you will need to get into the law school of your choice. In general, bear in mind, that finding a job involving practicing law after law school is challenging. Most people recommend graduating from one of the top 15 law schools to better guarantee that you get a job that uses your degree appropriately AND which pays enough to offset your debt.
Thank you very much! This information is very helpful!
