<p>Did anyone else receive an invitation to join SMU's pre-law program? I specified business as my desired major and got a BBA Scholar invite, so I'm trying to figure out why I was invited to the Pre-Law Scholars program.
Also, is one program better than the other? I know lots of people try to get the BBA Scholar invite, but I haven't heard much about the Pre-Law Scholar invite.</p>
<p>Congratulations on recieving both! The Pre-Law scholar program has several components. You get to take a special pre-law class taught by Dedman faculty, attend special events and lectures, and you get to participate in mentorship and pre-law advising. In addition, if you satisfy certain requirements and maintain a certain GPA, you are guaranteed admission to Dedman Law when you graduate from SMU. I don’t think there’s any reason why you couldn’t be a part of both programs. There must have been something in your experience/resume that led them to believe you might be interested in a field related to legal studies! </p>
<p>Congratulations, again!</p>
