<p>So overall I intend to go to law school, but first I plan to go college for an undergraduate in english. What are some good schools to consider for the undergrad?
Just some general information:
I have around a 3.8 GPA, My extra-curriculars include Speech and Debate (with an impeccable record), Model UN, Mock Trial, an after school dance company through school, and JSA (Junior statesmen of America), and possibly Youth Leg. next year. From the SAT I have taken I scored I think a 2045. </p>
<p>**Although I put that info, I would like to ask for your opinions not based on what caliber school I could potentially be accepted to, but more as a starting point as I start to consider colleges.
Thanks!</p>
<p>there are many schools that would work for you that are both strong in English and strong in debate. Some are private and some are public. </p>
<p>We need more info from you.</p>
<p>are you a junior in high school?</p>
<p>Is that an actual SAT score?</p>
<p>Retake your SAT and also take the ACT (some do better on the ACT).</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>What is your budget (how much will your family spend)?</p>
<p>Since you want to go to law school, it’s a good idea to minimize undergrad costs and loans since Law School is very expensive (unless money is no object in your family. )</p>
<p>I am actually a sophomore and just starting to think about where I want to go and yes, that is an actual SAT score. I am in Washington, but would prefer to go out of state. Budget isn’t a problem, though yeah it would be nice to spend a little less money on the undergrad also private vs. public doesn’t really matter either.</p>
<p>Good. UNSWR Top 10+Brown+Cornell+Berkeley engineering should be good target schools. A successful student will get into at least a couple of the schools I mentioned. To be more conclusive, I’ll write out the “class” as per say of each university.</p>
<p>I broke them into tiers on the basis of a mixed personal conception of prestige, quality, endowment, recruitment, etc. But its mostly by selectivity I suppose. Depending on your level of being a good student, pick wisely on the schools you’re aiming for.</p>
<p>In addition to mom2college’s questions, we need a bit more information:</p>
<p>1) Size of school (LACs, mid-sized public, large state school, etc…), min and max # of students.
2) Location (geographic preference, weather, max distance from home, urban/rural/suburban…and ‘rural’ means small college town, by the way)
3) Culture: give us some adjectives that describe the vibe you want: artsy, rah-rah, granola, intellectual, quirky, preppy, conservative/liberal, etc…
4) deal breakers (single sex? religious? must have snow-boarding…)</p>
<p>With this info, we can give you some targeted suggestions rather than just tossing out random schools.</p>
