I’ve been accepted into both universities, legal studies in business at Tulane and psychology at UT. I want to be a lawyer (probably corporate) and I was wondering which school’s pre law program is better. I’m really leaning towards Tulane, but the only thing I have doubts about is the cost. I don’t know a lot about UT’s pre law program, so any information would be nice. I know that Tulane has a stellar one. Also, if I decide not to go to law school, how hard is it generally for Tulane graduates to find a job? Thanks!
Where do you live?
There really isn’t a pre law program per se. You study what you want to study before you apply to law school and take lots of courses that require writing and critical reasoning to get ready. Either school would prepare you well academically if you took the right classes and challenged yourself without killing your GPA.
Where do you want to practice? A UT grad staying in Texas would have more connections for jobs and clients than a Tulane grad coming into Texas.
How big an issue is cost? If you can overcome that hurdle, living in NO would be a once in a lifetime experience. (Are you from there? then not so much) I teased my kids that they should go to Tulane so I could come visit.
