<p>bbjxdf, no matter where you end up you need to become a student who talks to professors. For one thing, it’s one of the interactions that you’re paying money for–you’re not going to hear all of what a prof has to offer just at lectures. If you have specific questions about the coursework, or you find a concept confusing or interesting, or you want to know about research opportunities in a field etc etc then you want to go talk to the prof. Another very pragmatic issue: if you get sick or for some other reason need a time extension on a deadline/need to reschedule a test/etc, having been someone who’s shown an interest in the class will make it more likely the prof will help you. And of course you’re going to need recommendation letters when it’s time for law school.</p>
<p>For law school admissions (in the US, I assume?), check the law school subforum somewhere on CC and ask if folks there have suggestions about which school if any has more of an advantage. Your GPA is going to be important; if I had to guess I’d think that Cal has the toughest grading but don’t take my word for it. </p>
