<p>I applied to UC Davis as an International Relations major wanting to eventually get into Politics with a Law Degree. My question is, if I do well in UC Davis, will I still be able to get into the Competitive Law Schools even if I don’t go to a “prestigious under-grade school” like CAL? Does the whole “prestige thing” matter that much for politics and is UC Davis a good school for IR or PS? I figured UC Davis would be good due to its close proximity to the State Capital. Thanks Guys :)</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about UCD regarding politics, but law is one of those fields that a “prestigious undergrad school” helps a lot in.</p>

<p>Excellent :)</p>

<p>Overall, is UCD a good school for International Relations and Political Science?</p>

<p>Yeah, law school is largely LSATs+GPA. It just so happens that people who attend Harvard are capable of doing well on the LSATs.</p>

<p>I have quite few friends in majoring in IR and Poli Sci. They seem to like it. And from what I remember, IR majors are required to do a quarter abroad. So that should be fun.</p>

<p>Davis has a law school too btw.</p>

<p>Not only that, but there are a lot of great political science internships available, too</p>

<p>wow I am in the exact same boat as you whiteape…I’m hoping to eventually end up at Stanford later down the road for grad school, maybe Georgetown.</p>
