<p>need help deciding..</p>
<p>which one?</p>
<p>ucla = electrical engineering
northwestern = electrical engineering law honors.</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>What's Electrical Engineering Law Honors? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>regular 4 years of ee
an provisional admission to northwestern law school
need to maintain a 3.25.</p>
<p>hard choice as ucla ee is ranked higher..</p>
<p>Tell us about yourself... Are you a California resident?
What are your interests outside of class? Do you plan on going to law school? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>yes i am a cali resident..</p>
<p>and i do plan on going to law school after ee
and nu remains tempting as its law school is really good.</p>
<p>but i dont know how well nu's ee program ranks in comparison to uclas....</p>
<p>If you're indeed a California resident I think you should stick with UCLA over Northwestern... Why would you pay four times the tuition for a lower-ranked Electrical Engineering program just to gain admission to a lower-ranked law school? The only drawback in choosing UCLA is that there's no guaranteed admissions program at the UCLA School of law, but if you're confident you can get a high GPA (~3.50) in engineering here, then go for it. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>flosy,</p>
<p>Just so you know, Northwestern's law is ranked 12th, ABOVE, not below, UCLA's law school.</p>
<p>exspiro,</p>
<p>NU's engineering program is pretty good with 4 programs in top-10 and 3 programs in top-15. The only one that's outside top-15, unfortunately, happens to be EE. LOL! Are you sure you are interested in EE, not any others? ;)</p>
<p>NU did recognize this "sore spot" though and recently merged the EE and CompE into one. Currently, the program is a top-30 program. That's not bad considering there are hundreds of programs out there but compared to other engineering depts at NU, this is the one that has the most room to improve and I think they are trying hard to do just that. Merging EE & CompE into one is the first step.</p>
<p>Whoops, my mistake. :rolleyes:
Northwestern Law is ranked 12th, while UCLA Law is ranked 15th.

<p><a href="http://career.berkeley.edu/Law/lawStats.stm%5B/url%5D">http://career.berkeley.edu/Law/lawStats.stm</a> gives you some idea of the competition of getting into Northwestern's law school.</p>
<p>The admission to NU's law school has been very competitive even for students from Berkeley for the past couple years. Last year, 1 out of 17 got in while the year before, 1 out of 20! Think twice before you give up your spot. ;)</p>
<p>It's no brainer, Northwestern. </p>
<p>For undergraduate EE, most good schools except for the very top ones will teach you silimar stuff. A BS in EE from NWU will not be taken lower than from UCLA. I can't believe what kind of suggestion UCLA homers can give ya!</p>
