<p>I want to go to law school in the future, and I'm trying to put myself in the best position to go to the best law school I can. Should I attend an Ivy League school as an undergrad, or save quite a bit of money and attend the University of Georgia Honors Program for free?</p>
<p>Law school admissions is heavily numbers driven. You will need an excellent GPA, and excellent LSAT score. UGA is one of the top public institutions in the country. If come April you find that you must choose it over another college/university because of cost, you will not be making a bad decision. Apply everywhere that you are interested in, and wait to see what the finances look like next spring.</p>
<p>Depends on your family finances. IMO, if you can get into and afford an Ivy/Ivy caliber school it will serve you well the rest of your life. If finances are an issue, then UGA must be considered as an option.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that law school is expensive, so if going to UGA for free would allow you to save your college fund for law school, that may be worth considering.</p>
<p>Georgia appears to have a decent level of grade inflation, though not as much as some Ivy League colleges (which do vary), although the student competitiveness is also greater at the latter.</p>
