UMD Coll. Park or UPitt or Duke? Undergrad CC transfer

<p>I would like to go out of state for undergrad, but UMD College Park would be where I would like to transfer if I have to stay in state for financial reasons. I was wondering if i should go for the UMD Honors Program and get a B.A in Philosophy, or go for their more highly ranked (#1 in nation) Criminology program? My goal is to go to law school and become an attorney (not sure specialization yet, but if criminology tract is chosen, probably a criminal defense att'y or prosecutor. Any feedback would be great.</p>

<p>I do have a 3.893 GPA after 30 credits finished at WOr-Wic COmmunity College and have some very good ideas for ec's. I will become a leader or president in Phi Theta Kappa in Fall, and member of SGA. I walso am founding a soup kitchen in a local resort town (ocean City) that is fraught with homelessness and addiction. I am applying for 501c3 status and am working with my local representatives to get help with grants, etc.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks</p>

<p>Ps.- I was thinking of also doing a pre-med track in preperation for some type of health-care related law field. Would likely get a degree in pre-med from UMD-CP or Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>What do you all think is best tract to take for my goal of going to Top Tier Law school such as Yale/Harvard/UCBerkely/etc....</p>

<p>Also, really like UVA for undergrad…</p>

<p>It is extraordinary difficult to transfer into Duke (specially from a community college). If you can manage to get in (and are able to afford it), go there without thinking twice.</p>
