It sounds like your son chose the college that was the best fit for him. Other students may value food, southern hospitality, and weather more than sports and choose Emory as a result. I’m not surprised that your husband’s law firm doesn’t visit Emory; its not quite in the same league as Michigan in terms of law school reputation goes. For undergrad though, you can’t go wrong with either of these schools.</p>

<p>As at other T14 law schools, UM law grads have had tough sledding with high-paying big law jobs and/or prestigious judicial clerkships the last few years with a placement rate of much less than 50%. Kudos to UM for being more open about this than most of its competitors. </p>

<p>Anyone else with some input?</p>

<p>If you a University of Michigan with a GPA of 3.8 and above, I believe you a shot at getting in the universities Law School without taking the LSATs.</p>

25

<p>But you have to take the LSAT right?</p>

26

<p>Yes, you have to take the LSAT for law school admission. Guptamusafir is mistaken.</p>

<p>Guptamusafir is mistaken, but it is true that for many years, Michigan students applying to Michigan Law with 3.8+ GPAs were not required to take the LSAT. I think they changed that policy very recently, like in 2006 or 2007. Now, Michigan students are required to submit LSAT results.</p>

<p>My apologies, I didn’t have the latest info.</p>

<p>I WAS IN THE SAME EXACT POSITION AS YOU LAST YEAR. I was between Michigan and Emory and I’m pre-law. I ended up choosing Michigan and couldn’t be happier. The thing about law school is it all comes down to an individual level. However, Michigans departments average better. Plus, in terms of undergrad experience, Ann Arbor>suburban Atlanta, Michigan Football/school spirit> no school spirit at Emory, and Michigan is much larger so there are more extracurricular options. If I were you I’d apply to Honors (it’s what I’m in). Overall, you’d do well at either school, but I vote for Michigan! Go blue and good luck!</p>
