<p>I realize my plans may change, but either way I'd like to know the answers to these questions. My goal is to be an entertainment lawyer, and so I want to go to NYU. I am currently a senior in high school and was wondering how important the prestige of an undergraduate school is. I have been accepted to University of Oregon, Indiana University, and I am waiting for Purdue. I plan on majoring in English. I also applied to some UC schools, and some top liberal art schools on the east coast. However, the price tag of the liberal arts colleges means that even though I may be accepted, I probably will not go as my parents will instead put money towards law school. I have a general dislike for the UC's, and I would rather move out of state and experience something new. If I was to attend Indiana University, or Purdue, or Oregon, would my chances change at all?</p>
<p>If you want to save money for law school, why not go to a UC? Most – if not all – of them are better than Purdue, Indiana, and Oregon.</p>
<p>Anyway, you chances of admission to T14 law schools are almost entirely dependent on your LSAT score, your GPA, and your race. Going to a prestigious school would only minimally improve your chances of admission.</p>

<p>That’s an awfully specific goal, which requires that you be a “general practitioner” long before you start doing entertainment law.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why NYU? Just because it’s in New York City? Do you know anything about the school and what its specialties are? Hint: Entertainment Law isn’t one of them.</p>
<p>you should go to the cheapest school possible to minimize your combined debt load after LS, if you KNOW you want to be an attorney. undergrad prestige comes into play at the HYP level, but not much otherwise. since you aren’t aiming for the elite u-grads, go cheap.</p>
