<p>Does anybody know of any pre-law programs at universities besides SMU, IIT, and SLU? Does NYU have one,because NYU us my first pick for university</p>
<p>Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>There really isn’t such a thing as a pre-law program.</p>
<p>really? Oh I did not know that at all! haha sorry for the inconvenience… but could you confirm something or could anyone confirm something for me? Would a Pre-Law SCHOLARS program count/be different?</p>
<p>spt, it is very simple</p>
<p>take a look at where the current Supreme Court Justices went to undergraduate school.</p>
<p>that might give you an idea</p>
<p>^well that gives you an idea of what schools are great for law school and typically produce the best of the best. its basically the stop ivies, college of the holy cross, and maybe stanford but i think i remember hearing that clarence thomas was the only one to no go ivy undergrad.</p>
<p>you might want to look at which undergraduate schools have sent the most students (as a percednt of their undergraduate school) to Yale, Harvard and Stanford Law Schools and start from there - if the stats are available.</p>

<p>Since there is no such thing as pre-law, the major things to consider for law school admissions are price and ability to get a high GPA. So I wouldn’t go to Caltech, and I wouldn’t go to NYU (absent a big scholarship), but otherwise, it is likely to be a mostly personal decision.</p>
<p>The University of Iowa offers a lot for your interest in social science: political science, economics, public relations/ policy, etc…Not only is the school one of the best academically but also the first caucus state, which gets a lot of political attention. The school is also known to have one of the best writing programs in the world ( Iowa City known as World City of Literature along with two other cities in Europe). I am sure there are resources you can take advantage of, if you plan to attend law school being a good writer is helpful.</p>
<p>[College</a> of the Holy Cross | Prelaw Program](<a href=“http://www.holycross.edu/departments/pre-law/lawhome.htm]College”>http://www.holycross.edu/departments/pre-law/lawhome.htm)</p>
<p>You can major in anything as an undergraduate in preparation for law school. Most common majors: English, Political Science, Humanities, Economics, Psychology. Science majors are especially valued as intellectual property lawyers.</p>
<p>Many colleges have internship programs that will help you explore different aspects of legal practice to see what interests you.</p>
<p>so its true that economics/history/english majors score the highest on the LSATS?</p>
<p>^ There used to be a link floating around with the numbers; I cant find it at the moment, though. I believe that math and physics majors scored highest.</p>
<p>you might want to look at which colleges had the highest average LSAT’s coming out of college in order to get a gauge on good pre-law programs…</p>
<p>^ I imagine that the list will be very similar to the the list of schools with the highest average SAT scores.</p>
<p>NYU is pretty weak for pre-law. Actually, it’s pretty weak overall in academics considering its price tag. Shoot for somewhere like Amherst, which covers all your financial need is actually proven to be great for pre-law people.</p>
<p>^ I should note, though, that Amherst is highly selective.</p>
