University of Michigan LSA or James Madison College at Michigan State with Honors?

College Search & Selection

<p>I am having such a difficult time deciding which school to attend. If I choose the U of M route, I will work incredibly hard to be accepted into the Ross School of Business. If I am not granted acceptance there, I would most likely apply to the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. My only concern is the fact that my GPA will most likely suffer if I choose to attend U of M, despite how hard I will work due to the bell curve, which will deter my application into respectable law schools (I am interested to become a corporate attorney). I just don't want to be stuck in LSA for all four years.</p>

<p>If I choose the MSU route at James Madison College with the Honors College program, I will have relatively small class sizes, flexible scheduling, and advisers to help me achieve my goals at the university. Meaning, I won't just be a number. Statistically speaking, most of their students who desire to attend top law schools, receive acceptance to their top choice. I just don't know if this option is where I want to be.</p>

<p>I would contact UM and speak with a counselor. I would ask about their law school admission rates and placement ( my friends who went to law school all went to top schools from there- even those who weren’t involved in Ross, because other topics interested them). </p>

<p>I would also ask for clarification- the curve in some sections is not necessarily a bad thing. I would ask what the potential for curve is in your respective path. My spouse matriculated from Ross and was quite grateful for the curve. LOL </p>

<p>Good luck to you as you make your decision. </p>
