<p>I am transfering schools in a few months and was wondering which would set me up better for law school!!</p>
<p>By “UWM” do you mean the University of Wisconsin at Madison, which people simply call “UW,” or the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, which is commonly called “UWM”?</p>
<p>Any way, the answer is that all three of those schools can give you sufficient preparation for law school, provided you do well at them and on your LSAT. As you probably know, there is no such thing as a “pre-law” degree, so perhaps you need to explain better what you mean by being “set up” for law school.</p>
<p>UW Milwaukee is what I ment. I just heard that the classes at UWM are not as challenging as Marquette and I was wondering if law schools put a lot of weight as to the difficulty of your undergrad school</p>
<p>Well, it’s hard to answer this question generically, but I doubt that law schools would view these two schools as materially different in difficulty. It’s possible Marquette’s own law school would have a preference for Marquette grads, but that’s the only school where I can imagine any effect at all. I know many lawyers who are graduates of both UWM and Marquette. I suspect that how well you do in school and how well you do on your LSAT will be far more significant in your law school applications than which of these two particular schools you attended.</p>
<p>Cool thanks for the advice</p>
<p>If you do well at either school, you should be able to get into law school as long as you do well on your entry exam. The issue might be the number of “name” schools who accept you. Maybe that is not important to you. When you come out of Marquette grad you may get accepted at a few more prestigious name law schools. I think that is what you are asking.</p>
