<p>I'm mainly looking for schools outside the Ivy League that I haven't heard/thought about that I should consider applying to in a few years. Long lists, short lists, anything is fine. Just to clear up the confusing title, I'm looking for an undergraduate school that has a good program that will let me do well in law school later on.</p>
<p>Georgetown, Tufts, Northwestern, JHU are several schools that come to mind.</p>
<p>There are no particular undergrad prerequisites for law school, and no particular undergraduate schools or majors that will prepare you for law school. (Many law school students have majored in political science because they have an interest in government, but law schools like a student body with diverse backgrounds.) You’ll need strong analytical and writing skills to be a successful law student, but those can be developed in many fields. To be honest, it’s way too soon for you to be focused on a legal career–at this point in your life you should keep your intellectual horizons wide open. Your career choices will likely change many times before you graduate from college.</p>
<p>Only seven colleges in the nation have a graduate that is a sitting US Supreme Court Justice:</p>
<p>The list is Cornell, Holy Cross, Harvard (2), Stanford (2), Georgetown, University of Chicago, and Princeton.</p>
<p>I’m in complete agreement with MommaJ.</p>
<p>The “good/prestigious schools for…going into law” are the colleges that are good or prestigious, period. And the colleges that are “good” are the colleges that are good for you in terms of size, selectivity, location, student culture, academic offerings, etc.</p>
<p>Duke, Georgetown, Holy Cross, Williams, Bowdoin, Davidson.</p>
<p>Randomly throwing out names of schools will not be helpful to the OP, especially when there is no explanation of why they are supposedly of interest. Again, “letting” you do well in law school is not a meaningful criterion for choosing an undergraduate school. OP, you’re just a freshman, right? Stop worrying about this stuff!</p>
