What Schools are good for prelaw or finance.

<p>Please give me 5 schools that are know for prelaw and 5 schools that are known for finance. Not looking for ivy league answers. The maximum prestige of the colleges you list have to be under tufts. Anything above, i have no chance at. Thank you and feel free to post your links and i will share my input with you!</p>

<p>There is no major called pre-law and no ‘best school’ for law school. You can study anything, take the LSAT, and go to law school. Your best preparation is a rigorous undergraduate curriculum that forces you to do a lot of writing, to speak persuasively and to think clearly. And avoid going into debt because law school is expensive and, given the current job market for lawyers, it may take a long time to pay that debt off.</p>

<p>NYU
Georgetown (perhaps more prestigious than Tufts but similarly competitive)
Boston College
Michigan
Emory</p>

<p>Drake university</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And think both humanistically and logically. The latter is often neglected by pre-law students. However, a quick look at the LSAT practice questions reveals why math and philosophy majors do better on it than the more common political science and English literature majors.</p>

<p>Finance (more than 5)
Babson
Bentley
McGill
SMU
Ohio State
Santa Clara University
Tulane
American
Wake Forest</p>

<p>Here are some finance school recommendations from the thread “Looking Beyond the Rankings”. All should qualify as safety schools if you have Tufts level stats.
-Case Western Reserve University
-Drew University (look into the honors program)
-BU
-Valpraiso University
-Bryant University
-CU-Boulder
-TAMU
-Ithaca College
-University of Arkansas (thanks to the Waltons, its bschool is excellent)
-IU Bloomington
-Marquette University
-Kansas State
-LSU</p>

<p>Boston College
Northeastern
Wake Forest
Emory</p>

<p>emory is my tied for my top choice with tufts. I do like wake forest as well. I also like Tulane and American.</p>

<p>From another post by the OP

Frankly Tufts and Emory are big reaches. Tulane would be a good match. What can your family afford?</p>

<p>U Iowa.</p>

<p>Solid finance program and the Hawkinson Institute which is an honors program for finance majors. They gebnerally place several people each year with I-Banks in NYC, Chicago, etc. Most of the people in the program will have had much higher HS stats than you but you don’t apply to the Institute until your soph year and your HS stuff won’t matter by then.</p>

<p>[Hawkinson</a> Institute of Business Finance - Tippie College of Business - The University of Iowa](<a href=“Hawkinson Institute - Undergraduate”>Hawkinson Institute - Undergraduate)</p>

<p>Theres no such thing as pre-law major.
Anywho, for finance I would suggest:
Indiana University
University of Southern California
University of California at Los Angeles
University of Illinois
University of Florida
University of Minnesota
(sorry Iisted six)</p>

<p>^ With his stats, I highly doubt he has a fair chance at </p>

<p>University of Southern California
University of California at Los Angeles
University of Illinois </p>

<p>IU, Iowa, Boston College, Ohio State, and Tulane all seem like reasonable fits.</p>

<p>Tulane has an acceptance rate of 24%…</p>

<p>Boston College is not a fit now that I’ve seen his stats</p>

<p>^It also has a lower SAT 25-75 :)</p>

<p>U of I may have a 65%+ acceptance rate, but their business program is still more prestigious than Tulane, in my opinion. UCLA and USC, too.</p>

<p>Although I agree Tulane wouldn’t be a match, I think he would have a shot.</p>

<p>Nor do I think BC would be a match. Yet, again, I think he would have a shot. Private schools generally care more about ACT/SAT than UW GPAs.</p>

<p>EDIT: Maybe my use of the word “fit” didn’t work too well. By that, I meant they are schools he should consider applying, given the circumstances.</p>
