College Search & Selection

<p>I live in East shore of Maryland, I go to Wor-Wic community college and have completed 30 credits in a Gen. Studies AA degree track.I have a 3.893GPA and am in various honors programs and E.C's are very deeply rooted into my life and huge part of my admission story
I would like to go out of state for undergrad(UVA/Duke), but knowing how much the financial aid offices favor keeping in state residents in state for their education, I would be open to staying in state.UMD College Park would be where I would like to transfer if I have to stay in state for financial reasons. I was wondering if i should go for the UMD Honors Program and get a B.A in Philosophy, or go for their more highly ranked (#1 in nation according to US News rankings) Criminology program? My goal is to go to law school and become an attorney (not sure specialization yet, but if criminology tract is chosen, probably a criminal defense att'y or prosecutor. Any feedback would be great.</p>

<p>I was also thinking of maybe doing a pre-med track in preperation for some type of health-care related law field. Would likely get a degree in pre-med from UMD:CP or Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>What do you all think is best track to take for my goal of going to Top Tier Law school such as Yale/Harvard/UCBerkely/etc....?</p>

<p>Btw, my GPA so far is 3.893 and I take honors courses and have only gotten 1 B (a 89% in Health class) and am a member of Phi Theta Kappa and the Honors program designation. Plan on being the SGA and PTK presidents in Fall. Also starting a soup kitchen in a local resort town stricken with homelessness. these are just some of my stats and goals. I also have gotten a 170 on a practice Lsat test and my range is 164-173 on these LSATS ive found on some sites that have old tests.</p>

<p>Have you discussed all of this with the transfer advisor at Wor-Wic? That person will know all about your options in state, and can help you find answers about transferring elsewhere.</p>

<p>JHU: Reach</p>

<p>Admittedly, I do not know that much about transfers or law school admissions other than law school (and pharmacy school, as well) admissions are numbers games and that JHU is a reach for anyone even in transfer.</p>

<p>I have, admittedly I have not done so recently so I do need to do that. They are reluctant to speculate on the hypothetical though, in my experience.</p>

<p>I Just got an email from Columbia Univ.'s School of General Studies urging me to apply. I’d love to go to Columbia U, that would be a dream. Should I apply now? Or should I wait?</p>

<p>You may want to look up [Welcome</a> to LawSchoolNumbers.com | Law School Numbers](<a href=“http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com%5DWelcome”>http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com) to see what kind of GPA and LSAT scores are realistic for each law school.</p>

<p>No specific courses or major are required for law school admissions. [LSAT</a> Scores of Economics Majors: The 2008-2009 Class Update by Michael Nieswiadomy :: SSRN](<a href=“Page Cannot be Found”>LSAT Scores of Economics Majors: The 2008-2009 Class Update by Michael Nieswiadomy :: SSRN) shows how students of different majors do on the LSAT. That math and philosophy majors do well on the LSAT may be related to the part of the LSAT that tests logical thinking that those majors select for and mentally exercise their students in.</p>
