<p>I applied to U Mich, Boston College, northeastern, American, rutgers, nyu, fordham, george washington engineering and law program, njit seton hall law program, drexels law program, case westerns pre-profession scholars law program, hofstras leap law program, and rensselaers law program.</p>
<p>I am having trouble deciding which college I would go to if I was to be accepted in all of them. I definitely want to go to law school and applied to law programs with some of my colleges where I automatically am accepted to the law school and can complete undergrad and law school in 6 years. But, I am not sure if it is worth it finishing school in 6 years with an okay law school if I could do 7 years with an amazing law school. GW's law program is with GW's law school, NJIT's is with seton halls law school, drexel is with drexels law school, case western is with case westerns law school, hofstras is with hofstras law school, and rensselaers is with columbia and albany law school. But I think that rensselaer is with columbia only under AILE which means I apply for the program junior year of my undergrad. Fordham has a program with its law school that I can only apply to junior year of my undergrad at fordham. the rest of my schools are just regular undergad, no programs.</p>
<p>University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) is one of the best public state flagships. They also have a highly regarded law school.</p>
<p>I would think that separating the “undergraduate” education from the eventual law school education is the better approach. Law is a field where the top students at the top universities do well in launching their careers, and where others struggle.</p>
<p>I agree with fogcity, because I think that you might find during college that you don’t want to go to law school, either because your interests change or the job market for lawyers doesn’t (it stinks right now).</p>
<p>I think you should consider what type of campus you would like as well. Northeastern and NYU are in the center of a city with very “campus”. BC has much more of a “secluded” campus feel to it, although you can certainly access the city easy enough.</p>
<p>They are all good schools, be sure you consider where YOU will be happy instead of focussing only on “Which school will get me the farthest”</p>
<p>I agree that there is no need to combine your undergrad work with law school. Pre-law is a waste of time. Study something interesting as an undergrad. Law schools want smart kids who read very well and have the ability to spot issues and analyse. It does not matter what your undergrad degree is (except pre-law - which looks boring).</p>
<p>Also - Michigan is a VERY highly regarded law school. (BC, Fordham, GW and NYU and others on your list are well regarded too - and Fordham will have the most beautiful urban law school by the time you are attending, just ask I.M Pei.)</p>
<p>Valid point, my brother (a lawyer) was a philosophy major in undergrad. They just really want you to be able to analyze from every angle as a lawyer does ;). And both my grandparents went to Duke Law school and she had her undergrad in Greek!</p>
<p>Mich. and NYU are my picks from that list. I live in DC and GW campus isn’t my favorite for anyone.</p>
<p>My cousin got a liberal arts degree at Northwestern and went on to law school on a full scholarship. I would take your four years as an undergrad and pursue something that really interests you other than law. Getting a classical studies degree would probably be really helpful. Keep your grades up and go for some scholarships for grad school!</p>
<p>I’d say that U Michigan and NYU are more prestigious than Boston College.
Michigan Engineering and NYU Business/Economics is very strong.
According to USN College Rankings: Michigan = 29th, BC = 31st, NYU = 33rd
But again, I’d place NYU over BC as it has very strong programs.</p>
<p>The Engineering/Law program at GWU does sound interesting though.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry much about it until you actually know where you’ve been accepted. That way, you won’t be set on one or two schools in particular, and you can stay open to all your eventual options. Just my two cents</p>
<p>I am not sure where I will get in but even if I got into NYU i doubt I can afford it especially considering that NYU doesn’t give out a lot money. I wanna go to BC but I am really interested in a more urban campus. and even though umich is a good school, i live in jersey and michigans too far away and WAY too cold. I applied to schools i know i cant afford just incase they decide to give me a good sum of money. I like rpi but its 70percent boys!</p>
