<p>I got accepted to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute accelerated management-law program. Basically it is 3 years for a B.S. in Management, then 3 years at law school. I am already accepted to Albany law school because of this program. However, I am worried about its reputation. Only 1-3 students a year are chosen for this program, so I hope I do well. Should this help me get into some very good top law schools? I know people from this program got into Columbia, Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, and others. I just hope I will do well, and that the LSAT won't kill me. I pretty much bombed the SAT, so it makes me wonder what they saw in me to pick me for this program.</p>

<li><p>Without knowing the details of your program (congrats on your acceptance!), I can summarize the advice you'll probably get: do well in classes, do well on the LSAT, go anywhere that numbers allow. Ultimately, these "objective" factors will weigh much heavier in your application than anything else. If previous graduates of your program have gone on to the schools you list, then you know that the program has the potential to send you to any school for which you're qualified :)</p></li>
<li><p>The Berkeley application noted that if you were a bad test taker and could back up the claim (i.e. with low SAT score and strong college performance, showing that you're more capable than test scores alone would suggest), then you should submit relevant info and they would consider it. I don't know of other schools that offer the same suggestion, but it might be something keep in mind, just in case.</p></li>

<p>Good luck, and enjoy RPI!</p>
