<p>A career in patent law? I am applying to many schools, but odds are that I am going to UF for the class of 2015. I want to get a degree in engineering and then move on to law school and eventually practice patent law. I would of course want to get into a top-tier school for this. If I do well at UF, will I be able to fulfill my goal?</p>
<p>Yeah, absolutely. I don’t think the undergraduate school really matters. The law school you attend will (very much so!), however. You should try your best to get a high GPA.
You shouldn’t major in engineering if you couldn’t see yourself being an engineer, though.</p>
<p>Excellent GPA, excellent LSAT very important for law school. As far as becoming a patent attorney, (I’m assuming in the engineering field) engineering’s a great undergrad degree. My brother’s an attorney, and he’s trying to convince my d, who’s studying chemical engineering, to go to law school. He says they always need excellent technical/science attorneys in his corporate law firm. Also, the patent attorneys who work at my h’s company all have engineering undergrad degrees. Just remember GPA is important when applying to law school, so you need to be excellent in math and science because engineering is a difficult degree.</p>
