Ok so I have been accepted into every university, but I have absolutly no idea where to go. I want to be in Philadelphia, I love the city everything about it. I am Looking to enter law school so i want a program that can prepare me for that. I also really want to go to a catholic affiliated university.
My dream school has always been Penn and regardless I will most likely go there for grad school... the is purely for under grad. Here are my choices: St. Joseph's University Pros: Nice campus, small student body, good repuataion, catholic, jesuit Cons: Older facilities, doesn't have a great pre-law program, not very social La Salle University Pros: Nice campus, good pre- law program, full academic/athletic scholarship, well respected, catholic, amazing parties, I love the atmosphere and student body as of now my #2 choice Cons: Bad area of Philly, not as hard to get into as Nova and Penn. Villanova University: Pros: Awesome reputation, good athletics, beautiful campus, excellent pre-law program, catholic, averagely social Cons: too far from the city and too close to home (main line), extremely expensive, the majority of the student body is snobby, The University of Pennsylvania: Pros: Ivy League, extremely social, excellent academics and athletics, globally recognized, amazing campus, center city, amazing parties, 6th best school in the country, dream school Cons: Little to no money coming my way, huge student body, not catholic affiliated, heavy course load opinions/ advice needed I want to commit by Christmas |

QUOTE(JC the Snow Man) my only advice is that i wouldn't put TOO much into pre-law preparation. i mean you should for sure keep in mind what kind of programs the school has for that, but i wouldn't put all my stock in just that. i only say that though because i chose a school and then ended up changing my major. so it's nice to have something you like in general and that way if one factor does change you don't feel like you're only there for a reason that's no longer a big incentive for you. but that being said i also wouldn't choose a school with a bad program either. that's what makes all this hard though is it's such a give and take kinda situation. ^ That and pre-law is stupid. Pre-law is useless. Pre-law is not pre-med for law school. Pre-law is not a major. You can major in ANYTHING and go to law school afterwards. The most you have to worry about for law school is keeping a decent GPA in school and doing well on the LSAT - take LSAT prep course for that. Once you're in law school the majority of what you've learned in your undergrad doesn't mean too much aside from being complimentary in a potential future career. For instance, a lot of people major in accounting at my school then go to law school and bam you have an accountant lawyer. They don't worry about a pre-law program whatsoever. So I don't really have much advice but just don't pick a school based on pre-law. Oh yeah also Mike I don't like you and you're an abercrombie/hollister wearing f****t who steals graphics and the such, or something like that. |
