what is the best school to go to if you want to be a lawyer?

Answer 1

I don'tthink the school that you go to for an undergrad before getting into law school really matters that much. What matters more is that you have a respectable transcript and resume, and that you have EXCELLENT and I do mean EXCELLENT LSAT scores. Of course, the exception is if you are in some top-tier university like Emory, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Rice, Southern Cal, or similar.

If I were to go for a pre-law curriculum I would try to add some courses that demonstrate my flexibility as a learner. Those dummies who do nothing otherthan their social science stuff and history lessons in my opinion waste a lot of their credits on fluff. Better to take challenging courses like mathematics. An A in a calculus or organic chemistry class looks more impressive to me on a resume than an A in History of the Development of the Gun. You know what I mean?

Essentially, don't shoot for the moon with your undergrad. Go to a GOOD school where you can get good grades and a good basic education so that you can apply to an EXCELLENT law school upon graduation.
