<p>Before everyone jumps on you saying HS is too soon to be thinking about LS, and you might change your mind etc… I think you are just trying to make sure that you are keeping your options open, should you decide to go to LS. So with that in mind, here is my answer, for what its worth :-)</p>
<p>The undergrad school you choose will not haunt you. Law schools generally don’t care about which school you went, but do care about the GPA you received while you were there. So, actually if the school you are choosing will be a little easier for you than you feel you could handle, this will work to your advantage. It will allow you to get a strong GPA and give you time to get involved with EC’s which will help you with the “soft” part of your application. </p>
<p>The fact that you will not be going into huge debt for undergrad will be a big plus, regardless of if you ever end up in law school or not. </p>
<p>As far a an area of study, choose something that will give you a lot of practice with your writing skills and your reading comprehension skills. Also a little focus on logic or philosophy will help too. It sounds like those are in your plans already.</p>
<p>Good Luck next year in school, and enjoy your time there before you worry too much about the next step. Study what you enjoy and your path will hopefully become clear to you!</p>
