<p>Hello. I am currently a senior in high school and I am trying to decide between Case Western Reserve University, Boston University, and a small LAC named Washington and Jefferson College for my undergraduate studies. My hope is to attend a top law school (ex. Yale) and become a corporate lawyer. Which of these three institutions would prepare me best for law school and give me a greater chance of getting into a great law school? I am aware that a student who has a good GPA and good LSAT should get into a good institution, but out of the three, which would give that student the edge? Thank you.</p>
<p>They are all fine schools. I would suggest you go to the one where you think you will be able to work very hard and succeed in your chosen major. It really isn’t the college that prepares you for law school, it is you who prepares yourself for law school. It often comes down to self-discipline.</p>
<p>I’m abt. 75% Case and 25% BU, my mom made me put down a deposit for both.</p>
<p>This is OT, but double-depositing is a very bad idea, and a highly unethical thing to do.</p>
<p>It certainly is. you should release one of those deposits.</p>
<p>I haven’t signed up for orientation so I am not officially enrolled. By May 1, I was still having doubts. My cousin worked as an admissions officer and she said the deposit is not a contract; therefore it’s not binding, just non-refundable. I have also spoken with previous students who have done the same thing when in a pickle. I am not saying that this is a common practice, but it happens. When you sign up for orientation, then it’s serious. I understand other students are patiently waiting to get off the wait-list and I intend to decline admission soon. My mother thinks we should still revisit the college just to make sure, since I still have doubts. But nonetheless, ethical or not, I was indecisive by the deadline; therefore I had to put both down to buy myself more time.</p>
