<p>Alright so if I am hoping to go on to a top law school what would be the better option given these benefits (as well as those I forgot to mention)?</p>
<p>Ohio State University (Honors Program)</p>
<pre><code> Benefits:
-Many, many courses to choose from
-Easier to have a stronger GPA (I am assuming)
-Will be at the top of the class which may not otherwise be the case
</code></pre>
<p>Brandeis University</p>
<pre><code> Benefits:
-Smaller classes (easier to get to know profs, etc.)
-More studious environment (less distractions which helps offset the
GPA factor mentioned above)
-Offers a minor in legal studies while Ohio State does not
</code></pre>
<p>Differences such as cost and campus (have visited and am fine with both) do not matter. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I’m not an expert. It’s based off your preference. But, if you’re pretty sure about law school, I’d say Ohio State. You’ll be paying much less which will aid with the money spent for a top law school. Also, it’s a fairly well known school which can’t hurt.</p>
<p>And also does anyone know how significant of a benefit that minor in legal studies might be (if even a benefit at all)? If it makes no difference then my decision will be a lot easier.</p>
<p>Is very unlikely to matter at all but if it matters will be a negative, not a positive. Minors are very unimportant. If you were talking about a major, this is one of very few majors which law schools explicitly say they don’t want to see. But in any case, minors are very unimportant.</p>
<p>Agree with the legal studies minor not playing any role. Top law schools are most impressed with a strong performance in a classic undergraduate major of either science/engineering or traditional liberal arts.</p>
