<p>OK, I’m Not exactly stuck on Syracuse (but I’m Seriously considering it) because, I’m just starting high school in 2010-2011 school year (yes I know, I know. Please take me seriously though my education Is very Important to me and I’d like to be as prepared as possible).
I am absolutely sure though of two possibilities of careers I’d like to pursue. The first being something In Law, such as F.B.I or Forensic Scientist (Not because of Movies and CSI but because I’ve talked to people and gotten pamphlets and all that). I’ve looked alot of schools and I’m a bit confused about Syracuse.
So there Is Syracuse, but than there is Syracuse College of Law, are they two different schools or…what? I know I’m young but I’m not ignorant. OK a bit ignorant but ignorance isn’t always bliss.
Also , I was on Collegeboard.com and For considerations for admission it says they consider racial/ethnic status…?</p>
<p>Thanks for any replies clearing this up for me.</p>
<p>Syracuse is a university, which means that it’s made up of different colleges, like the School of Architecture, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Management, and the School of Law (and more…don’t want to list them all). Syracuse College of Law is a part of Syracuse University. If you want to be a forensic scientist, then I doubt law school is going to help you with that. And before you even think about going to law school, you need to get an undergraduate degree first, you can’t go straight from high school to law school, you have to go from high school to undergraduate college to law school. </p>
<p>Yes…it says considerations are racial/ethnic status. A lot of colleges consider racial/ethnic status a little bit in admissions…so if you’re a race or ethnicity that isn’t common at the school, it could give you a tiny boost because it will increase diversity.</p>
<p>And honestly, if you’re only in eighth grade, get off College Confidential and don’t worry about it for now. Just focus on doing well in school - getting good grades and getting involved in extracurricular activities. Besides, what you think you want to be when you’re thirteen could be very different from what you want to be when you’re in a senior in high school.</p>
