If you are going to be a lawyer, you should know the high paying law firms recruit from only the top 30 law schools. Please be aware that to get into a top law school-- the SUNY universities have little representation. The U.S. News and World Report rates SUNY Binghamton as number 86 in the nation; this is supposedly the best SUNY school. Depending on your financial situation, I would suggest attending an undergraduate school that is at least ranked in a top 50 for undergraduate programs. Check out the UCs. Five out of the seven are ranked ahead of Binghamton.

It’s true that the prestige of your law school matters for job recruitment, but law school admissions is a whole different scenario.
