<p>Law school admissions is mainly about LSAT score and GPA. See [Welcome</a> to LawSchoolNumbers.com | Law School Numbers](<a href=“http://lawschoolnumbers.com%5DWelcome”>http://lawschoolnumbers.com) .</p>

<p>Virginia Tech appears to have a somewhat better reputation than Virginia for engineering, although the difference is probably not that significant – fit and cost type considerations would likely be more important.</p>

<p>Note that ABET accreditation is helpful if you intend to take the patent exam; see <a href=“http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/oed/GRB_March_2012.pdf[/url]”>http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/oed/GRB_March_2012.pdf&lt;/a&gt; . In most engineering fields, any decent program should be ABET accredited (and ABET accreditation is especially important in civil engineering, where PE licensing is common). But in some areas, like computer science, bioengineering, and some unusual interdisciplinary engineering majors, there may be good programs without ABET accreditation. Check [ABET</a> -](<a href=“http://www.abet.org%5DABET”>http://www.abet.org) if that is a concern.</p>
