Legal Studies at Berkeley or Poly Sci at UCLA?

<p>If you are aiming for a top 5 law school (Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, UChicago), then Berk is probably better. Can’t say exactly why, but more people generally go from berk to a top 5 than from UCLA</p>

<p>Might be better support networks. Might be that the given schools have better students. I doubt that it’s the student make-up though since I feel that UCLA and UCB attract students of comparable caliber, which makes it difficult to explain having twice as many people go from UCB to Yale. Impossible to know for sure, can only look at the numbers. It’s still advisable to get out of legal studies if you go to Berk though.</p>

<p>If you are aiming any lower, probably UCLA. After you get out of the top 5, UG starts mattering less. LSAT and GPA are basically sole determinants. You’d already be in PoliSci if you went to UCLA, a subject it sounds you can maintain a high GPA in.</p>
