<p>Huh. All good stuff to consider, hadn’t even thought of joint programs.</p>
<p>CD, she’s interested in going the public policy route. She’ll probably have two internships on Capitol Hill before Senior Year and that will have a lot to say about whether she wants to go in that direction. She’ll also need to confirm what academic credentials are/are not needed for what she wants to do. Working on the legislative side, which is where her interests lie, make a law degree very desirable. </p>
<p>Jonri, there’s many a slip between cup and lip but so far her grades are making HLS a possiblity if coupled with a requisite LSAT score. Considering that one of her majors is mathematics, I’m actually slightly unnerved, a sense I would not want to convey to her, but I digress.</p>
<p>The other major question is whether to aim directly for law school or to work for a year or two first and stash some cash. Complicating the equation is how much prep time she will need for the LSAT and thus when to take the LSAT, factoring in the fact that she probably wouldn’t return from Budapest until May or so of her junior year and then have an internship. I know that a lot of the law schools have rolling admissions and that an early test date is therefore desirable but there’s little point in taking the LSAT if she hasn’t done the prep.</p>
<p>All this stuff is still a bit far out but it’s not <em>that</em> far out…about 18 months at this point.</p>
