Math Major, which school would you go to?

College Majors

<p>My son was accepted to UCSD, SLO and Pepperdine in Math. He ultimately wants to go to law school. Which undergraduate school do you think is a better choice and which has cache for the law schools, does it make that much of a difference to the law schools which undergrad you went to?</p>

<p>Of those three, UCSC absolutely has the better math program, hands down.</p>

<p>That said…why is your kid majoring in math if he wants to go to law school?</p>

<p>Yes, your undergrad institution matters. If two people have the same degree and same GPA, but one went to Loyola and the other went to Stanford, there is a clear difference. But you will also perform better at less-prestigious institutions. I vote UCSD.</p>

<p>^typo: UCSD* absolutely has a better math program.</p>

<p>Math is actually a very good pre-law major.</p>

<p>UCSD is by far the most prestigious for math and possibly overall.</p>
