Hi,

I am a Senior in a NY Public high school. Right now, I’d like to study pol. science, maybe international relations in undergrad, and go to Law School in the US. I got into the McGill Faculty of Arts, St. Michael’s at U of T, and SUNY Binghamton. I have heard that St. Michael’s isn’t particularly difficult to get into, but there isn’t a lot of information that I have seen about that particular college at all. I am trying to decide which school to go to, and I want to keep in mind the high GPA I would have to get at the undergraduate school.

Money is not a huge factor- McGill tuition would be under $2000 USD, Binghamton $6,000, and U of T $6500.

I was hoping anyone versed in Law school admissions or undergraduate political science studies at any of these 3 schools could give me some input. Thank you!

At McGill and Toronto you will have to work for a high GPA. Both have large poly sci departments. Are you a dual US/Canada citizen? I ask because of the low cost you mention for those schools.

The link in this thread may be of interest in terms of relative GPA and LAST for law school admission based on undergraduate school.
