<p>Hello, I am currently an Undergraduate (1st year) student at the University of Georgia. I am a Pre-Business major and I am planning on majoring in Accounting. Right now, I am torn between attending Law School or just sticking with Accounting. So I’m going to do my best to keep my options open, until I decide whether or not Law School is for me. Here is my four year plan: </p>
<p>Year 1: Core Classes, maintain 3.8-4.0 GPA, apply for the UGA Honors Program, play Club Ultimate, maybe find a few organizations I would like to join.
Summer after Year 1: Non-paid Internship at an Accounting Firm (I’m assuming I won’t be able to get a paid internship spot, as I don’t really know much about accounting yet). Be a kid.
Year 2: Finish Core Classes, maintain good GPA, maybe look into Research opportunities, play Ultimate, apply for and hopefully get into Terry (UGA’s B School).
Summer after Year 2: Non-paid internship at a Law Firm, start studying for LSAT.
Year 3: Start taking Upper Level courses, maintain good GPA, play Ultimate, and take the LSAT.
Summer after Year 3: Paid Internship at an Accounting Firm (Big 4 hopefully), keep studying for the LSAT’s if my previous scores weren’t strong.
Year 4: Finish Upper Level courses, finish with at least a 3.8, play Ultimate, take the LSAT for the final time, apply to Law Schools, apply for MaCC programs.
Summer after Year 4: See what Law Schools I get into (hopefully T-14), see if I can get hired at a Big 4 Accounting Firm, see how much Law School will cost me, decisions, decisions, decisions. </p>
<p>How does my plan look? I’m still confused to whether going to Law School is worth it; I’ve heard lot’s of different things. Law School will cost me 100k of debt, plus 3 years of not working, but does it pay off at the end?</p>
