<p>Columbia hands down.</p>
<p>kidding. seriously though this is a loaded question. 1) when you say polisci do you mean you just want to take classes or are you interested in the academics of it all? 2) when you say polisci do you mean political theory, quantitative analysis of things like elections, voting patterns and behavior, are you interested in institutions, or maybe international politics (which one is the best depends on what you are interested in)? 3) i don’t know many of those schools that have a definitive pre-law program outside of maybe an advising office and some particular resources there.</p>
<p>so you wont find a good answer. the most judicious answer - they are all great schools and will offer you something, with good placement in law school (with Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton having the highest placement at ‘good’ schools). but then again you have to ask yourself, what kind of law are you interested? do you want to do corporate law, constitutional law, do you want to have a small practice in a small town? where you go to ugrad may impact where you can go to law school (some schools like hls and yls are uncannily nepotistic). so if you really love con law and want to clerk for the supreme court, you may have some aspirations. but if you just want to be a corner store attorney at law, then that is a different beast. and lastly, many of the top law schools take kids who went to college at a whole bunch of places.</p>
<p>but to the school i know most - columbia has a lot of prelaw kids, great polisci department with some real guns in political science (especially international politics), and you have some pretty good resources in the pre-law advising office. many of my friends are going to top 10 law schools, most hate law school, and almost all of them can’t wait to sell out and work 100 hrs a week.</p>
