<p>malan, UR has a lot of opportunities with political involvment while on campus. I have two friends working in the GA now (and working from ~5:30am-8:30pm every day…) and both got their start as undergrads. </p>
<p>Unsure of law school acceptance rates, but all my friends who applied to law school were admitted. Nice thing about UR is they will give you admission to TC Williams (UR’s law school) if you achieve a certain SAT/ACT and maintain a minimum GPA while at UR, so no LSAT if you choose that route. I had a 33 ACT (~1480SAT) and received the invite, but don’t know what the cutoff is (got mine in '01). </p>
<p>Poly Sci is strong and has a nice new home. </p>
<p>Also, Richmond, the city, gets a bad rap, but it’s actually really nice in most parts. You should never have issues as long as you use common sense. I wish I had explored the city more as an undergrad. I liked it so much, I ended up sticking around after graduation.</p>
