Q1: Well a major is what you choose when you are determining the field of study you are going into (for instance law or in your case pre-law).
Q2: A undergraduate will be your classification when you enter college. It is your first four years or until you graduate with a Bachelors degree. A graduate will be your classification after you get your Bachelors degree and enter law school :o)
Q3: Boston College is ranked #28 in the US for law so its not a decision but you should also look into Boston University which is ranked #20.
Q4: Because there is no required degree to have in order to get into law school, the choice is pretty much up to you. But if your school has a Pre-law program, that would be a great choice. If not, be sure when you pick your major, let your electives (extra courses you decide to take) involve some business, communication, and writing courses…all important factors in being a lawyer!
Q5: Typically law schools will look at your undergrad GPA, LSAT (law school admission test) score, courses taken, writing sample, recommendations, and so on. Just check out the law schools you are considering website to see if they give ou any firther insight.
And thats about it…if you need anymore help…feel free to contact me…I in search of a law school myself right now :o)
Good Luck!
