Which College/University?

I am going into High School and I have to start thinking about colleges that I want to go to. I don’t want to go to a community college or a state college. I do want to become a lawyer and I know what law school I want to go to. I want to go to Suffolk Law school (in MA). Only colleges and universities in MA please! Thanks!

First, I have to warn you that Suffolk isn’t considered a very good law school and your employment options after law school will be relatively limited if you do decide to go there.

But, if you have to go there for some reason, the good news is that your GPA and LSAT (like the SAT, but it gets you into law school) can be much lower than what would be required at a better school.

You would be fine going to a community college or a state school no matter what law school you wanted to go to (including Yale and Harvard), the key is to keep your grades as high as possible and do as well as possible on the LSAT. Any university is fine and will get you where you want to go, but since you’re determined to go to Suffolk I would advise you to go to the cheapest school you can get into–Suffolk’s median salary for graduates is $62,000 for those in private practice/industry, and $42,000 for those in public interest work. They don’t even report how many people have jobs at graduation (which is a horrible, horrible sign.)

Completely depends on how smart you are. The poster above me mentioned Harvard, which is obviously the best, but EXTREMELY hard to get into. You need to be brilliant, special, and lucky to get in.

That said there are other colleges that are in MA that require less intelligence (but are still very good)….

– Boston College

– Boston University

– UMASS

These are all great colleges, they are labeled in order of hardest to get into (hardest on top).

you may not change your mind about being a lawyer (though it’s very likely) but as far as what school you want to go to – that may change in the next four years.

but as far as massachusets schools go: (ignore the strange formatting)
