Hey. I need some suggestions for law schools. I have a 3.7 gpa or something like that. I want something that will wow my future employers. Hartfords a no-brainer, but what are some others?
thx :D
Answers:
Remember that a law degree (J.D.) is a graduate degree. As you mentioned that you are now in the 10th grade, i think that you should be more concerned about choosing an undergraduate shool and major that will further your dreams of becoming a lawyer.
Talk to your school's counsellor regarding these undergraduate issues. many kids are finding that the old standby of "Pre-Law" as a major no longer guarantees entry into a top level law program, as law schools look to diversify the experience %26 backgrounds of their student body.
When you are through your first year or two of undergraduate education, then you will be ready to start choosing a Law School.

If you meant Harvard, the inability to spell it might hurt your chances. Except for your first job after graduation, no one cares where you went to school. They care about your abilities. Still, top schools include Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Georgetown, Stanford, Michigan, u of Chicago. With a 3.7 GPA, you stand little chance of getting in to any of those unless there is something else extraordinary about you or your experience.
A 3.7 gpa is not gonna wow anybody. Buy a copy of US News %26 World Reports ranking of Graduate schools. It's in your bookstore.
