Re: \"major in anything and go to law school\"
FWIW, I am at BC and was told that with my stats I'd be a good transfer candidate to NYU or Columbia, with a shot at Harvard.
I decided that the scholarship money I was receiving and the comparable job prospects meant that it didn't make sense for me.
Granted, if I was really gunnin for a SCOTUS clerkship or a teaching position down the line, maybe I would have considered it, but with the exception of a handful of firms, theres not much that I can't at least get my foot in the door.
In addition, despite loving the big names, I think a lot of firms are starting to recognize that being in the top 1% at Cardoza is probably >>>>>> bottom 10% at yale when it comes to ability, motivation, etc.
Of course, if you can transfer to a HYS AND kick ass, then maybe it'd make sense for down the line marketability, but I think a lot of people transfer for the wrong reason.
or maybe i'm just rationalizing my own decisions, but whatever.
