Tufts vs. Emory for undergrad if child wants to be lawyer

[Anonymous]

If your child is set on law school eventually, which would you choose undergrad: Tufts or Emory? Child needs to decide between the two by May 1.

Choose whichever one your child believes he or she can get a higher GPA at. Combination of grade inflation/campus atmosphere/academic intensity.

Emory was out of control today with Hamas protestors. FYI.

Yo mean anti-genocide protesters?

As far as law school us concerned, GPA and LSAT matter a lot along with extracurriculars so wherever he gets a chance to learn and apply analytical and leadership skills.

They were chanting repeatedly, “We are Hamas!!!”

So…..Hamas protestors is accurate.

So you want to get into a top 14 Law School to maximize options.

In that regard, I think Tufts will be a little better as the IR/Poli Sci will be a little more well known.

I do agree with see where they can get the highest GPA. Grain of Salt--Law Schools can compare multiple applicants and their GPAs from a particular school. They know a GPA at Cornell, BU, GW, etc. is harder to achieve. As I recall Tufts is moderately hard grading.

I remember 11 or 12 Emory students getting into Harvard law in one year not too long ago. Like 2019. Either way Emory is in a different league academically from Tufts.

It doesn’t matter at all.

You again…..Emory is not in a different league. It is in a very different city.

Are costs the same/relevant? Law school is expensive

It’s not the protests at Emory that would make me pause but the way the administration called police onto the campus

You say this with such certainty, but I have no idea which you think is superior “academically”. As if that was something you could measure.

I take that back. It was a combination.
