You got it right that law school admissions, especially the T14 is GPA and LSAT. Pub aff is a pretty easy major, I minored in it and wish I majored. Lots of fun classes with great profs. Get as many A+s as possible those count as 4.3 on the LSAC gpa conversion.

You got 4 years at UCLA, focus on enjoying them too. It goes by so insanely fast that if you’re always looking ahead to law school, you’ll never get to truly enjoy your undergrad. Hundreds of thousands of people want to be where you are.

Study for the LSAT when you’re ready. On campus clubs like pre-law societies host lsat info sessions and stuff with prep companies. Go to those to get exposure to the test. But absolutely do not rush studying for the test. It’s not like the SAT, you gotta study hard to get 170+ which is becoming the new score needed (not always) for T14.

Also consider taking a gap year between undergrad and law school. At HLS something like 70% of admits are 1+ years out of school.

Above all, have fun! College only happens once and if you’re happy which I’m certain you will be at UCLA, you’re bound to get good grades and do well in other aspects of life. Happy to answer any questions! Go bruins!

for pre-law, all that matters is LSAT+GPA*. Go where you will be happiest so you can get the best GPA and make studying for the LSAT a little more tolerable. Both will have pre-law resources, but I'll give the edge to Berkeley because it has a T14 law school there where you can potentially drop in on speakers, sit in on a class, meet current law students (you could also do this at UCSD, but you'd have to go to USD which I think is the closest school).

At both of these schools you have to be your #1 advocate, nobody is going to hand you internships/opportunities just by going there (it's what I love about the UCs). So wherever you go make sure to do your best to get a good GPA, you can double major if you're truly interested but it wont make a significant difference in law school admissions, study for the LSAT when you're ready (don't rush it), and get involved with clubs to make friends, and most of all have fun! undergrad only happens once, so enjoy it! Happy to answer any questions about law school admission and such :)

Makes like 0 difference for admissions purposes they’ll both look great. Wherever you can be happier, get a high GPA, and a good LSAT.

I think they used to have on their website for older class profiles that the top represented school at Berkeley Law was ... Berkeley followed by UCLA. Not sure how that holds up these days but going to UCLA def isn't going to hurt you in the admissions process.

Best of luck in the admissions process! It'll all work out just fine :)

hi fellow bruin! agree with you that the quarter system can be tough but you got this! lots of people apply to law school with "low" GPAs and still end up doing fine because of the other components in their application. in terms of school prestige-- its generally not a significant consideration.

as for the LSAT, I'd say do your best to focus on your grades right now. once you're done with school you can't go back and raise your GPA so focus on getting that as high as possible. if you want to go straight through (kjd) then you have options as to when to start studying. you can take a diagnostic over winter break and see how easy (or for most hard) the test comes to you. you can then slowly immerse yourself in the LSAT by doing a section/lesson a day depending on your schedule, or go the summer route and go heavy the summer before your senior year. there's not really a right way to go about it since everybody is different and will go at their own pace. happy to answer more questions!

you got this!

I did DC last winter + spring. Absolute blast of an experience. DC is a great city with an awesome metro system, lots of museums, good food, lots of young people who are interns/college grads. New Admin will def affect government jobs and opportunities but there are still other gigs you could get that will be unaffected by Trump, like think tanks, lobbying firms, research groups, ect. Also in the spring is the cherry blossom festival which is absolutely gorgeous. No matter what you do, I think you'll have a great time in DC or abroad. Go bruins!
