College recs

I am a High School senior and I am looking to go into political science as well as international relations to hopefully get into law school. Is there anything that could be recommended from anyone who’s either trying to follow the same path or has done it already? I’m lost as to how to go about college choices.

Hi, I'm interested in a similar path and I've done lots of research. The school you get your undergraduate degree from doesn't typically matter to law schools a whole bunch-- Your GPA and LSAT score are way more significant. Take it with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't base your choices off of getting into law school. Obviously, the bare minimum for your college of choice is a major that's significant to you (probably political science based on what you said). I would base your choices off of location, programs they have, and whether they align with your views. For example, one of my reach schools is NYU because I've always wanted to live in New York, and they have a study abroad program (I really want to see the world). This was vague, but I hope it helped! No problem if it didn't :)
