Is this the school for me?
After careful examination, I have come to the conclusion that this school can be one option that I can keep in mind when I apply for college in 2018. The major that I am interested in is criminal justice or law. There are no “right” or “wrong” majors for attending law school. However, it is widely recommended that students take at least one reading and a writing intensive course. Common law-related concentrations for those who wish to explore the law as part of their undergraduate major include; Public Policy: Law & the Legal System, History & The Law. These courses are all available at Standford.
