Since Duke is a competitive school to enter, you should go to the best udergrad program that you can get into. If you are considering political science because of politics, consider going to Georgetown, George Washington or Johns Hopkins – all of which have great programs in the D.C. area.

Other top rated Poli Sci programs include: Yale, Princeton, Harvard, UC-San Diego and U of Virginia.

Even if you can’t get into one of those programs don’t fret. Just get into the best school that you can (which may not be the best school out there) and do as well as you can. Also, volunteer and get active in school clubs and student government. Finally, do as well as you can on the LSAT.

Good luck.

Good luck!!

Another piece of advice: If you are a freshman in high school, don’t stress about college. I worried about college every day of my life and as a result, I had no fun in high school. Just go with the flow, and focus on day to day stuff for now, and leave the college decisions to the the end of your junior year.
