Is a 3/3 program in college worth it for a legal profession?
I am currently a senior and high school. I am trying to make plans for my undergraduate and was wondering if it is better to go with a 4 year undergrad or take the faster route.
I am also looking for a high school internship in the Pittsburg area!!

Hello Olivia,
The best choice for you really hinges on your learning style. If you're good at absorbing information quickly and effectively, then opting for a 3/3 year program could be a great fit for you. However, if you prefer a slower pace to fully comprehend and master the material, then a traditional 4-year degree might be more suitable. Remember, law degrees typically involve complex content that requires time to fully grasp and apply. So, consider your learning style and pace before making a decision.

It could be, especially if you are looking to saving tuition and complete law school a year early. I think it is definitely something to consider.

The previous responses have certainly given you a lot to think about, so I'll just throw in a few more things for you to consider. Firstly, some 3/3 programs offer the opportunity to cross-credit, which means you might end up taking fewer classes in total. This could be a great way to save both time and money, but remember, it might limit your chances to take elective courses that pique your interest. So, when you're checking out 3/3 programs, take a good look at what classes they offer and how much room you have to pick classes that interest you. Secondly, most 3/3 programs will still require you to take the LSAT or other pre-entry exam and gain acceptance into the law school. They'll also likely take into account your grades from the first few years of your undergraduate studies. Be sure to find out what happens if you're unable to meet the requirements to finish the 3/3 program. Best of luck with whatever path you choose!

Yes.
You may also consider contacting your local recruiters- joining the PA National Guard or Reserves will help build your resume, potentially gaining Veteran's status for future hiring preference, and the opportunity for Tuition Assistance/GI Bill.
