| Don't pick your major based on the typical pre-law school majors. Pick your major because you genuinely love the discipline. Many people will tell you to major in philosophy or economics because they teach you logic and analytical thinking. True: you should take some courses in philosophy and economics because they will help you develop analytical skills, but those majors may not be your passion. I'm a business major and I plan on applying to T14 law schools. Business is an easy major according to most, but I've challenged myself by taking courses from other disciplines. I've applied to UCB (Haas) and UCLA (Business Econ). Haas grads from the last several years have gone to virtually every law school - including Harvard, Columbia and University of Chicago. Pick a major that you like and then challenge yourself beyond the major' requirements. In the end GPA and LSAT scores matter alot though. Keep your GPA high, plan on taking a month-long LSAT prep course and score over 170 on it and you can get into just about every law school. |
