<p>i’m pre-law and while i’m an econ major (I always excelled at english and teachers always told me to be an english/lit major but I can’t stand english personally) i’ve met a LOT of english majors in the undergrad law society.</p>
<p>It makes sense, to me - Law students need to have strong reading comp, reasoning/analytical abilities, and strong writing skills - English is an obvious choice for many pre-law students. Plus those reading comp skills will really help out on the LSAT’s, which is 1/3 reading comp. Seems like every other English major I meet is either pre-law, or wants to be a teacher/prof. So yeah, English majors are not uncommon imo. And I think majoring in English makes a lot more sense than journalism, unless it’s journalism as part of a double major.</p>
