<p>At least when I graduated 10 years ago, I found that brown grads did very well in getting admitted to the top 10 law schools. I got into my top choice (Columbia) even though my lsat scores were well below Columbia’s average. At Columbia there were about 10-15 brown grads in each year. Everyone I knew from my year at Brown got into their first choice law school. NYU and Harvard are especially popular.</p>
<p>Law schools don’t like the idea of students having taken pre-law classes, because they like to work on a clean slate. I knew someone from my class at brown who majored in pure math and got into Yale. Law schools like majors that are unusual among lawyers, like engineering, physics, even music, etc. I myself studied Russian Lang. & Lit and Comparative Lit, although originally I had planned to study fine arts. </p>
<p>What’s great about Brown is that you can take what you want and have a lot of freedom to explore your own interests, discovering along the way that your interests will change, expand, and grow. The prospect of applying to law school shouldn’t restrict you at all along this path.</p>
<p>I can’t speak for the other schools, but I had a fantastic academic experience at Brown. I often tell people, the essence of what I do now as a lawyer I learned at Brown, not law school. Brown allows you to be creative and encourages you to be intellectualy curious and honest, qualities that are important for a good lawyer.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
