Graduate School Law School

<p>Alright so I’m still in high school, but my situation is different than most.</p>

<p>I have received a 4 year $50,000 + scholarship from the Air Force, which is where I’m going after college. One catch: I have to, HAVE to major in computer engineering. No, there is no way to change this if I want the scholarship. I’m not completely interested in it but I know I’ll be good at it.</p>

<p>But yes… after a couple years in the Air Force I want to go to law school, also paid for by the Air Force, and become a lawyer. Will having a major in computer engineering in any way affect my chances for particular schools or any school for that matter?</p>

<p>If you get good grades, you should be fine for law school with a comp-E degree. What I would strongly suggest is that you take as many writing courses as possible - perhaps even after graduation - to demonstrate research/writing skills. That will help you both in admissions (if you can take a minor in English or philosophy) and in law school.</p>

<p>You’ll definitely be unique if you do well.</p>

<p>CS is a good degree to do patent law anyways so apply for that because it makes oodles.</p>
