<p>According to your link, Math majors score less than 3 points better than Philosophy majors. But I’d imagine that the average GPA of philosophy majors at Duke is at least a good 0.3 higher than the average math major. </p>
<p>A 174/3.8 will get you into Harvard, but a 177/3.5 all but shuts you out of consideration.</p>
<p>I was just emphasizing that GPA is most important variable at a school like Duke (where most undergraduates are probably smart enough to do well on the LSATs). If law school is the goal, choosing a difficult major (I stand by my belief that unless you actually have a knack at math, you will have a hard time with the math major - speaking from anecdotal evidence) will not really help.</p>
