YOU say that major doesn’t matter- meaning poli sci vs. history. But there are posters on CC who are ready to pound the table that criminal justice, recreation management, etc. are fine for law school as long as you “protect” your GPA. Which is why I asked for data upthread. I’ve seen no evidence at all in the real world that 4.0 Sports Management grads do better (or equal) traditional liberal arts grads in law school admissions. And if you want to become a top agent (which many of the sports management young people I know thought they were going to do), studying history and going to law school is a faster track than studying sports management and trying to figure out the 2022 version of “worked my way up from the mailroom”.
I like your qualifier, but many do not believe it! And criminal justice-- different kettle of fish entirely. As is “legal studies” as a major!
