I am a current high school junior. I know it’s still crazily early to be thinking about a career in law, but I have some questions.

I am currently stronger in the maths and sciences. I still do well in other areas, but they don’t come as natural to me. I am taking AP Psychology this year instead of a history. I have never really loved history classes, but prefer current events. I love to debate and am very interested in the world. I am an active member of Model UN, Mock Trial, Debate Club, etc. I perform well in English classes and am a very good writer.

I know there is no “pre-law” major in college, but that you pursue another major such as History or English.

How important are history classes to a pre-law focus in college?
Will my math/science abilities be beneficial? Will I able to put them to good use?
What majors do you suggest? I was thinking maybe philosophy?


Thanks a lot for your help, I am trying to at least get a handle on what I want to do in college.
