<p>If you’re sure that you want to go to law school after undergrad, it’s probably in your best interest not to do an engineering major. Unless you’re really bright, your GPA is probably going to suffer, and those .1-.2 points in GPA can really make a difference in law school admissions which are heavily numbers based.</p>
<p>1.) Computer Science
2.) Computer Systems Engineering
3.) Management Science and Engineering</p>
<p>not sure about the order.</p>
<ol>
<li>Management Mcience and Engineering</li>
<li>Mathematical and Computational Science</li>
<li>Applied Mathematics</li>
</ol>
<p>haha afacool- TWINS.</p>
<p>docketgold, yeah that is one of my worries but I’m not set on law school and the sort of law that I’m interested in, international environmental, has a scientific base to it. If I major in ChemE or EE undergrad, I’d have knowledge of the technical side of environmental legislation, which I think would work to my advantage.</p>
<p>“but I’m not set on law school and the sort of law that I’m interested in, international environmental, has a scientific base to it. If I major in ChewmE or EE undergrad, I’d have knowledge of the technical side of environmental legislation, which I think would work to my advantage.”</p>
<p>Yeah, but somehow I think this is more for the future than for immediate goals like <em>actually getting into law school</em> – I think it’s quite a rough ride getting into law school with an engineering major. I mean, you may be someone who can pull off all A’s in engineering, but most people I know can’t do that. </p>
<p>Then again, if you aren’t sure about law school, I’d say that you should study Chem-E or EE anyway, given if you’re interested in that stuff anyway, especially coming out of a top engineering program, your career prospects will be quite great anyway…law school or not. However, I’d be careful if you start getting really certain about law school.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but I just really hope that I don’t turn out like mathboy next year!</p>
<p>Computer Engineering / Comp Sci</p>
<p>possibly Mech E or Aero E minor type thing</p>
<p>Eventually want to go into Robotics</p>
<p>Poli Sci/Spanish.</p>
<p>Philosophy… Maybe with some economics or psychology.</p>
<p>Physics, with probably a Pre-Med track/requirements. Unless I change my mind and go the Physics/Econ route and do something business/financial-related…</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking though, physics at Stanford = going in over my head?</p>
<p>East Asian Studies</p>
<p>Is Psychology a POPULAR major at Stanford,
or is it the major that gave out the most degrees? (i think that was how i read it somewhere)
Would applying for psychology major be competitive?
It seems the vast majority is Biology and International studies etc.</p>
<p>English and African-American Studies</p>
<p>Human Biology</p>
<p>
Yes.
I wanna say Bio or HumBio gives out the most degrees? Not sure. Psych is up there but I don’t think it’s #1.
You never ‘apply’ for a major. Once you’ve been accepted, you can do any major you want. Also, the expected major that you write on your application doesn’t matter.
I don’t think IR is nearly as popular as majors like HumBio, Bio, and CS.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply Jimmy!
But on my application I’ve shown passion for psychology all over…
would it be suspicious to indicate something completely different as my major then?
I know that if you choose an unpopulat major, you have a better chance…</p>
