Match Me: Rising Senior Interested in Law! [IN resident, 3.78/1370]

I just wanted to echo this, and suggest it also implies that what you major in is also less important than ending up in a major where you do really well.

The sorts of colleges you are looking at are generally all good for this. But, for example, I would not necessarily put a strong value on a college being really good for IR, since maybe you will find you are best suited for Econ, or indeed something you didn’t expect. And the more selective law schools will not particularly care if you, say, end up as an Art History major instead, even though that may seem completely unrelated to your intended legal career.

Because the expectation is really that outside of patent law, whatever you need to know for a specific legal practice will be taught to you long after college, indeed most of it after law school.
