<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I’m trying to get into law school, focusing on either environmental law or public defense. My dream is to attain a JD/MBA. Obviously, plans change, as I’m only a senior in high school now, and I don’t want to choose my major preparing for law or business school only to realize that I don’t want to go.</p>

<p>My basic interests as far as majors go are: Economics, Environmental Science, Political Science, Biology, Psychology/Sociology.</p>

<p>The intimidating thing for me is that I’m not fantastic with math. I work hard; but if it doesn’t come naturally to me, will I survive as an Economics major? Which of these majors (or feel free to suggest another!) will be most valuable for me for my undergraduate work?</p>

<p>There’s very little math involved in the econ major, unless you’re planning on going the quantitative route. Just some basic stats and applications should be fine.</p>

<p>Generally: the B.S. will be more valuable than the B.A. If you’re thinking about going into IP/Patent law (see law school forum), biology could be useful if you want to go into biotech law or business. Econ is a versatile and safe bet. The fact that there’s typically limited amounts of math is reflected in the fact that econ is often awarded as a B.A. </p>

<p>Anyway, you never know what you’ll like once you take an actual class.</p>
