<p>@TomServo: I agree. Of the two, physics probably needs more formal teaching/studying. However, I still have concerns about whether I could go into law with just casual reading.</p>
<p>@xraymancs: Do you think a minor would suffice considering the nature of law? I figured I would have to major in a writing intensive subject.
If a minor alone would be enough then I guess a physics major with a philosophy minor and any premed requirements would be ideal!
Your plan sounds good to me as I may find that I want to peruse a PhD in physics and therefore that would still be an option! I definitely wouldn’t want one in philosophy!</p>
<p>What I am curious about is whether I will have any electives left for other classes to aid whatever route I take, ie. maths/physics for the academic route, anatomy/biochem for medicine or political science for law! I should have AP bio, chem, maths and physics to the highest level offered so that could free up some space :)</p>
<p>Also, I found out today that physics and philosophy tend to score best on graduate entry exams, ie. gre, mcat and lsat. While that may not be a reason enough on it’s own to study a subject, I think it is indicative of a good choice in that it should improve intellectual dexterity :)</p>
