<p>Do whatever interests you. Lawyers come from all majors, and just about any major brings something to the table. Social science majors are particularly popular among future lawyers (particularly political science/government) and the SFS at Georgetown is filled with people who go on to be very good lawyers. Out of my own personal SFS circle, the number headed to law school at graduation is at least 40%. Philosophy is, in many ways, the best preparation for law school, as it emphasizes the same writing, argument, and analytical skills that make for a good lawyer, but there are other good choices. English teaches you writing and reading skills. Accounting or other business majors help with corporate law/financial issues. Science can help you if you end up in patent law/intellectual property, and the knowledge can pop up usefully in unexpected places (many legal disputes hinge on technical issues, and understanding those issues is important).</p>
<p>Anyway, Georgetown is an excellent place for prelaw, and places a great number of students each year at all the top law schools. As mentioned, the early assurance program with Georgetown Law (you apply as a junior without taking the LSAT) is a big advantage given the strength of the Georgetown Law. As you’re accepted before senior year begins, it can also give you important peace of mind in your law school search.</p>
