<p>To a certain extent, major does help you with the LSAT - if you are trained to be analytical, you’ll do better. Some of it is also self-selection, both in the overall intelligence of people in those majors and the overall intelligence of the people in those majors who tend to go to law school. I would wager that the history majors who go to law school are a good representative sample of all history majors. I would also wager that the same is not true of engineers and physicists. The enigneers I know who are in law school always had a stronger interest in writing, humanities, and politics -> not a representative sample. Just something to consider.</p>
