It is absolutely not too late. Law schools care about gpa and LSAT scores. Problem solving and critical thinking and analysis, as well as good written and communication skills are important attributes for a lawyer. It does not matter what you major in. In fact, applying with your science background will be a benefit because law schools like to have a well-rounded and diverse class. They don’t want everybody majoring in political science and pre-law! Lol so you actually will have an edge over other applicants by virtue of your science major. There are many fields in law where you will be able to utilize your science background—health & pharmaceutical law, patent law, medical malpractice and insurance defense. Of course there are so many other areas of law that you can fall into. You will figure out your interests in law school. Good luck!
