<p>If your intention is to do law later, do all you can to make sure you have a very good GPA. For example, my daughter has very strong work ethic, rarely sick from birth to high school, not even an ear infection, but in her freshman year she got sick twice, I guess due to exposure to a lot of different people in college. So what I’m trying to say, is plan for the unexpected. She got easy A in Political Science class but took it as P/NP(not recommend for law school), she also didn’t know she would have gotten easy A in that class. But the plus side is she was able to channel her energy into getting top grades for her CS and math classes. It was not a clear choice that I would have forecast but when finals came and her grades were posted, I can see it was an advantage. It was not that she was failing, she was carrying a pesky A- and she finally made to a strong A. I think in college an A- is 3.7 and an A is 4.0. Not sure if her school gives any difference in weight for A+ and A, so that may not an advantage. But in law school there is a difference between a 3.7 average and a 4.0 average. One gives you more options and possibly more scholarship money which will definitely helps.</p>
