Hello fellow students and adcoms. I would like to ask for some general feedback on my plan for my next 3 years at USC and see whether I am on the right track for getting into a law school.

I am a sophomore Business Major at Marshall @USC. I am minoring in Music Industry taking classes in Music Law and intellectual property. I am on track for a finance degree, but recently found after an internship that finance is not for me. I am a much better writer, analyzer, and articulator than a numbers person. I recently decided to make the switch to become Pre-Law so that I can pursue my dreams of working in the Music Industry, but deal with the salient legal issues developing in the music industry today.

What I want to know is, although I know that Business can often hurt you when applying to law schools (and with Marshall it hurts your gpa), is my passion for music and getting some law and entertainment law internships in my next two years make me worthy of law school. This is assuming a 3.5+ gpa and a 160+ LSAT, but I am not asking for a chance at a school. I WANT TO KNOW IF LAW SCHOOLS WILL LOOK PAST THE BUSINESS AND SEE THAT I HAVE A PASSION FOR MUSIC ISSUES?

Law school is where I see myself and I am doing everything I can to get there by making the grades and getting the scores. I just want some feedback on whether or not my interests will likely shine through to law school adcoms?

I am very involved in music, an amateur music producer, DJ.

Any feedback is appreciated!
