<p>So, i’ve been looking into UCLA a lot, as living in LA has always been sort of a dream, and it’s very highly rated amongst the national ranks. My courses of interest would be English or Pre-law (or both). Does UCLA offer good programs on these majors?</p>
<p>UCLA has a pretty good english program from what i hear. ‘pre-law’ isn’t really a major, but UCLA has strong programs in the majors that prelaw usually take e.g. english, philosophy, polisci. </p>
<p>Phil. majors do extremely well on the LSAT and GRE from what i hear, but phil. also isn’t an easy major, so it has its ups and its down.s</p>
<p>Do what you’re interested in. I’ve had friends (keep in mind, they’re all pretty awesome as far as school/extra currics) who have gone communications (tough @ UCLA)-> Vanderbilt, I believe… French -> Georgetown and Biz Econ -> Univ. of Chicago. This is an awesome opportunity to study what you like, you’ll be happier (and I’d hope, have a higher GPA) as a result.</p>
<p>Major in what you are most interested. Don’t base your major on what you think you’re going to do as a career after college, because odds are that you simply will not.</p>
<p>Whatever you major in, I highly recommend supplementing with quantitative coursework like math and econ. It helps quite a bit if you can do well both for grad school admissions as well as in the job market.</p>
