<p>At UCLA there are two majors that fall in my category: English B.A and Comparative Literature B.A. If someone wants to go on to an Ivy league law school after graduation, which major would be better? </p>

<p>The reason I ask is because Comp Lit is super unimpacted with only like 50 applicants per Fall semester which results in a 60% accept rate. English, on the other hand, is highly impacted. I have been told that both are good for future law shool students. Which is better though? Put simply, what is the major difference between these majors that makes so many people flock to english and so little go with Comp lit?</p>

<p>Honestly, I doubt your chances of getting into an Ivy League law school will be significantly affected based on which one of those majors you complete. There are much more important factors in the selection process. I would suggest taking the one you can get the best grade in, and which consists of coursework that will best prepare you for the LSATs.</p>
