<p>So here’s my situation: I’m currently in the CNS as a bio major. I know I said I’m pre-law, and I am. Initially I thought that I wanted to do patent law specifically, which is why I applied to the CNS (and admittedly, I was considering pre-med) but now I’m mostly interested in corporate law. The thing I’m worried about is that I’m already taking a light courseload (13 hours), and now I probably can’t join any clubs (nor can I think of any clubs to join) since it’s too late.</p>
<p>Sorry, I guess I digressed. Here is what I’m asking you:
I’m thinking about transferring to McCombs at the end of this year (and I’m taking Econ and Calc, so I satisfy the “indicator” courses), but let’s say my science classes ruin my GPA this semester and I end up getting 2 Bs because of their rigor. Is it relatively easy to transfer at least to Economics and the business foundations within Economics?</p>
<li><p>How far behind am I in terms of classes? I’m guessing I’ll have to take some more writing classes and whatnot, so is being 1 semester behind really that big of a deal?</p></li>
<li><p>What are some good clubs/ECs to have for law school, as in what clubs would you join if you were pre-law and at UT? And just for law school in general, if I get internships with business companies and not necessarily law firms, is that alright, or do they only want law firms for work experience?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>ECs have to matter somewhat right? I hope I'm trying to sound like I'm arguing, but even though they aren't weighted as heavily as say in high school, they are what distinguish people, correct?</p>
<p>And btw, if i get a couple of Bs my first semester would that hurt my cumulative GPA a lot? Sorry if I'm sounding overly paranoid, but I know how important it is to get into the T14 law schools, so I don't want to hurt myself this early in the game, especially since there's a looooong road ahead.</p>
<p>IF you think they do, then so be it. Why worry about arguing you said you wanted to practice law.
Heck what do I know......I had some, I didn't view this as a boost in anyway. Nobody ever asked me about that.....the interviewer asked if I had done a thesis. Period.</p>
<p>sorry, but I didn't understand that last post at all. But I got your private message, so I'll look into those sites. Thanks for giving your opinion though, and I seriously don't mean to question your knowledge, and I'm really sorry I sound like I'm insulting you because that's not my intention. I'm just surprised that you're saying that they are completely worthless, especially since it was such a big deal in high school</p>
<p>You are not insulting me. I was telling you that if you believe that ECs are important then to YOU, individually, they clearly matter. For the real world and in the world I know......not so much.</p>
