<p>Does it realy matter what kind of classes I take for law school admissions? Some say they don't, others say they do. So which is true??? Is it just ok if I have a 3.7+ in finance/acct and a 167+ on the LSATs?</p>
<p>Please Answer!</p>
<p>Your coursework matters to the extent that you show a broad range of interest in addition to your chosen major, but what matters most is your academic performance across the board. In other words, law schools won't care if you majored in political science or biochemistry, but they will care if you took ONLY political science or biochemistry classes. Also, it's pretty silly to ask if your GPA and LSAT score are "ok" without mentioning the schools to which you are applying.</p>
<p>I am talking about top 14 schools</p>
<p>"but they will care if you took ONLY political science or biochemistry classes."</p>
<p>i'm still in high school but aren't the 3rd and 4th years of college dedicated to your major, meaning that those two years you'd be taking classes ONLY (or just about) in your major(s)? so would that mean that you have to express a wide interest in your freshmen and sophomore years? </p>
<p>like basically take a science, a math, a social science, an English, and a foreign language class for the first 4 semesters of college?</p>
<p>^ thats not how college works.</p>
<p>you have your General Educationi requirments which you can spread out for all 4 years, then you have your Major requirements that you can also spread out in all four years.</p>
<p>Many colleges are different on how they approach electives and general education courses. One of my daughters could do her gen ed classes during her four years while she was taking her major classes (which had to be taken in a sequence). My other daughter had to take her core classes first before she could start her classes directed toward her major. She was fortunate enough to have 39 credits from IB/AP classes that she only had to do the core requirements that she didn't get credit for. She is graduating a year early because of those extra credits.
So check with your college for your individual situation.</p>
