<p>I'm pretty unsure as to where I want to go, and as I'm entering my senior year and still have basically no idea I'm looking for some opinions.</p>
<p>My SAT score falls around 2000, however my GPA is... crap. I believe it's around an 87? I took harder classes and got the C's instead of the easier ones for the quick A's, and I hope the colleges I apply to are able to see that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I already know I want to become a lawyer,(ha) but since there is basically no major for law undergrad, I'm really uncertain what I should study. I was considering business until I realized how much math(my worst subject) plays a role in the courses for it. I've been told to take something I can do well in, since law schools rely heavily on grades for admission. </p>
<p>I'd prefer to stay in the north-east, and I'm not looking to spend a crazy amount since I do plan on going to law school as well. Some schools I've been looking at are SUNY Geneso, SUNY Binghamton and The University of Vermont, but that's only 3...</p>
<p>So any recommendations are welcome! Thank you.</p>
<p>E: I forgot to add that my school does not give class rankings, which makes my search more difficult.</p>
<p>You probably have to apply ED to Geneso or Binghamton to increase your chances. Your GPA is low for either of them, however hard is your course load.</p>
<p>@Erin’s Dad I would say less than 30k a year, but less is better obviously and that’s why I’m looking into SUNY schools.</p>
<p>@PCHope I understand that and that is my main problem, along with the lack of clubs and activities I did during high school, I shouldn’t have listened to those damn people who told me to take harder courses.</p>
<p>@Aerobug I’m thinking some along those lines. My strengths are in English and writing, any other ideas for majors?</p>
<p>There is a pre law major… It may not be the best major out there, but it’s still a law prep major. Personally, I’m majoring in Political Science and I hope to become a lawyer some day.</p>
<p>I believe I’ve read that pre-law majors (and there are few schools which offer that) do worse than other majors. You can major in anything you want for pre-law, as long as you can develop a rigorous thought process and it helps you prepare for the LSAT. You also want good UG grades.</p>
<p>I know a friend who majored in computer science and is now going to Drexel for patent law. Erin’s Dad is right - hone your mind, and everything else will follow (with dedication, of course)</p>
<p>Yes, pre law majors as a whole do not score as well. But that is only because pre law majors include a variety of people who have an interest in law, and with more people comes a larger range of scores.</p>
