Computer Science's showing on the avg LSAT by major list

[schrizto]

<p>

In twenty-five years of practicing law, much of it in-house for high tech firms, I can think of precisely one lawyer who majored in physics as an undergrad, and one who majored in math. </p>

<p>They’re both very smart people. That’s true of all of the other physics and math majors I’ve known. Smart people tend to chose challenging majors in college, and those who take the LSAT tend to do well on it. I’m not sure what the mystery is here.

</p>

<p>It’s never been the topic of this thread about why physics and math majors do well on the LSAT, it’s about why computer science isn’t up there with physics and math if it’s also a major that smart people choose and is challenging (moreso than other majors ranked similarly as CS on that list).</p>
