<p>What type of concentration(s) are most common / suggested for someone who has gone to / wants to go to a strong Law School (ie Harvard, Yale, Georgetown etc) after Brown Undergrad?</p>
<p>I was thinking International Relations? English? History? Political Science? Which of those would you reccommend?</p>
<p>Pick whatever would be the most fun!!!!</p>
<p>it's completely inconsequential. harvard law accepts ~40 brown seniors (more if you count people who take time off) each year. it's a pretty strict function of GPA and LSATs</p>
<p>Pick whatever you want. There are people who major in physics and biology that still get into top law schools. The most common pre-law majors (in general, not sure about Brown) are PolySci and Philosophy. Psychology is popular, too.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the GPA is one of the most important factors in law school admissions; while one can be accepted with a degree in physics or biology, the rigour of both majors may prevent one from earning a high GPA.</p>
<p>This is not to say that one should do an "easy major," since law schools also take into account the difficulty of the major. If you want to attend law school, love math, and are confident that you can earn a 3.7+, then go for it.</p>
<p>I would not eschew Brown's philosophy department, which is outstanding. Regardless of whether philosophy provides good preparation for law school, the faculty is reason enough to be a major : )</p>
<p>BROWN. That is all.</p>
<p>As has been said already, common pre-law concentrations at Brown and elsewhere include Political Science, Public Policy, History, Psychology, Philosophy, International Relations, Sociology, etc. However, don't limit yourself to social sciences and humanities if that's not what you want to do! Do something that interests you intellectually, and your grades will reflect that passion.</p>
