<p>I'm thinking about going to grad school for math, but I have a wide variety of interests. Would admissions committees care if I minor in something like legal studies or human nutrition instead of computer science or physics? (This is assuming I major in math, do well in all my courses, get some undergrad research experience, get good letters of recommendations, etc...)</p>
<p>Not really. When you go to graduate school for math, you will be expected to know and do math. Nothing else! However, minors can passively help you wherever you plan to go. I know some math PhD students do a lot of modeling and programming - a CS minor would be useful there. Statistics could come in handy. </p>
<p>If it interests you, take it, but be sure it does not detract from your ability to do well in your important math classes. A minor at all can’t hurt you, if you don’t let it affect your GPA. It can’t really “help” you, though.</p>
<p>Probably not, no, unless your minor was complementary to what you wanted to do research on - like a biology minor if you wanted to do epidemiology or biostatistics, or a comp sci minor for informatics or machine learning or something.</p>
