<p>If you can do that, then nobody will care what your major is. If. But a 175 is like 3 out of every 1000 testtakers, so I wouldn't go around banking on that.</p>
<p>arpster...sounds like you've got a lot you want to do. It is a good idea to take english/philosophy, but to be honest, unless you like taking upper div math courses, you excel at math, and/or it's part of your major, then sure. However upper div math courses are definitely no cakewalk and if they lower your GPA then don't do it. (i.e. everything is theoretical in advanced math, no longer numbers). Upper div math is way harder than calculus. As for serious research, sure, if you like it and excel at it and have time for it. But that won't help you that much for law school applications. Just focus on getting a high LSAT and GPA first and foremost.</p>
<p>I was planning on dual majoring in Journalism/Poli Sci. Is Journalism considered too "vocational"? I figured it would be journalism would be good major because it creates effective communication, writing, synthesizing, research, and forcing stuff out of people skills that are useful for lawyers.</p>
<p>Speculation: the PoliSci will cover it, even if it is vocational?</p>
<p>I'm looking between business school and law school.. I took some paralegal classes at a community college and I got a B and a C and W's on 3 other one's. This was like 2 yrs ago. Will this effect me if I apply to law school in a few yrs, even if they are vocational classes?</p>
<p>Right now I'm a double major in accounting and finance and minor in psych.</p>
<p>CC classes will affect your LSDAS GPA, which will affect law school applications.</p>
<p>what do you mean? they are vocational classes so most colleges don't calculate into the CGPA. I don't know if I want to go to law school but I'm just looking at options..</p>
<p>Would graduating in 6 yrs plus one semester for an internship look bad? I went to a 4 yr uni for a yr, transferred to CC, now am at a 4 yr uni. I'm probably gonna grad in dec.2010 the latest. Should have grad. this may but I did change my major.</p>
<p>LSDAS, when accumulating all your college-level grades, will include... well, all your college-level grades. What your university includes doesn't matter -- LSDAS wants it all.</p>
<p>it'll probably still be a 3.45</p>
<p>I was looking into smu since its right by my house. they've accepted ppl from my uni. </p>
<p>What about graduating in 6.5 yrs? looks bad or doesn't matter. I know for b-schools it doesn't matter (many ppl have told me that).</p>
<p>I am currently a hospitality administration major and I know that law schools will see this as a vocational major. I am currently a business admin minor, but was thinking about switching to philosophy as a minor, just to stack up on some difficult courses over my senior year that all involve heavy reading, writing, and analytical skills. Will this switch, although it is just a minor, help me out in any significant way? Lets assume I do very well in those classes and maintain at least an A- throughout.</p>
