<p>Hello, all! </p>
<p>I am a student at a small liberal arts school. What would be more beneficial in applying to law school or a future law career: Double majoring or graduating in three years? I've come to the point where I can do one of the two, but I am unsure of which path to take. My major is political science, which I understand is fairly common among law school applicants. If I added a second major, I am considering a more empirical subject - maybe mathematics. However, graduating in three years could be more beneficial financially. I'm really not sure which path would be more useful, though I am unsure if there is another subject which I am particularly zealous about. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>If you can put that money towards law school and not undergrad, consider graduating early. </p>
<p>I do not think that either one will make a big difference for law school admissions.</p>
<p>I’d aim to graduate in 3 years unless you feel that you might not be a lawyer and need something to fall back on (like math as you mentioned)</p>
<p>God forbid you don’t take the fastest, easiest route to suing people.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend complementing that political science degree with a degree in science, engineering, or mathematics.</p>
<p>How financially beneficial? If we’re talking a few thousand I’d consider the double major. If we’re talking a few tens of thousand I’d say screw it, go take the LSAT.</p>
<p>if you are SURE you want to go to law school, i would probably graduate early. then, take a year off from school, get a part time job, and study the LSAT. </p>
<p>take the LSAT after that year of prep, go to a top school, profit.</p>
