<p>I know I want to double major in Political Science and English. Michigan doesn't offer English as a minor, so my only choice is to double major if I want to pursue English. Would also adding a minor in History be too much? I know I can finish in 4 years (maybe with an additional summer term or two). I want to go to law school (NYU is the dream!) Would having two majors and a minor make me seem diverse or make me seem indecisive about what I like best like I'm not passionate enough about one thing?
Do law schools even care what I study as long as my GPA is high and my LSATs are solid?</p>
<p>General consensus is that it won’t help with law school. But if you want to do it, just do it.</p>
<p>Law schools don’t care. For the most part nobody cares. Beyond introductory small talk, double majors (let alone double majors plus a minor) doesn’t mean as much as you may think.</p>
<p>I don’t think it makes you seem indecisive. As for the diversity, I don’t know what it adds. The three disciplines you mentioned are probably three of most popular majors for students entering law school. You would be more diverse if you were a physics major.</p>
<p>Major in something and take what you’re interested in and do well with what you do. It is not necessary to extend your undergrad years to impress a law school.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter but in the rule is that if you think you have to double major to “show” someone or some group that you’re competent then that probably means you just aren’t doing enough extra curriculars or that you aren’t studying anything too challenging to begin with. Do you see engineers double majoring much? There’s a reason engineers have a larger “leeway” in terms of GPA when they’re applying for law/med school. Take the classes you enjoy only if you truly like it and are interested.</p>
