<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm going back to the U of Minnesota for economics. I have my AA from PSEO but didn't do much math while obtaining my AA. Math was never my strongest subject, but I enjoy economics primarily the psychological side of it but I'm willing to bust my butt learning calculus, etc. I've heard the b.s. is quite gruelling math wise compared to the b.a.</p>
<p>Knowing that grades will most likely drop a bit and hit my GPA as a result if I go the B.S. route and law school is a big interest for me right now should I go the B.A. route to keep my chances better at getting into a strong law school or is it best to tough out the B.S.</p>
<p>I'd ultimately like to have a legal and financial background and work with real estate.</p>
<p>I forgot to add, if I go b.a. I’m willing to minor in a subject. I do not currently meet the requirements for Carlson School of Management at the UMN so finance/acct. minors are out until I can get admitted to their program.</p>
<p>Any solid minor suggestions?

<p>You will need to keep your GPA as high as possible to be accepted to law school. If earning a B.S. in economics will prevent you from doing that, avoid the additional math classes and more challenging economics courses you will need for the B.S. degree. And minor in something you enjoy – there are no course prerequisites for law school (that I know of).</p>
<p>Having an analytical part of your studies will help though. I completely agree with above (do a BA), but try to incorporate something analytical if you can.</p>
