<p>I am most likely going to Emory University in the fall of 2009.
For a long time I've been interested in iBanking and law. If I really want to do law I would probably major in Economics and History at Emory (great history school). Emory's history program is pretty strong and would prepare me for the LSAT hopefully. </p>
<p>But I was thinking of trying to get into the business school if I still am undecided at this point in college.
MY QUESTION: With a degree from the business school, would I be prepared for GMAT and LSAT ?
ALSO, does anyone know if law schools widely accept business majors (I've heard you can major in just about anything.)</p>
<p>I majored in business ( accounting ) in undergrad, got my CPA license, worked a few years for Price Waterhouse, went to law school, became a trial lawyer... IMO, law schools don't really care what you majored in in college. I had nurses, architects, poli sci kids, engineers, et al... as classmates in law school. Suggestion : focus on what you like and pursue it in undergrad...the grad schools / law schools will all fall into place thereafter. Best of luck.</p>
<p>Well, if you are interested in Economics, you mine as well go to the business school, right? I mean, Emory's b-school is a lot more rigorous and prestigious than the Economics program, and would probably better line you up for a job. Maybe if you have some passion for upper-level Economic classes at Emory, then you could rationally justify majoring in Economics..</p>
<p>And for preparing or the LSAT, I doubt any one major will prepare you significantly better than any other. That test is more about testing inherent intelligence. Self-study is probably the route to go.</p>
<p>why is this forum entitled "emory dilemma"? isn't dilemma when u have to decide between two equally NEGATIVE alternatives?
anyways just take a major which will test your problem solving and analyzing skills and you're all set for LSAT.
no offense to business week, but US News has more reputation overall. it's a better choice to just average out those two and just say that emory is in top 10 instead of just naming the best ranking out there (kind of like what happened last time with my friend. who stated that u-dub is in top 15 in the world and i was like "yea sure, your university is so much better than dartmouth as it's in 60 something place according to that ranking").</p>
